That's probably one of the coolest compliments I've ever had. So if I start getting Stepford on your arse, you'll let me know I'm sure. <br /><br />Truth is , I'm one of those people that doesnt know how to do nothing, and I watch about one hour of TV a week so I have plenty of spare time. And all of this stuff is relaxing to me. Sewing isnt working!Shayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11032969125788408807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-89649705600855255972010-09-27T20:36:38.590+09:302010-09-27T20:36:38.590+09:30You make me feel like a job and a half and managin...You make me feel like a job and a half and managing a home just isn't enough.

Indy and Lola are dogs? And ...First things first. Indy and Lola are <i>dogs</i>? And you're making them a <i>string quilt?</i> They're cute dogs, but do they do work as investment bankers making you a bundle of money or routinely save you from falling down wells or something?<br /><br />Second, ohhhh, yes, black ribbons criss-crossing the bulletin board.<br /><br />Wise investment with the 'Jelly Roll Inpsirations' book you bought with the money from Miss P. I need to find something like that too, b/c until recently jelly rolls seemed like a complete waste. Now I sorta have a crush on them. Oh, and will you get Brooke and Mark to add me to their birthday list?<br /><br />Love that old door you bought. I'm voting screen door for the laundry.<br /><br />Also, nice work with the Redback. My rule is, if they come into my house, too bad. They get squished.<br /><br />Also, your patio is beautiful and the tiling on the backsplash that Mr. P did is fabulous. I think we should seriously reconsider a spouse swap. How does Mr. P. fancy living in the states for a couple of months doing a few household projects with me?<br /><br />xo -EElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07980461113595763030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-9794853271597943152010-09-27T11:22:53.187+09:302010-09-27T11:22:53.187+09:30There's so much in that post that I don't ...There's so much in that post that I don't know what to comment on!

Your before and after pics of the garden are VERY impressive - sometimes I just want to make a mess so I can take a picture afterwards - so satisfying (okay, not really, I'm not THAT crazy - usually). Nice week - lots done at your house.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11123520405709193418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-13934837579309855162010-09-27T00:36:09.222+09:302010-09-27T00:36:09.222+09:30I don't know Mrs. P, but I'm pretty sure y...I don't know Mrs. P, but I'm pretty sure you accounted for the other 84 hours in your week. You got a lot accomplished this week. Including a lot of quilty goodness. :-)<br /><br />Philosophical question...can you be a crazy cat lady when you have only dogs? Pretty neat door though. Love the arches at the top.<br /><br />As for the garden, here's what motivates me. I love flowers. So in any place I've lived, I've just added and added until my jungle (yes, I actually do have one in my desert garden now) is at least a flowered jungle. So my recommendation is to start with flowers. Put the tallest ones in the back. I recommend hollyhocks if they'll grow where you are.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805403370463885686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-80590395187720429062010-09-26T22:56:51.964+09:302010-09-26T22:56:51.964+09:30And I was bitching about the one inch winter grass...And I was bitching about the one inch winter grass tufts coming up through MY pavers that I sat down on Saturday and dug up with BILOP's new screw driver set(dont tell BILOP)and then jumped around like a crazy lady chanting "die..die..die you nasty grass" while I drowned them in weed killer just to make sure. Anyways, the patio area does look great! The kitchen tiles done by Mr P looks fabuloso..love them!

This week was not at 100% and you still did all this? <br /><br />It is official the one true blog friend I thought understood me for the real slacker I am because she shared my views has just proven I'm so far out on the slacker scale I'm tipping the balance ALL BY MYSELF. <br /><br />On the serious side, I LOVE the blocks and fabric. The toddler quilt is looking so fun I can't wait to see it crinkly either and frankly, I just want to reach through the screen and sneak those horses a couple of jelly beans. :D I'm loving them. <br /><br />oh, and I vote using black ribbon.Sarcastic Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08260818745110503205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-19233255754678147862010-09-26T20:59:51.007+09:302010-09-26T20:59:51.007+09:30I'm tired just reading about it all!!!

I had to look up "Redback" and found it's gotta be the wicked cousin of our Black Widow. Eww! My kids found one 3 weeks ago, along with 2 baby sacks. We put them in a jar (along with some crickets) and waited for the sacks to open. Overnight, they exploded with hundreds of baby black widows. I hate to say it, but it was then spider genocide. So, I guess killing one little Redback isn't as bad as the mass murderer's we seem to be. :o) Happy Sunday almost Monday! <a href="www.seamsinspired.com" rel="nofollow">Larri at Seams Inspired</a>Larrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05551141093395055894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-5606401978298923672010-09-26T19:12:44.150+09:302010-09-26T19:12:44.150+09:30Good grief woman, how on earth did you manage to g...Good grief woman, how on earth did you manage to get so much done.
