If You Can't Beat'em.....

 

....join'em. 

Since this showed up right outside my bedroom window just after 7 yesterday morning The Mister and I decided we might as well make some noise of our own. We got out the sander and both the vacuum and the shop vac and prepped the foyer stairs for painting while the trees crashed down around us. The saws were bad enough but that grinder going all day....ugh.

The AC guy did manage to find his way to the house through all the drama but the part he needs to fix the outside unit had to be ordered. Luckily, it was a fairly decent weather day for having the windows open...minus all the racket. 

In spite of it all I managed to get some Disappearing Nine Patch squares made and squared up. 

Daughter had asked for a small nautical themed quilt to put in her baby Grand's traveling backpack which is nautical themed. Missouri Star had just what I needed in a nice stack of 10 inch squares. I'm going to have a lot leftover so I'm seeing some nautical placemats in my future for next summer. I'm getting a lot of use out of the ones I recently made.
