Maniac Monday

After a hard week filled with sadness and tears happiness and laughter we are finally able to get back to our lives. I have been to quite a few funerals in my life and I just could not be too sad at this one. I was just so happy that her long battle with cancer was over and that she and the love of her life are reunited that I was more relieved than sad. Now the last extended families are on their way home today, the funeral food is mostly gone, the flowers are dying, and I am ready to get back to my life. I am spending the day with family and friends sewing up a storm. I need to get back to "normal". I can't wait to see what kind of trouble I can get into, ha ha ha ha ha!!


I redid my week 1 block for the Tetris QA. I really was not happy with the way it turned out. Here is the new layout and game card. I like it much better. There was some talk of continuing the game on up to the next game card so the orange square in the corner finishes on week 2.

Here is week two. As you can see on the bottom is the rest of the orange square. I love this idea. I am going to try not to get to fussy over the crossover pieces. I could drive myself crazy trying to make all the pieces fit better. 

Here is how my list stands and then my new list for August:
