It's Demi Day!

Demi and I got to have a couple of days together. She is such a cutie! our first day together we went to see Eclispe! it was pretty good. the acting is getting better!

our next day I promised Demi I would take her to get her hair colored. here is her before. she wanted dark on top and blonde underneath. well, she has been playing with hair coloring. apparently, home dyeing and salon dyeing don't play well together. so she couldn't do exactly what she wanted.
so before her appointment we went to Jason's Deli - Yum! Demi had her Ceaser Salad - her fav ! she said it was one of the best ones she has ever had!

Me? a Reuben, one of my favs! I could only eat half of the half! it was really big and GOOD!

Then off to the salon! while Demi was getting her tranformation, I decided to get a pedicure! Oh my heaven!

here is the first photo of Demi. she had dark on top and reddish brown underneath. can you tell the difference? it really did look nice.......

can't really see much in this photo, but she was very happy.

Thanks Demi for staying with me. hope you had a good time! love you sweetie!!!

Appilque Club!

Friday was Applique club down at the shop. All of these ladies are soooo talented. Robin helped me with my points. I think I might be getting it! Yeah!!! This is..... Oh my gosh, now I can't remember her name! I am soooo sorry.... this quilt is reverse applique and it's only 2 pieces of fabric. it is just beautiful. she hand appliqued it and now she is starting to hand quilt it. Her work is just beautiful!!!! This is Mary. and her pattern is from a piecemakers. up close it is wonderful! little tiny stitches......

This quilt is from the book Rosie the riveter. it's all paper pieced. no applique. Arlene you are forgiven. it is fabulous!!!!!

Darlene has a prize to give out, and I won!!!! it was a scissor holder with Jeanna Kimball needles and thread! Thank you Darlene! I loved it! sorry no pic!

Demi had 4 teeth out on Friday and her dentist is just around the corner from the shop. so Jenn brought Demi to me when they were all done. I took Demi to Wendy's for a frosty. (no straws, just a spoon) then home we went. She watched Twilight, had some soup and fell asleep. She slept for several hours. Then in the car to take her home. we just happened to drive by Jumba Juice so we had to stop.... After I dropped off Demi, I went looking for the goodwill by the apartment. Found it. didn't find what I was looking for, but found 2 6 foot paper holder, storage thingies. I didn't need them, but called Melissa and she wanted them. both cost $15.98 total!!! great deal. so then I went to Ikea to kill some time cuz I was going to pick up Melissa from work to take her home. I managed to find a few good things! LOL!

Glen and Melissa were sweet to invite me for dinner - and Lee too! so we all went to Outback! Yummy!!!! it was a very nice day.......
