Trip to the Surgeon

 Yesterday's big adventure was the trip to Columbia to see about the cyst on my left thumb.  I was totally hoping they would just do the job and remove it while I was there (I managed to get the remaining peaches peeled and in the freezer before we left just in case), but I knew that would most likely not be the case.  If I didn't come back for another appointment, how would they be able to charge me again?  I do think I effectively conveyed my annoyance with the cyst and strong desire to be rid of it, so I was able to get on the list for surgery on Aug. 9th.  (If I hadn't seemed so particularly annoyed, it was looking like another month before getting a surgery scheduled.)

I used the time in the car and the waiting room to work on bindings.  (My time is just as valuable as anyone's, so I never worry about leaving little threads through the waiting room and office as I work on something while they make me wait.)

So here are my finishes for the day.............

This is the table topper/runner that I taught at our July guild meeting.  I was wanting to get it finished for show and tell.

And below is the skunk quilt, aka Love Stinks!

Yes there is a twinkle in the eye!  And some custom quilting on the skunks.  This is such a cute quilt.  It was the last thing I needed to finish for the state fair.

And here is the mountain of things I entered in the state fair.............

I am going to have to spend a little time tagging, folding, and packing things up.  We'll see how long that mountain stands.
