Selling the Millie, waiting for action

 I'm still nursing my back fractures and (somewhat) patiently waiting for my surgical appointment in October. 

The new Tempur Pedic bed arrived on Saturday and we slept on it that night. The two sides of the split king mattress moved during the night, and Penny was fuddled by falling into the dip it created. I researched what other people have done to resolve the problem, and Mr Wazoo spent Sunday taking it all apart and trying to fix the problem. Last night was better, but I think it would help if these adjustable bed people would get a fix! Anyway, the bed is comfortable and I am able to turn over with minimal effort and pain.

I have my Millie for sale on the APQS site, but am having difficulties finding it there. It figures...I posted it on August 7th, and have had no response, so I looked for it today and couldn't find it. I made a new post in the forum area for machines for sale, but it still isn't there. I need to re-group and put it on line on other longarm sites.

Meanwhile, I saw a new post on Youtube from Timothy Totten about 3-D masks. The mask doesn't touch your mouth and stands away from your face, keeping your glasses from steaming up. I wore mine on the shop hop and it was comfortable and effective. I'll be making more today with a few tweaks.

See how it pokes out in the front? That is where all the breathing and talking takes place.

Your glasses sit on the top piece and there is no fogging! The bottom piece fits under the chin, completing the gap free fit on the face. I chose batik fabric for its tight weave and added a layer of fusible interfacing to the inside piece.

The three amigos traveled to Tennessee to the shop we couldn't visit last time, and a smaller shop right down the road. I bought some 'low volume' (I hate that term) fabrics for a quilt I would like to make, a new book and a pattern. I also bought some fun fabric for masks. As everyone knows, I just don't have enough fabric!!

I also found this cool Wisconsin Panel and hope to make a  pillow out of it.

I like this Cluck Cluck Sew pattern and have a jelly roll to use with it. The book has several great pre-cut quilts that appeal to me, and passed the 'Don't buy it unless there are three projects you'd like to make' rule.

Penny has started in on her second Yak Cheese Chew. These things are great! They don't get slimy and gross, she works on it for long periods, her teeth are nice and clean, and it doesn't smell! This is her new one so you can see the size of it. When it gets too small for safe chewing, you soak it in water, then microwave it and it becomes an edible cheese puff! No waste at all. Thanks to my sister for the first bag. I'll be ordering another one soon.

The pointy end is where she has been chewing. It is about 3/4 inch thick.

Who'd of thunk it? Yak cheese?!

Penny is back in her element, running and happy in the yard.

Its good to be home.
