It has been a busy week of celebrating, cleaning fridges, making cacti, and such...
so I am only now getting back to some quilt projects
in process.
This is my Dresden Plate project so far...
(block #12 is in the works!)
Lately, I will sew the 20 pieces of the dresden plate together sometime early in the day..
so I have something to applique later while watching a movie with Mr. U.
We have our spots on the reclining couch (a Mr. U find at a consignment shop)...
Mr. U sprawls out on the couch
while I place all my sewing tools on a side table and
stretch out....

and Mr. U likes to tuck his toes under my legs
(in the colder upstate NY months, we have a quilt or two on top!)
Now I must tell you that I bring a hand project to our movie evenings for a reason!!!
If I don't have something to work on,
I tend to doze off!!!!
Must be something about my advanced age!!!!!
Anyway....
this week, this arrangement seems to have resulted in some...
how shall we say?.....
(hmmm... hard to pin down the right word!)
pointed situations....
Somehow, Mr. U found the little piece of batting
in which I stick my extra needles!
And he didn't spot them with his eyes..
rather ......
he felt a brief, sharp, needle-like sensation
before he located them in his SOCK!!!
Oh my!
And last evening, when Mr. U suddenly asked me to pause the movie..
I dropped the remote from the couch arm..
and somehow..... my thread became unthreaded!
Oh boy.... it's like looking for a needle in a haystack (so to speak)!!!!!
It tooks us a minute to locate the needle
but lucky for Mr.U
it wasn't in his sock
but on the rug below the couch!!!
The things Mr. U tolerates!!!!
but he loves me!
Well, it's Friday morning,
and I have a couple prizes to give away .....
The bag goes to....

Warning: Watch movies with me at your own risk!Have a great weekend!!!!
I am still drooling over your dresdens! Dang it, I am going to make one and get it out of my system. LOL!
ReplyDeleteMr. U is a keeper! (you already know this..just sayin)
You have a great weekend! Enjoy the awesome weather, we are going to have here in NY.
I agree with Lori entirely!
ReplyDeleteYou know, they should make needles in neon colors to make them easier to find on the floor and similar places!
ReplyDeleteYour plates are really looking wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI have been in the same situation with those lost needles and pins. It is a mad scramble to find them with your eyes before someone finds it with their feet.
That quilt is looking gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteO my; a harrowing--but funny--tale about toes and a needle. What our poor husbands don't put up with!
What great projects ~ but then your projects always inspire me! Thanks Lisa.
