more randomness

http://www.kindheartedwomen.com/ has shealoe butter again! i LOVE that stuff. it's shea oil and aloe. i just ordered it in gardenia scent. i also love their african black soap, but have one in use and a spare still, so didn't get any of that this time.

i finished piecing the center of the quilt this morning and am working on borders. once i cut out the huge corner squares from the turquoise fabric, i realized that i didn't like that much of that fabric in such an exposed place. i might use the lava/peacock for the big squares.

also, being a dodo, i made nine of the nine-patch blocks. i had it so clear in my head that i needed nine of them. i kept working and counting the pile until i had nine.

i only needed seven.

i'll take them apart and use them for the stripes around the edge, but yeesh. like i said to my mil, i should have had the kids help me count, because 7 is obviously too hard a number for me. actually, i might leave them and put them with some sort of border in the corners instead of the turquoise. hmmmmm. but then i'd have to make two more nine-patch blocks and do i have enough of the light colored fabric? double-hmmmm.

mil is vacuuming. i love my mil! she also babysat the kids last night and dh and i went out to a vietnamese restaurant. we didn't order appetizers, the service was really quick, and all their desserts have coconut milk (yuck!), so we weren't there very long. dh suggested we go for a walk. it's not the prettiest area, but there's a baskin robbins a couple of blocks up...

my chiropractor got a new table! it splits in the middle and rocks your legs down and up to stretch the lower back while the chiro is leaning on you. sort of ouchy when he was doing it, but it made my back feel fabulous.
