Auditioning Tiny Tiny Houses Sashing

So......

Tell me which you like or what you would like to see as a sashing unit.  All options would have cornerstones that would be a different color from the sashing itself.  Like the black with red cornerstones.

A Day of Construction.......and Destruction



Eight from today



I decided to get 20 houses done today.  I am not there yet but it is only 3 PM.  I still have time to get closer to the mark.  I have 8 so far.  

Pretty fine neighborhood



But in my defense I had larger problems.  With larger ears.  Yep, the Destructo Dog himself. 

And here is the whole neighborhood of 24 houses. I need to start thinking about the sashing so I can get a portion of the quilt put together as I go. I am thinking blocks of maybe 12 or 16 houses and sashing. Tomorrow I will audition colors. Frank likes light, I like dark.  I will show you what I am thinking.  Finding two yards of anything round here is a bit difficult.  What will work is short and what is 2 yards won't work!



When I started this morning I made myself a nice cup of this new tea I bought yesterday.  It is from Good Earth and tastes like those cinnamon red hots we used to eat.  And the funny thing about this tea is that once it steeps, it actually tastes SWEET!  It is marvelous.  I am loving it.  This is my second cup. 

I go to get a lunch bone for the dogs at lunch time.  As we step outside to pee, I notice something in the yard that looks strange.  Purple.  What do you have that is purple?  I ask DiNozzo.  He shrugs and grabs his bone and goes off to the living room to mucnch on it.  I go investigate and find this:

At least they are clean

My box of tea!  I was quite perturbed with him and I discuss this fact with him and he promises to be better after lunch. 

I get a few more houses done and they are clamoring for their 3 o'clock bones at 2:30 so, thinking to be nice to them, I get up and stretch my legs a bit.  I notice something white on my red carpet in the hallway.  Upon investigating I find Frank's tightey whiteys from the clean laundry I put on my bed BEHIND THE BABY GATE. 

I am a bit angry with DiNozzo and I discuss this fact with him and he promises to be better after his snack.

THEN.......

I walk into my bedroom to put up the tighty whiteys and find this:

WAS the cat's bed

Poor cat will be very angry with DiNozzo, that is her bed.

I decided if my house was going to stay intact I would have to kill DiNozzo.  He is a very lucky dog at the moment.  He is outside waiting execution.

I Feel Different Already!

I do, really.  In fact, as we were standing in Adele's driveway watching the boys shoot off fireworks that looked like the scatter bombs in Iraq, I felt different the second the clock digitally flipped over to 2012 and 1 second.

Carrie is going to send me some of the fireworks pictures I took with her camera, I did manage to forget mine.

But the best picture of 2012 so far is this one. 

Happy New Year and I hope this is the best year ever for you and me!


Oh, and NOW I can show you the Tiny Tiny Tiny Houses!  Yeah!  I know you have been waiting for this momemt, I hope it exceeds your expectation!  LOL.

I do like the black as the sashing.  I will have to look for some black in some of the fabulous sales that are still going on in the stores right now.  Jeanneke uses red cornerstones and I think I will use blue.  Or green, just to be different.  I had the houses on a piece of deep blue and they did look good.  Lynn Roddy Brown said she likes to use a deep purple for  borders on quilts that have so many colors in them that you often can't pull out just one or two main colors.

Maybe purple even.  We shall see.  The year is ripe with possibility!
