Leaving April

That's it. Just like that, month #4 is gone too. With it goes the pink fabric, back into bins until next year.

April was a very "special" month for many reasons. DH lost an aunt who has been fighting for the last 3 years. Raven got into a major fight and came back looking like Rocky Balboa. A bite behind his ear got badly infected and needed some professional care. No worries, not showing that. 

They had to shave him to better clean the wounds. We now call him Frankenstein. The good part is that I finally have a vet who will neuter him. So no more fights I hope. 

One of the pregnant girls at the office had to leave unexpectedly for bed rest, leaving us stranded sooner than planned. The new girl finally came in this past week and the intense training started. She should be okay in two or three months. A new job application for me with a written test and an interview were done and passed. (Still waiting on the phone call to know if I got the job or not.) Then DH took a turn for the worst. His Dr. told him he has high blood pressure and it needs to be monitored twice a week. We got a monitor asap. Hopefully, the month of May will be calmer. Please? 

How about some Pink? In my last post, I forgot to show you the Star Bloom's pink blocks. 

Ta-Dah! 

I tried to do something for the Table Scrap Challenge hosted by The Joyful Quilter ...

... but fell short. 

In a mindless sewing session (instead of working on what I'm supposed to be working on) I assembled some more Jericho's Wall Blocks in red. Only one got made in January so more was needed. I had a hard time picking some red fabrics that were light without looking pink. Then it hit me! A UFO named Shoreline is the culprit. It hugs all my best fire truck engine reds. It was child play to pair these with the ones left in the stash as the latter holds the light ones. Do you keep some fabrics with a project and then forget they are stashed elsewhere? 

Number 4 is waiting by the sewing machine for more pieces. It's in the orangy-red section of the rainbow. 

While I was cutting bits of white for background in numerous sizes, I did a white Chaser block using a leftover log cabin block I found. And a pink one. And a light pink one. 

I don't carry such light pink fabric. Guess where these come from. Thank you, friends. 💗

 

I probably won't sew much this weekend as the sun is finally here and I just want to enjoy it. So, I hope you have some time to sew and enjoy the sunshine too. 

Raven is enjoying it too as he hasn't been outside for a while. The front is all healed and at the back, the base of his ear is closing nicely. Phew! It was a pricey visit to the vet but it was worth it as he is doing so much better. 

Take care everyone.
