INSOMNIACS place to talk in the wee hours

I DID do 2 more.... One for both boys in Orlando.... where quilts aren't exactly needed... Ha! But they are safely stored in their closets! Oh I found LOTS of pictures of Settee's! Like Love-seats... or small sofa's...

Here is one for us...

Spookie- that couch in the photo was my grandmothers and from the 1800's. My mother had it in our house as we grew up and when we had to clear out her house and move her to CA, I took the couch and another beautiful desk I really wanted.

The couch needs to be reupholstered as it has some faded areas, and found a place here that does good work with antiques. A friend had her family antique couch redone and saw it in person and may have that done at some point. I also have an antique rocker with wicker seat that needs to be re-caned and know someone who does that work too. More things to do down the line when I have the time and money.

Smaarty, Did you have a pattern for the owl or just wing it?

Rose, My GS were taught sign before they could talk. Most of their friends did it too. Lots less anguish when they can tell you want they want. I'm a slow texter, but I like doing it. DD said her boys would roll on the floor laughing to see how slowly I do it.

Love the furniture n the quilt.

If u r having issues with the wifi or the puter would b happy to help if i can.

Fire where r u worried along with u r ducky parter in crime

I am ok in the main room watching tv playing on my tablet.

Luvv guys

Bbl

Chevy, really..pay attention. ....i am n don't gamble, mayb with u r money i will.

Take care cause u know it will hurt tomorrow 

Yep apparently she needs a babysitter 

Pt ok,.m-s for 1 hour, but i am doing them more in my room..unfortunately there is nothing i can do it is just time...time for the ankle to heal. A splint on it now, either a cast or a boot when i go to the surgeon

CHEVY, am I gonna have to come allllllll the way out there to keep an eye on you? You be careful gf!!!!!

Enerva- that is beautiful, especially with the cyclomen. I just bought a white one myself and hope I don't kill it as I have never been good with them. What is the secret around light and water to keep them going?

Blondie- time heals all wounds, especially broken bones. I think it is a good time to catch up on some movies. Do you have a TV in your room or do you have to go to that group room?

Chevy- segway's are cool. But I don't think they will help you to get in and out of the tub. I used a cane at one point myself after some bigger abdominal surgery and feeling a loss of balance after that. It could help!

I figure eventually I am going to trade out my jetted tub for one of those walk in tubs, but have no idea what they cost? Probably a small fortune.

Enerva- you are my sister from another mother!

I found this link on cyclomens. They need bright light! This link says plant of the month for January. Lets see if we can keep our cyclomens alive this month!

We now have a flock. That is the link to make the owls. I've made two of them. Got a dress done and need to decide what I'm working on tomorrow. We leave at 2 and head home.

Me at the beach, it was nice and warm just before lunch, then the fog rolled in. Yes, the hair is longer then I thought. I'll cut off a couple inches in March. Sass, I don't it, just curl the ends and that's it

smaarty, that beech looks soooo good...I'm jealous.

And you owls are very cute. The brown one is my fav

Ah geez! You guys are getting me all excited for Spring!

Smarty's at the beach, Little Enerva made a Terrarium! And I LOVE Cyclamen's! I bought a little Hyacinth bulb, in a cute little jar, just standing with roots in that clear "vase".... It kept growing, I kept watering the vase, and one morning I woke up, and it was blooming, and fell out of that little jar!!!!!!!!!

Now who ELSE would do that? So I run upstairs, grab that old huge glass vase that I used to keep my Betta in, and stuck the little vase, in THAT vase, and now the Hyacinth is standing up like it should, being held up by the OTHER vase.... AND another Hyacinth stem is in there blooming too!

I'll take a picture of the vase within a vase....

Smarty, those Owls are darling!

And Spookie, I only partially FELL! I WAS taking a shower... See, DH put this shower hose in about 20 years ago... It was just a bath-tub... Then he connected a hose from the faucet, with a loop, because the faucet was pointing down, and he attached it up above on a form, that went around the tub... The shower head is mounted above, just like a real shower!

But that "loop" is what will kill me! I had stepped OUT of the tub, onto the soft little fluffy rug, but my other foot got tangled up in the loop of the hose, and held on, so I just only fell down on one knee, and my hands, and then I rolled over, and THAT is what is so funny! My leg was still in the tub, bleeding like bloody murder from the connection... he spliced it for some reason, with a metal thing! So once he heard me hit the door with my hand as I splat hit the floor... I felt like a beached whale.... I mean guppy!

And he thought he should help me up, but I didn't want to move something that might not move....! So I got all my parts figured out, and got myself up... but he thought that "syptic" thing would stop the bleeding!

Have YOU gals ever used that to stop the bleeding? Might as well get a blow-torch!

But it is funny now... Come to think of it!

He MIGHT get a one piece hose, instead of what is on there now! THAT way, when I fall, it will at least be smooth, and not have brackets and screws and whatever the hell it is on there. And figure out a better way to connect that shower head!

Susan... You made me laugh!

And so you can see part of that hose going from the faucet to the mounted shower head... It really IS quite clever... but I can screw THAT up in a hurry!

Our bathroom is very tiny... not enough room to install a pole...Ha!

I mean you can't fall VERY far! Can't even hardly turn around....

Chevy- the guest BR in my house is small like that. But not the main bathroom I have, I have a walk in shower in the master bathroom.

I also have no pole there either, but thinking about one....LOL!

Chevy- just kidding about the pole! I will stick to my second "evening job" for that activity.

Those bedrooms are beautiful and very romantic looking! The one on the bottom looks the most inviting for sleep. I love bedrooms with fireplaces in them too.

Sas- I sort of figured those walk in tubs were pricey. I built my house 11 years ago, and did so in mind with aging. I wanted one story (no stairs), nothing on the roof that had to be dealt with regularly (like a swamp cooler or AC unit), and did choose to have an upgrade done to include a walk in shower stall. I also had a handicapped rail put in that shower for my mother when she visited and boy, all those things really made a big difference with me getting around this place when it all went down in 2012.

My mother used to use one of those walk in tubs when she was at one of the two longer term care places and told me how much she loved it. She said she never felt more clean coming out of one! I figured they were for the rich and famous, or the group living situations.
