Quiet Week

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.  

~Dr. Seuss

This has been a very quiet week for me.  No shopping or meetings in the evenings.  I've been able to get in a lot of sewing and stitching.  Now next week will be the complete opposite.  I have something going on 4 evenings and a full day next Saturday.  Luckily we have only a couple of errands to run this weekend so there will be time to charge the batteries.  How has your week been?  Will you have a quiet weekend like me?

LITTLE FACT OF THE DAY

Crab

Watching a crab skitter across the sand at the beach is so much more fun than watching a spider climb my wall.  And they make such a wonderful meal!  Here are some interesting facts about crabs:

* A crab is a decapod (meaning having 'ten limbs') which has eyes on short stalks and a broad flattened carapace (a hard protective covering of bone or chitin) with a small abdomen folded under the thorax and pincers

* Soft-shelled crabs are blue crabs that have recently cast their shells

* About one-quarter of the crab's weight is meat

* The Crab typically walks sideways

* Average crabs live no longer than 3 years.

* The crab's scientific name is Callinectes sapidus which means "beautiful swimmer"

* If a crab loses its claw, the claw will grow back

* The teeth of the crab are in its stomach.

* The biggest crab till date was found in Maryland. It was a male and measured 9 inches

* The most colorful crab in the world is probably the Sally Lightfoot Crab. It has red, orange, yellow and white colors.

MORE DANCING

I continue to work on Dancing With The Stars.  I have made another Lambada block and then added....

This block is called Viennese Waltz.  I'm still lovin' FFP!

WOCS

Last week I sent in another completed cross stitch block to WOCS.  

They are creating a quilt with a beach theme.  These flip flops worked up quickly and were easy to work on in the car.
