How About a Tuesday Tally?

What have I been up to???  Let's see.  Friday night we made our semi-yearly trip to the mall and I got a new hairdo.  First time it's been cut in nearly a year, and boy did it need it.  My hair hasn't been this long since I got married.  I've decided to stop with the hair color, and there isn't nearly as much gray as I thought there would be.  Saturday, I rode to the car dealer to look at a new car with Rod, and we ended up buying a "hamster" car.  We're already getting 8 mpg more than we were getting in the other car, and when you consider that Rod drives 100 miles a day, it's a big plus.

I've been working on the Bubble Guppies quilt for Jake.  I bought the background fabric to use for a zoo quilt, but that hasn't happened.  I thought it was perfect for an "underwater" feel. All 12 blocks have been traced.  I have 7 fused, but only these three are finished.  Three more have been zigzag-ed, but I haven't done the features yet.

I have a free day today, and I think I may put the quilt aside and work on new bags for Disney.  For Christmas, I had made little bags with a key ring attached.  I sat down, measured, cyphered and finally came up with a pattern for a bag that is a little larger.  On one side will be a vinyl pocket (to hold driver's license and Disney Key to the World card.  On the other side will be a pocket closed with Velcro for change.  And then the zipper bag will be large enough to hold our cell phones.  It will have a clip rather than a key ring.  If they look good, I will post photos.

As a postscript to yesterday's post, the raspberry vanilla refrigerator oatmeal was pretty good.
