Return of the Spools


The spools have just been hanging out on the wall while I moved little bits of the gridded photo around until I got the quilt arranged just as I wanted it. Then I assembled the real life blocks into the new order. Then I thought...maybe I'll move this here and that there. And now its in a completely new arrangement. Looking at this photo I see even more stuff...like why is there a clump of purples down in the lower left corner?

And this is dangerous work. You may notice a cat toy down on the floor in front of the design wall. If you get too close to the design wall, especially the blocks near the floor, a paw from a wild beast may reach out to snag you. The cat toy is used for distraction.

Meanwhile, Molly took her first day trip to the vet for a dental cleaning...except that she flunked the prescreening blood work. She was so stressed out that her blood glucose readings were off. The trip is rescheduled but now every day around 8 am, Molly disappears to some hiding place. She only comes out when she realizes that I am too happy to take the opportunity to get stuff done without her supervision.

Rosie says, Yikes, I have to get dental cleaning in the future, and then she disappeared for a long while. The spools are daunting in number and presence even though they are little from what I can see- only one eye working after cataract/glaucoma surgery last week.

Maybe if you schedule Molly's appointment for a different time of the day, she might will be out supervising thinking it is safe for another day. Of course, that will only work once.
As for the spool quilt, I congratulate you on being able to keep your eyes focused on it.

The cat toy is clearly bait for the trap.
And I salute you for being able to see the blocks clearly enough to evaluate position. My eyes are spinning and I'm only looking at an image on a monitor...
