Where I've been

So, where have I been this week? I've been held hostage - er, I mean on jury duty. There was hostage - er, jury selection on Monday. We were told to plan on Thursday and Friday so I spent Tuesday and Wednesday trying to get caught up on laundry, pay bills, change appointments, etc. The only good things I can say are that it is over, it only took one day and because I was selected this time, I don't have to go back week after next. (I got two summons in the same week - I was NOT happy) And, thankfully, the major migraine didn't hit until after I got home. It was the closest I have been to giving in to that nasty nose spray (YUCK)in a long time but I made it w/o having to use it. Whew

Now that we are done with that nasty business - here is what I did in the evenings while I was watching people make fools of themselves - otherwise known as American Idol tryouts. Yes, I am addicted. I just can't help myself. The lengths to which some people will go just to get themselves on television! (and here I have been known to take the long way around when I come upon a tv camera in public for whatever reason!) Whatever floats your boat.

Anyway, I put the bindings on these place mats. I didn't have enough of any one fabric for the bindings, so I did two each of three different fabrics. Yes, they are Christmas but I didn't finish them for Christmas - actually, I didn't start them until after Christmas but now they are ready to wash and use so I will just consider myself really early instead of slightly late.

Off to finish playing catch up.

Hope you have a great weekend.
