In which Madi's Mom Makes....A Square Square Block (Day 3)

Is it Thursday already!?

As our dear buddy Arthur Dent said: "It must be a Thursday. I never could get the hang of Thursdays..."

I must just say now, bless Jeselyn for updating this blog for me while my laptop sulked in the corner, mad that its owner does things to computers.

Honestly, I don't mean to.

                                      But I apparently do things to computers that people who know computers assure me are not possible to do to computers. I have reformatted a thumb drive moving it from one computer to another computer 3 feet away. I have magnatized credit cards and floppy disks. My most recent accomplishment was making every program, every file, and every application on my compter open as windows media player.

Oh yeah.

Anyway, I spent the day, like my computer, sulking.

And quilting.

The challenge today was:

Use four colors. All pieces of this square must be square. No piece may share any part of an edge with a piece of the same color.

Why did I do this to myself???

I was never very spacial.

But, after a lot of tinkering, this is what I came up with:

It's a little blah, but I love the vintage flower fabric and wanted to show it off!

Something else I wanted to show off this week: Madi's 1st ever Halloween costume! Ok, so she waaaas going to be Spock, but it was a little too cool for her starfleet uniform (and besides, I have to save something for the mommy-daughter Star Trek conventions), so we went with the nerd parade costume instead, Aang from Avatar the last Airbender.

Her daddy went as Sokka, I was Katara, and a buddy of ours was a fire nation fighter (Ty Lee).

In the cartoon, our characters looked like this:





Trick or treating, we looked more like this:

(Dear Nickelodeon....our Avatar wins).
