I worked Wednesday and Thursday 6:30 - 6:30 and Friday and Saturday 11:30 - 11:30. Then I was on call Sunday, 2nd call so I thought I might not have to go in. No such luck. 7 hours of overtime, then I did an extra 6 hours on Monday. Just when I'm thinking I never want to see the inside of the hospital again, I get 2 calls today to do overtime. One on my current floor, and one on my old floor. No! 6 days in a row is enough already! I am done.
Somehow my job always gets in the way of crafting! In good news, I mailed off one of my swaps, and did 2 - 2 page spreads during the 6 days of chaos. I plan to do something tonight. maybe some scrapbooking? Or I just might play with my new SU toys. So many choices....
A la prochaine

Finally found!
I have been looking for a pair of wall scones for the living room.......for months.
Here it is....with the lovely etched glass shade. ......
It you say!
Yes, there is a pair however when hanging the second one the metal back broke so disappointingly it has to go back , thank goodness I called the store immediately to report the problem and I have the last one waiting for me when I make the hour long trip back to the city..
Disappointment seems to be a theme this week...

Pretty Flower but.............
This spring I found a variegated leaf morning glory, Cameo Elegance at the local nursery..Could not pass it up . It was about 4 to 5 inches high, a healthy plant.....
I eagerly looked forward to it climbing up my metal arbour imagining the lovely pink and white flowers blending beautifully with the red cardinal vine I planted on the opposite side.
So...........here in the middle of July;
while it is still a very healthy plant, it has grown only about 2 feet high
the blossoms disappointingly small , maybe an inch to 1 1/2 inches wide.
Yes, it is pretty and the leaves interesting...
But I was expecting a more vigorous morning glory..... Having since done some research I have found this named variety described as a good plant for hanging baskets and I think this is the right use for it; because it is so attractive I will use it for hangers next year. For the more vigorous look I want I have found a morning glory named Tie Dye that from the description sounds fabulous, large 6 inch blooms of blue and white, the plant itself growing 8 feet tall.....
Isn't that just like a gardener, always next year...........
