block swaps and other weekend stuff

yesterday was my hubby's birthday and we celebrated pretty much the whole weekend. he's still celebrating in fact...with coworkers now... but i took him out on saturday night to see paolo nutini in concert (whom you should see live - he is just as good live as he is on the recordings).




i resurrected my sparkly gold and multi-colored doc marten's for the concert (they weren't "new shoes" but they're good ones). somehow, snappy had never seen them before. they've been in my closet. right there. i got this pair of limited edition 8-holes my senior year in high school and either wore them or my first pair of birkenstocks every single day from october 10th through the end of school. well...i wore heels twice...or maybe a pair of wooden soled clogs to clunk on the stairs. anyways - i haven't worn them since college but one time. my feet hurt after a standing room only show. i need to remember only wear them when i get to sit down at least part of the time.

in between running to ikea, assembling furniture, going out to the concert, nearly squished by other cars, having migraines and visiting the family, i sewed. yippee! i got all my blocks finished for QBE and started work on my first wonky log cabin for john's quilt along. these are my 3 blocks for september:

for lucyquilts - something to match other blocks she's received

for namawsbuzyquiltin - a black and white block

for lucyquilts - a scrappy log cabin

i hope the ladies like their blocks. i had fun making them again this month, but i haven't signed up for so much that i'm overwhelmed. although, i just started the wonky log cabins.... i might be later. next up to work on - my september STUD mini.
