sewing and cleaning. cleaning and sewing



The first thing I need to clean is the table and area by my chair. After looking at the picture that I just posted I can see that it's just a mess. But it's a comforting mess I guess because it always ends up looking like this. The quilt pictured is one that I made about 3-4 years ago for daughter #3. It was fun to make and she loves it and uses it. The quilt has been washed and washed and it gets softer and softer.

My hubby will be home late this afternoon so I'm excited!!! I'm going to clean a little at a time and then reward myself with sewing time. I finished all of the blocks in my DJ packet for July and I did the hand applique on one of the triangles yesterday, so today I'll put that triangle together and paper piece the other triangle and I'll be caught up, for now. I also put row K on the quilt. I really should start putting my triangles together as well so maybe I'll do that.

I've really been itchin to start a new project but have held off until I can carve out a bigger block of time to work on something. I've got several quilts on my mind to make. Plus I need to get back to my NI. Next year I'm going to make a promise to myself NOT to do anymore BOM's. I'll just finish with the ones that are started
(5, i think) and that doesn't include the DJ which finished in December.

Okay bye for now...I've got to go and water the pretty flowers (hubbies job when he's home) so they don't burn up as we've had over 100 degrees for several day and the weather forecast says it will go on for weeks. YUCK!
