Oh, how time does fly! I haven't posted since August! My only real excuse is I just didn't take the time! I do manage to keep quite busy with my sewing, quilting and designing and sometimes there are days when I don't do anything more on the computer than check my email. To be truthful, I delete most of that without even reading it! I swear I'm on every online quilt magazine, fabric shop,online catalog and embroidery design website ~ well, you get the picture! It just gets overwhelming sometimes!
I have managed to do some clearing out of stuff I've had in storage. The local Goodwill shops were the largest beneficiaries! I have condensed everything into just ONE storage unit. I have repacked all of my overflow of fabrics into plastic tubs, numbered them and done an inventory. I found things I forgot I had and some things I've been looking for! I found finished quilt tops, with backing stored neatly in bags waiting to be quilted! I also found a few (?) UFO's!! I found a whole bunch of finished quilts too!
My goal this year is to get my UFO's finished. I have them all bagged and tagged with what needs to be done to each. Some only need a border to be called RTQ - Ready to quilt!!
My good friend Sue gave me a class at Quilt University for a Christmas gift! WOW! That started last evening and I am so excited to get going! It is called "Design Your Perfect Purse" which is right up my alley! I love the idea designing and developing new ideas to create that unique purse.
As I sit here and type, I'm looking out the window to a slight blanket of snow that fell yesterday. This winter has been unique in that the temperatures have been all over the map! In the 40's one day and the 20's the next. Almost no snow so far! The pond is frozen over but the ice is still not thick enough for snowmobiles and wheelers! My honey is a fisherman and he is chomping at the bit to get his ice shack out so he can go fishing! He has a snowmobile but can't run it on the dirt in the driveway to get it down across the lawn to the pond - yes, I still see green grass peeking through the snow! I never thought I'd say this, but I'm hoping for a big, well not too big, snow storm soon! He has been in the house since November 1st! when he pulled his boat because we had a freak snowstorm on Halloween! Who knew that the temps in November would be in the 50's and 60's? Come to think of it, December was quite warm too! Soon the conditions will be right to get that shack out and him out of the house!
LOLOLOLOL!!!!
Time to get busy in the studio! I have a couple of commissioned purses to finish and deliver to the gals that ordered them! Today I shall complete them!
