Well, here I am, nearly two weeks on. My stress levels have been high so I have just been sitting at the machine working away at the UFOs. I am getting close to having everything but the quilts done. Except for the projects that have parts missing. Those I have sorted into a smaller tub until I find them, if I ever do. At least the tub is only about half full of those!
I finished this on Tuesday. This is a very old UFO, but not one of mine. It was given to Ambrosina a long time ago and I finally got around to quilting it. She doesn't know who made it, but I give praise to the unknown quilt maker for her wonderful use of color. This quilt sings. I can tell it was made of recycled fabrics. The squares were cut before rotary cutters. They weren't all exactly the same size. The seams don't match perfectly, even with all that, this is a lovely quilt and I am sure she did the best she could. Ambrosina is glad to have it.
I even used all one piece on the back. It was nice that I had a large enough piece of blue to fit, I don't often.

We are expecting a blizzard tomorrow. We are supposed to get up to fourteen inches of snow. I've given up on spring. I think everyone else has too.

I saw the specialist on Wednesday, my kidney function is down to about 27 percent. At my age it should be about 77 percent. She came to nothing conclusive and is awaiting the results of some tests that I had done yesterday and an ultrasound I had this morning. She said I have to go off one of my diabetic medications and I am waiting to hear from my endochronologist.



These are some of the things I have gotten done. There are a lot more partially done, but they are dolls that need stuffing and I have to finish some more quilts so I have scraps of batting to fill them up with.

Still no car, Leon told David that the computer might need to be reset and to do that you take the positive connection off the battery, wait a few minutes and connect it back up. It starts up once and then we have to do that again. Not trustworthy, David is not motivated to do much with it right now, especially since it's electrical. The electrics on the cars have always given been difficult for him and it takes a real good reason to get started at it. Usually it's me having a fit because I don't have a car but I am not up to it right now. Next week is supposed to be warmer and I will firmly encourage him to call our son who is an auto mechanic and talk to him about what it could be. If he know what is good for him that is.

So with an end to all the little UFOs in sight, I have been pulling out fabrics to make myself some clothes. I need them but I was feeling so overwhelmed with all the stuff that needed finishing I didn't feel like working on them. Now, since it's mostly quilts waiting to be done, and I'll be working away on those too, I feel more like making some clothes. Something to look forward to since we aren't going to have a Spring!
