Hello fellow blockers,

If any of you are ready to ship please let me know when you do so I can watch my mailbox, as I do not go get mail every day unless I am expecting something.
thanks

Hi,
We have 15 days to go. I would like to have the blocks and sort and ship by Friday the 25th. If anyone needs more time please let me know. I don't know where Sept went but it went fast. I lost a week some where and am still trying to find it.

I just have to finish up and send them. Problem is that with the news this morning I don't know if I'll be getting paid! At a meeting last night the non-profit I work for told us that if gov't shut down, homemaker problem wouldn't have funding. So I called this morning to see if I was still supposed to go to work and be paid. Now all of a sudden (as MY direct supervisor understood it last night) yes, I still report for work and there is funding to pay homemakers even though gov't did shut down! I can't work for free and feel like the company is having us work only to say 'Sorry, we didn't know then that we can't pay you for it now!' I don't think there will be any recourse for those of us trusting the company to not lead us on just for the work.....

I've got all of them cut out and 5 fully pieced. I've done the centers of the other 11, so I think I'm gonna make it on time! Had to laugh as I was brushing pine chips off the pieces - so glad this is a BYC swap as y'all understand the four quarantined chicks in the sewing room. Bought them at the Oregon Fall Poultry Swap last week. 4 weeks old. Loving the cheep cheep as I sew.

I envy you! I had set 5 silkie eggs, (started collecting eggs shortly before selling parents) 1 wasn't fertile and the other 4 hatched Monday 9/30. I have an outdoor brooder but dh commented on how cold it's been getting at night- 'Are you really gonna put em out there?' He was the reason the outdoor brooder was built!lol. The chicks currently reside in a makeshift brooder in my oldest daughter's room Sewing room is right next to dh's bedroom and the light/ peeping bother him. Not the rest of us!

Cknldy thats funny but my husband is the same they don't want us to think they are soft. I set 18 eggs of chicken mutts and my hen that hatched 3 chicks should be done with the brooder by the time I need it for these chicks. I leave the lid open and the chicks have an access door just big enough for them and she puts them to bed at night. I hope everything works out for you at work.

I still have to put together a couple of my blocks, have them cut out just need to sew them. Our church started a new youth program and I cook on Wednesday night so I have been busy helping with that. I love seeing the little children they can be so funny.

I have a bit of a piecing puzzle/nightmare going on. I set aside my 1/2 done stuff all in neat little piles so that when I got back to it I would know where I left off. Well my nice neat little piles were demolished by a "helpful" cat and husband!!!!!!! This is made even more complicated by the fact that I had pieced the left over triangles from the geese block into little 1/2 square triangle squares for future use.
