Sleep Study and A Winner!


I'm not sure why they call a 'sleep study' a sleep study? Because there is very little sleeping involved in it. A real 'sleepover' would have been a lot more fun. I finally dozed off and this little voice announces from the ceiling - 'good morning, it's 5:00 a.m. and time to get up'.


Needless to say, I arrived home at 6:15 a.m. and went to bed for another 2 hours. ( I had to get some sleep before going to play Mahjong.) I felt like a walking zombie the rest of the day.


We went to D#1's for dinner Friday night - we had homemade pizza that was just plain excellent.

She makes a pizza crust in her bread maker that is just perfect. (Don't tell her especially, but she is a much better cook than I am - but boy can she make a mess in the kitchen! Maybe that's my problem - I am not messy enough in the kitchen.)

I won! I won! I won!

I just won a pattern in Carrie's latest giveaway. She is just one of the most generous people I know. Stop by her blog and tell her that I sent you. She is so talented. We met online through our blogs and then met up at a quilt show last spring. The pattern is called 'Twitterin' by Prim Point and combines quilting, applique, coloring (with crayons) and embroidery. I am so excited.

Thank you Carrie and Prim Point.

Hugs - Marie

We have a Winner!



Just as I was ready to post clue #2 to the Hummingbird Treasures First Give-Away, Carrie P. from A Passion for Applique left the correct answer in the comments.


The answer: Vincent Van Gogh's Vase of Irises (also known as Still Life of Irises).


Carrie, make sure I have your e-mail address so I can contact you about personalizing and monogramming your set of four large, dinner napkins.

Another reader actually guessed Van Gogh but incorrectly identified the painting as his famous Sunflower painting.

Here is the last photo taken just before the finishing touches were added to the vase.


Hugs to you all!
