Mug Rug Exchange - Do it yourself style!

Thank you, muchas gracias, to all!!!

Ritzy, you're awesome! Love the singing, the balloons, the flowers, the present. Great photos, enjoying them very much. Big thanks!!! And I second Terrie, you are NOT boring whatsoever. :wink:

Lotti, thank you for the gorgeous flowers. Peonies are one of my favorite flowers. Miss mine a lot from the house in Springfield, Misoouri. Have several herbaceous ones and 3 tree peopnies. One salmon color, one yellow and a very cool one, half dark pink and half light greenish/white. Definitely is better to leave them in the garden, we'll enjoy them longer and the photos for a long time.

Can't way for you all to arrive to start "virtually" celebrating with me. Since i had to have Benadryl with chemo today, I'll be wired up for the next couple of days. Do you like weekend long parties? Any night owls? If not, you can all go to sleep. I'll have sourdough pancakes for breakfast, from an over hundred year old sourdough starter I got from a native alaskan lady, when I was in Kotzebue, AK 13 years ago.


Let the fun begin and have a fantabulous weekend!!! :? :wink:

Happy Birthday Limbania, glad to hear that this was your last Chemo. Praying for good results.

Feliz Cumpleanos.

I hope I do not miss TGS plane this time.

Those are stunning photographs, Lotti. What kind of camera are you using?

[suehenyon]

Limbania, you mean you can actually stay awake with Benadryl? That stuff makes me sleepy for days & meaner than a junk yard dog. A friend uses it as a sleeping pill :lol: :lol: :lol: which is illegal in nursing homes because it disorients old people so much!

[suehenyon]

Just curious, Lotti - are those pics taken with your ipad or a camera?

[lotti]

The first three I took with my iPad, the others were from earlier on, with my old Nikon D70...
Great camera but getting old, and a pain because it uses the 'old' memory cards so that I need an adapter and have to convert all the pictures from raw files using photoshop...
I've been wanting to replace it, but the affordable ones are not quite up to what I want them to do, and as I blew half my camera budget on fabrics for the Oklahoma quilts, I'll just have to wait another year or two... The kids need their quilts more than I 'need' a new camera.

Hurrah last chemo

I'm on holiday in France so will have to make a virtual trip to your celebrations Limbania. :lol:

I wish I could put pictures on here from my iPad . I'm eating sausage sandwiches for breakfast listening to the cocks crowing and lambs at the end of the garden. The bees are buzzing in and out of the hive. Under my feet is a camomile lawn and the air is fragrant with herbs growing around me. Sigh......

[twiglet]

Wow! Should we join Wendy in France? We can celebrate there too! :roll: :wink:

Wendy, does your iPad have a camera? If yes, you can upload them. The photo of me above is from two pictures that were taken with the iPad, while having chemo. I used the sketchbookX app to collage the photos. Once you have your photo in the photos app do the following:

Select upload attachment.
Choose upload file.
Choose existing or you can choose take photo or video, once this step is done,
Select add the file. You can add a file comment.
Select place in line.

Hope this helps.

Happy birthday Limbania, and congratulations on your last chemo. You have done so well and have smiled most of the way through. Well done you. What happens next?

I have been too busy to read your other thread but will get to it soon.
Hugs

Today is the last day of my groups Indigo exhibition. We are all so tired but happy as we have had so many compliments. The church is beautiful and it makes a lovely backdrop for the exhibition. We take down everything to night; pack the van with all the stands and quilts and head to the Studio to deliver the stands back there. Then it is home to relax. I will need to tidy the house as I have been leaving home at 8.45 am and not getting back to 9 pm all week and have been to tired to think of picking up thread and pieces of fabric. My mother would be turning in her grave to see such an untidy house. ops: ops:

I will take some photos today and post them next week.

Hi Maureen,
Take it easy, the house work and the dust bunnies will still be there next week waiting for when you feel less tired.

Ah Maureen, we don't need to see photos of how messy your home is because you have been busy, we all have one of those! :lol:

Seriously though, I would love to see those indigo quilts please.

Limbania, sorry I had to go to bed for a few hours there but I am ready to roll now. How about a 'Continental Breakfast' like Wendy will be having? Fresh buttery croissant with apricot jam, a demi baguette and a grand creme or chocolat au lait if you would prefer?
