I managed to fill the day, and I feel better.
 
I made cherry pie filling, so I can make a pie to take to my mom for her birthday.  mrMimi wasn't totally thrilled with this because he is very territorial about his cherries.
 
I started the project of sorting and re-folding and straightening up my fabric bins.  I have two of those big plastic boxes with covers just exploding with fabric.  My problem is, when I sew I tend to not clean up as I go along.  Therefore, along with the useable (or is it usable?) stuff, there is a pretty good amount of scraps and small bits and threads and just junk.  i clean them out every now and then, and I get to feel like it's Christmas when I find fabric I forgot I had.
 
I also finished two small quilts.  One for me and one for the cat.  She wasn't real keen on the idea when I showed it to her.  She hissed and growled at it, so I put it on the floor under the piano so she can make friends with it.  The idea is that she will learn to love sleeping on it instead of the sofa cushions.  LOL  I live in hope...
 
And I was accosted by a spider in my sewing room.  I didn't see it hiding on the bag of quilt batting I picked up, and it decided to take a stroll across my bosom.  I think not!  It was headed right for my tatoo!  Being fondled by an arachnid is not on my top ten list, so of course, I screamed like a girl, and totally freaked out.  <shudder>   I have no idea where it went when I brushed it off of me, but I hope it was thoroughly traumatized.
 
Good grief, it's four in the morning.   Nighty night.

    Hi you----I was awake at four in the morning also!  I had a bad dream and then watched a little tv to shake off the bad vibes.  Glad you are feeling better and had a busy day yesterday.  (I just saw and commented on your previous post)  Hope you feel much better and have yet another full day.

    see, this is good stuff! I am so happy that you created more of your beautiful quilts...what kind of cat has their own quilt? does she wear a tiara as well? that is great! Sorry the spider got to second base...how rude! You'd barely met??
    Have a great day Mimi and holler at me if you have time to chat....I will be in my basement...talka bout spiders...but the thing about selling a house is: people expect to see the whole damn thing! I'm like: its a house for cryin out loud, get outta my stuff! (Universe: j/k, bring it!)

    ewww spiders... hope you have a good night sleep!!!

    well geez MissMimi, I sure hope you screamed like a girl ;)  If you start screaming like anything or anyone else you let me know.  I think I would have hurt myself if I had seen a spider running across my bossom. 
     
    So your cat's insulted that you don't appreciate his/her gifts of hair on the sofa cushions?  The nerve of you!  Making him/her sleep on the kitty equivilant of a plastic bed sheet.  If I start sending you shed hair will you send me a quilt? (just teasing, your cats an ingrate)

    mimi- I hope you don't mind that I get a good laugh from so many of your mishappen adventures.

    Oh, and any courageous, self respecting cat would have come to your aid and dealt handily with that spider...what does he think he's there for, anyhow?

    hi Miss,
    You mave have traumatized the poor thing. 
    be careful. Where there's one, there's another.
    I'm glad your feeling better.  I like cherrie pie a la mode'.
    Yum Yum.... 
    On a serious note, I'm glad that we can all write down our feelings here. And, have caring people to help us from going through that depression thing again.
    Take care

    This one put a smile on my face.  That poor, poor spider.  He probably didn't even realize that he was walking on a real live boob, and he got a slap in the face anyway without experiencing any of the joy.
  • lionesss said on Aug 29, 2008....

    I'm glad you had a better day, Mimi.  Any chance of posting pics of your kitty's quilt?

    Oh dear, arachnoleptic fits are not good, funny to watch, but not good to experience. Wow CW, that's kind of a personal request, not something I would ever have the courage to ask for, not that I wouldn't look of course. ;)
  • MissMimi said on Aug 29, 2008....
    wombie -- Oh, sorry about the bad dream.  I'm routinely up til four in the morning.  Not much on TV then, is there?
     
    Mamie -- yeah, she's pretty spoiled.  If I could get close enough to her to hang a little tiara off her little ears, I would do it.  :D
     
    queenie -- yes, ewww and eeeek!  spiders are vile.
     
    uni --this kitty kwilt is a lot nicer than a plastic sheet.  LOL  It's red and white, and the seams are even straight!  And... she was actually sleeping on it tonight.
     
    beyond -- this cat wouldn't spit on me if I was on fire.  She'd just bat the spider around and torment it.  Which is a pretty fun thought...  And by all means, laugh away.  I laugh at myself all the time.
     
    day2 -- There better not be more spiders!!  Yuck yuck yuck!  I'll have to ask mrMimi how the pie was.  I don't like cherry pie, but I'll be happy to eat the ice cream!
     
    Kruuey -- don't feel sorry for the spider.  He died with a smile on his face.  ;)
     
    lionesss -- LOL  mrMimi will only squish spiders I can't reach.  And he does it with his bare hand!  <shudder>  I have a big fat paperback book I call the "book of death."
     
    CDub -- Well, I tried to post a pic but the only one I have I took with the cell phone cam, and I can't figure out how to get it to Flickr.  I'll try to send it to you in an email.   It's about 18 inches square, and I made it out of left over red and white blocks that I had.
     
    Chudditch -- arachnolepsy?  LOL  And you have obviously been hanging around some naughty places...  It's not that kind of kitty!  Jeez...  LOL  Chuddy, you are bad bad bad...

    Mimi,

    CDub -- Success!  Let's see if it works.

    It's very plain.  I got to use up some of my collection of "what was I thinking?" fabric.  ;)
     
    Sorry it's so small.

    Glad kitty befriend the quilt.  Glad the spider didn't give you a love bite.
