Mattresses and a Stash Report

Two Miracles!  Mattress and Fabric Usage!  Is the world going to end? 

The delivery truck arrived 10 minutes after they called on Saturday morning and said they were 10 minutes away.  One of the men was a supervisor at the warehouse.  He said that he had seen my name for the last month, on and off the delivery schedule. 

Yes, I knew that....very well!

When he walked in to move the box spring, he turned to me and asked if that is what we had been sleeping on.  Yes, I confirmed, i told  him about having many many many many quilts and the genius sleeping bag idea.  He exclaimed, "That ain't right, we should have brought this when it first came in last week!"

Yes, I agreed!

He also said he would so his very best to make sure that that bed came in and gets to us on Tuesday.  

Yes, I agreed!

But it was like heaven to sleep on that mattress last night! My body sunk deep into the space age foam, my arm didn't  go to sleep under the pillow, and my knee even felt less stiff waking up this morning.  All I need now are vibrations!

Tuesday.  Yes, Tuesday.

For the stash report, I used 1 1/2 yards of fabric in the tote bags, not counting the canvas drop cloths in there.   And I  added in the football quilt for William.  And the solids I added to the Lorax. 

Not great, but not bad for getting back into the swing of things. 

I need to work on the Banned Book piece today.

Here is where things stand.........darned quilt shop that closed.  I would be over another hundred yards down if they had not put their inventory on sale.......just sayin!

Used this month -9.5 used this year -101
bought this week 2.66
bought this month 2.66 bought this year 179.66
plus or minus -6.84

  1. Great bag, great quilt - good story about mattress - why couldn't they deliver it last week! I'm looking forward to that BB quilt. Using 101 yards is impressive.

  2. I-I love the colorful clothes she wears
    And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair
    I hear the sound of a gentle word
    On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air

    I'm pickin' up good vibrations
    She's giving me excitations (Oom bop bop)
    I'm pickin' up good vibrations (Good vibrations, oom bop bop)
    She's giving me excitations (Excitations, oom bop bop)
    Good, good, good, good vibrations (Oom bop bop)
    She's giving me excitations (Excitations, oom bop bop)
    Good, good, good, good vibrations (Oom bop bop)
    She's giving me excitations (Excitations)

    Close my eyes, she's somehow closer now
    Softly smile, I know she must be kind
    When I look in her eyes
    She goes with me to a blossom world

    I'm pickin' up good vibrations
    She's giving me excitations (Oom bop bop)
    I'm pickin' up good vibrations (Good vibrations, oom bop bop)
    She's giving me excitations (Excitations, oom bop bop)
    Good, good, good, good vibrations (Oom bop bop)
    She's giving me excitations (Excitations, oom bop bop)
    Good, good, good, good vibrations (Oom bop bop)
    She's giving me excitations (Excitations)

    (Ahh)
    (Ah, my my, what elation)
    I don't know where but she sends me there
    (Oh, my my, what a sensation)
    (Oh, my my, what elation)
    (Oh, my my, what)

    Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations a-happenin' with her
    Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations a-happenin' with her
    Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations a-happenin'

    (Ahh)

    Good, good, good, good vibrations (Oom bop bop)
