SCG

I thought of you.....


This is heavy metal.... (which is why I though SCG)
but the words are "Christ is Risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and upon those in the tomb, bestowing life" but in Greek.

And the video.

I think they are going for lord of the rings, spinal tap, viking something.

Can't get the video box to work...but the link below works.


I will check this out tonight when I can have sound - BF is night shift all week and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't want to be woken up by this before 6.
 
I hope everyone had a nice Easter. We had a quiet Easter since we don't have any little ones staying right now. I spent the weekend finishing one quilt and starting a runner for my aunt. I am going down to Tennessee on Friday for my cousin's memorial. She passed away very unexpectedly two weeks ago of an aortic aneurysm. No one even knew she had one including her. This proves to me that if you love someone, tell them every chance you get. She and I weren't very close but we had reconnected through Facebook. For that I am grateful and I am looking forward to going down there to visit for a few days and see some of my relatives I haven't seen in years. Wish that the reason was a happier event. The table runner is a thank you gift for my aunt and uncle because they invited me to stay with them and save the cost of a hotel room.

Here is the quilt I finished


I am going to enter it in a small competition to see how well it does

Here is the table runner. I still need to quilt and bind it before Friday. Going to have to push myself to get it done on time.
 
I had totally broken down, and cleaned 1 of our 2 chandeliers last week. It was the dingiest of the two. You could tell it had been dusted, and sprayed with window cleaner to maintain it, but it had not really been taken apart, and thoroughly cleaned in quite some time. It took several hours, taking off all the crystal strands, cleaning them, and hanging them back up. When I got done it was beautiful, but made the other one look dingy. Yesterday, I started on the other one. While the second one looked like it would be easier, looks are deceiving. I'll get it finished up today. While the chandeliers are beautiful, and elegant looking, they're a LOT of work.

In the past few days, I've managed to empty 4 more boxes. I also got my big set of china (24 place settings) washed, and put up. I'm not setting the world on fire, but I'm slowly getting things done.

OH, something I lucked into.....We've been needing hoses, and good rubber ones are expensive. There was a 50 ft. Craftman Premium Rubber Hose here that was used for filling the pool. I really like that hose, so I wanted that type for the chicken coop, and a couple to replace the cheap, broken hoses that are here. I figured I would get 1 hose a month, until I got what we needed. I checked the Sears website yesterday, and it was on sale. They had knocked $15.00 off the regular price for the 50 ft. hose, and $25.00 off the 100 ft. hose. Dh got 3 - 100 ft. hoses, and the 50 ft. hose I wanted. While I didn't really want to spend that much all at once on hoses, we saved $90.00 off the regular price, so it was worth it.
