Colour change
I want it to be spring so this is as close as I can come. Now I have to go take the DGD to swimming and then pick up my knitting pattern that I left in Inge's car.
More fabric .............................. WELL
I have to make a quilt for my niece and she chose colours that aren't all in my stash.............. so I had to go buy some ....... right?????
Today was Fat Quarter Tuesday at ......................... Quilt shop in Bellingham. I wasn't going to go because I don't need any more fabric and I didn't want to spend the money but........................................ Inge and Jocelyn forced me to go with them............................................. Yes they did.....................................................HONEST .............................................. Inge told me Saturday that I was going if they had to drag me kicking and screaming................................ Not a good thing for the neighbours or Shelby to see so I went quietly. Many Fat Quarters later I am home and here are photos of my purchases. That Margaret wasn't even able to join us for lunch as she was so busy at work.
I think these will make a nice quilt. What do you think???
I bought two japanese print fat quarters and ....
these are just because.
Saturday I finished a Dear Jane block for Rosa and Sunday Iris, Celeste and I played with UTEE and stuff.
Yesterday I did next to nothing trying to recover from a very busy week. I did some knitting and finished this bag. The pattern is Pinwheel Purse from "Modular Knits" by Iris Schreier
The yarn was hand-spun I did about 15 years ago and I felted it slightly. Instead of a button I used a broach I made many years ago when I still did petite point.

We found it
Well today we went shopping for Wedding dresses again and ................................................. we found one........................... Hurrah. It is a lovely dress and Cory looks gorgeous in it. It needs to be shortened and taken in a little around the hips so is at the dress makers right now. She got her shoes and veil as well all for under $500. I am exhausted but so are Molly and Cory.

I am losing it............
I am not sure what IT is so that makes it hard to find it. Yesterday when I got dressed I put my shirt on inside out and my jeans on back to front and no they do not have a zipper (elastic waist). Fortunately I discovered this right after I did it so didn't go out in public. Besides the jeans felt funny.
Last night was pool hall night, there was 8 of us, no 7. The Yarn Floozies didn't come so they must have gone to Three Bags Full. Today 2 of my quilting friends are coming over to knit and tonight is knitopia.
Tomorrow is Wedding Dress shopping again , Saturday is quilting at Jocelyn's and Sunday is Multi- media group here.
I also started the Twisted Wrap for Cory. I know........ I KNOW .........I have the 2 shawls to do for other people but I can;t do them at knit nights.

I saw the ring
Cory came over today to pick me up to go shopping for her Wedding dress. WE SAW HER RING and it is very large and beautiful. I will take a photo of it next time I see her. There is 3 large diamonds and a bunch of small ones.
We met my friend Molly in New Westminster and started shopping. OH MY GOSH we must have seen a zillion gowns................................. and some of them are really awful ................................I am sure they must suit some people but ......................aaaawwwwwwwwcccccckkkkkkkkkkk............................. I can't think who .............. but most of them were lovely.
Cory must have tried on at least 25 dresses. We found 5 that looked good on her and she liked but nothing that said "THIS IS IT". The other thing we found out is the larger sizes go first ............. now Cory wears a 12 but she had to try on a 16 to get enough room in the bust. You would think that they would make wedding dresses a little larger than the normal size rather than smaller. Mind you maybe Cory is a 16 bust and a 12 waist and hip. Friday we go again and hopefully we will be successful. We all went home very tired. I am not sure why but watching some one try on wedding dresses is almost as tiring as trying them on.
Can you believe that I did 3 postings today ......................... must be a record.

Engaged
Our Daughter Cory is engaged and they are sort of eloping to Mexico in April to get married. They don't want a big ceremony so are going to be married on the beach in Mexico. She got a ring last night but I haven't seen it yet.
Girls day
Yesterday we had an ABBA girls day. We were going to go to Margaret's house but Lisa forgot her passport so Margaret and Jeanette met us in Langley. We shopped in Home Sense, had lunch in a lovely restaurant. We ordered a salad and 3 appetizers to share, split a bottle of red wine and all tasted Lisa's fancy drink. For dessert we ordered 5 different ones. We past them round and round the table , tasting each as they came to us until they were all gone. We shared what was going on in our lives and after lunch we went to Chapters. Then Sherri, Lisa and I had to leave so hugs all around and we hope to meet in Whistler next month.
