Home Again...Missing Eva!

And I'm back.  Again.  In Cincy.  Missing Eva (and Maggie of course).  She's such a sweetie!  Eva that is...not Maggie!  She's just so stinkin' cute!!!  And lovey!  I love when she reaches for me, even when Maggie is holding her. And I love when she runs up to me and reaches up for me to pic her up.  And she becoming such a little nut too!  She runs EVERYWHERE.  There is no more walking for her.  If she wants to go to the other side of the kitchen, she's running.  That girl is a runnin' fool!  Of course because she runs everywhere she now falls...all the freakin' time!!!  It drives her Aunt Muir NUTS!  And in falling, she's starting to hurt herself.  On my watch, she took a header on the deck, smashing her upper lip.  And yes she screamed and yes it swelled.  Next morning...she tripped again and fattened her bottom lip.  She looked like she had had her lips done! And then, apparently last night, on Charlie's watch, she bashed her head.  I'm hoping she starts connecting her careless wack-a-doo running and lack of watching where she's going with her injuries.  Maybe then she'll slow down.  Not likely.  Like a said, that girl is a runnin' fool!

(BTW - the pics?  Eva and I sat there after dinner one night for about 15 or 20 minutes it seemed and just read and played.  She loves it when you blow her hair...that's what I'm doing and she giggles like a, well a little girl...loves her!)

So today, I've done all my exercising and need to shower so I can run to the store and what not.  I also need to go to Half Price but I don't know if I'll do that today...we'll see.  I will also start some quilt cutting.  Maggie and I went to Joann's while in Columbus and bought some fabrics for Maggie's quilt that I'm going to start.  The pattern will be similar to the one shown but with different fabrics, of course.  Maggie chose some greens and blues and the small strips in between the larger blocks will be creamy/tan colors.  I'll also do a border, I think.  And of course she wants a king size so I'll be sewing for the rest of my life.  I want to get a walking foot attachment thingy so I can machine quilt but I'll have to investigate and figure that out.  (FYI Aunt Kathleen, I'm still working on the quilt you gave me I just need to get a walking foot attachment thingy for it).

And that's all I've got...need to get a move on.  Later!
