Stars for Aug & Sept

 Here are my stars for Aug & Sept.  Last week I lucked out and found another small baggie full of scraps for more star parts.  Love the golds and yellows,  they will give the finished quilt a warm look.   I sat with cutting board on my lap to cut different fabrics while watching tv.  It was slow work but I did get lots cut.  The background fabric is a gold glittered muslin but glitter doesn't show up in photos.   

We are supposed to sew two blocks per month but I may try for three.  Since I used the "waste method" for star points the "waste pieces"  will go into scrappy borders (maybe).  Have to think about how I want to use them up.

Gosh, I should have been showing pics of the growing chicks.  They went from little fuzzballs to this.   We moved them into the smaller coop a few weeks ago.

   Total of six,  some took after momma, some after their daddy.  (DH says one took after the milkman or was it the mailman?).

 Amazing that none are looking or acting like roosters.  Especially that one larger white chick that was being so pushy.  Anyways, none have crowed and a rooster chick should have by now (I think-LOL).

This part of today's journal..... is crappy.  I want to keep my journal light and happy, lots of  "fun stuff" to share and remember.  But, then there's reality, so here it is.  My doc said I have reached a "plateau" as far as how the fibromyalgia nerve pain will be.  My body cannot tolerate more drugs. She said I may never be able to ride my horses again (I do want so bad to prove her wrong on that).  I must reach an acceptance of what I cannot and can do.
That's it in a nutshell.
So, anyways..............
