Wait, what? Thursday?

The week has flown by, hasn't it?

The flowers are blooming:

These were a tall tree that created a canopy over my car.  Aren't they pretty?

I finally picked up my ceramic art from the pottery place.  This was a design that we found online (it's a Celtic E).  The guy on the left apparently has no nose.  Sorry, dude.


The back of the mug looked really plain, so I put together this design.  Unfortunately, the green and yellow turned out very similar.  I thought that was a darker green.  Bummer.


I'm working on finishing a quilt that I started ages ago.  It was supposed to be a Flying Dutchman block, which is supposed to look like this:


Sadly, I sewed them all together wrong, so it looks like this:

Not to worry, it still looks cool, but instead of having pinwheels to fly with, it has Friendship Stars in it...so I'm calling the Friendly Dutchman block.  I added a 3" white border and a border of Flying Geese blocks.  However, it's not big enough to fit the King bed, so I decided to add another 3" white border and a border of more triangle blocks, called Broken Dishes.  This is what it will look like when it's done:


Here is one of the Broken Dishes blocks.  I have to make 52 of them and I will alternate the direction so it'll look like zig-zags around the edge.


I'm trying to watch the Hobbit, but I never finished reading the book...which I tried to do years ago.  I don't remember most of the story, except that this hobbit guy went for a long walk with a bunch of annoying guys whose names all rhyme...Hokey, Pokey, Loki, Jokey, Snooki, Pookey...I don't know.  And there's a tall wizard named Gandolf.  The rest is a mystery.  Kelly's not due back til tomorrow, at which time, he might be able to act as translator for me.  Right now it's just making me tired.  Maybe I should just go to bed.
