I'm back...and tagged

I am now a Midwesterner! We arrived at our new home on Tuesday and the movers came with our stuff yesterday. The important stuff (quilting and computer supplies) have been unpacked.

Quilt Mommy has made my return to blogging easier by tagging me with a meme:

Five Things to Do Before I Die:
1. Return to NY to live - perhaps retire in the Adirondack mountains. I really miss snow.
2. Drive cross-country. See the gigantic ball of twine (and visit as many quilt shops as possible).
3. Learn a second language.
4. Conquer my fear of heights
5. Finish my UFOs - or at least make progress... :)

Five Things I Can Do:
1. Drive Standard transmission cars (but badly)
2. Roll my tongue
3. Handle snakes
4. Crack my index finger by just bending it
5. Laugh so hard I cry (and cry and cry)

Five Things I Cannot Do . . . Yet:
1. Dive underwater
2. Speak a second language
3. Stand on my head
4. Play a musical instrument
5. Tell the difference between a downy and hairy woodpecker

Five Things That Make a Man Attractive to me:
1 - 5. Being my DH


Five Celebrity Crushes:
Hmmm...
1. Daniel Craig
2. Brad Pitt
3. Rob Lowe (from West Wing days)
4. Daniel Craig, again
5. Daniel Craig, once more for good measure

I haven't been able to catch up on everyone's blogs yet, so if you'd like to be "tagged" please copy the meme and add your own answers!

Row Robin

I worked on a very fun row robin this weekend. The owner of the row asked that we just make blocks and not attach them, but I've laid them all out for you to see. She sent along some fabrics that were LOTS of fun to use - all black, white and bright pink. I used some stuff from my stash, but didn't have much wild and crazy fabric to add. Fortunately, working with the stuff she sent was so much fun. The black and white optical illusion stuff was my favorite.

These are my blocks:

And the whole thing so far...
