happy Tuesday! winners, & back to stitching

from my last post,

"the yellow ones don't stop"

I had two folks answer my question before the cutoff time:

"ELF" was the answer,

so instead of just drawing one person as the winner

I'm sending both of them some quilt-y somethings!

Congrats, Terri and Cheryl!!!

I'm an ELF, the movie, fan,

and yes, I know it's silly/stupid/funny

but it makes me smile.

While I was in New York City a couple of weeks ago,

the movie scene came to mind:

Buddy the elf: "the yellow ones don't stop!"

And that made me smile!

Then I had a doorman ask me what I was smiling about,

and that made me smile more!!!

And, yes, I still am fighting FLU York;
I'm happy to report, I'm on the mend-FINALLY!
(thanks to those who've asked about my well-being)

It's been a doosey!

For fourteen days now I've felt,
 well,

like I have the flu.

(by the way:  if you feel like you have the flu, stay home!!!

My doc said this flu is contagious for 10 to 14 days!!!

and yes, I know that staying home for 2 weeks is boring,

but there are immune compromised people out there

who can't afford to contract this)
Sorry, down off the box now...

Anyway, 

Until yesterday, I didn't even stitch a single stitch!!!

Neither have I cooked! 

Now I know I was sick! -

no stitching & no cooking for two weeks!!!

Not like me.  Not like me at all.

Yesterday I felt a little more energetic,

so I grabbed my

A Gardener's Alphabet stitchery bag.

I finished the last few stitches on a few blocks... 

"Wx"-winter: just needed some berries

"Tz"-trellis: finished the zinnias' petals and french-knot centers

"Uv"-violets: needed the flowers stitched

  and

"Y"-yarrow: stitched the whole thing! (it's a small block!)

Now, I know they all need to be pressed,  
and that will come, eventually.
I'm just glad to say I'm getting back to some stitching!!

I may even cook something -

maybe tomorrow :)
