Farewell . . . !

This has been an exciting year of blogging. I did it! I completed a whole year. There were some days I missed, and then caught up again. I have to mark this off as a COMPLETE win for me.

Almost Done!

I worked on my rainbow mini quilt yesterday. I quilted it and now I have to bury the threads and add the border. I'm so glad and then I want to make several things to send to my partner. I am going to make her daughter something too.

I Missed It! 012715

Yesterday was suppose to be my 364th day of blogging and I had one more day left. Of course I forgot to write that entry in my blog, so now I'm doing it. I have to still write one last blog entry tomorrow.

Blizzard . . .

The weather forecast wasn't a happy one. They have predicted a blizzard heading our way. Things won't be back to normal until Wednesday, that's when everything should be cleared out. I'm spending my time competing the rainbow mini quilt. So far I've paper pieced all four blocks and sewn it them together; that was done this weekend, and today I've added the borders. I referred back to the late night quilters video on adding perfect borders. It works! Now I have to decide whether or not to add another border with color before I sandwich it together. I'm going to decide all of this tomorrow. good night for now!

COMPLETE

That's my one word challenge for this year 2015. I'm going to strive for completion. I have to clean up all of my works in progress. It's important for me to make a conscious effort and make it happen. I have one more day and then I'm finish with this blog. I have to say I did complete this goal of mine. I know I missed a couple of entries, but I made sure I blogged more than once when I missed a day.

One Word Challenge

My word for the year is COMPLETE. I have to start completing things that I have started.There are four more days left and I've completed my 365 days.

Break Time!

I went to an art exhibit tonight with some friends. It was good to get out and be with my quilt buddies. Charles came over and stayed with my sister for a couple of hours. I really needed the change.

Stitchin' Seniors

Tonight was my night to quilt with the seniors. I really enjoy working with them. They were very agitated tonight, but in the end everything was resolved.

Starting . . .

It's time! I've procrastinated enough. I have to start my mini quilt and my inspiration quilt. Thankful they are both no larger than twenty-four inches.

Missed it! 012015

I was so caught up yesterday with small errands and my grandson WP1 that I missed my quilting session.

A Trip to Jo-Ann's

I am going to take a trip to one of my favorite stores. I need to get some glue sticks, and fusible fleece.

The Gathering

Today was one of teacup gatherings. I really enjoy being with the group. I didn't take my sewing machine but I took somethings to work on. I just needed the time alone and not with my sister. It was me time. The Christmas stocking swap was a great idea. We have several challenges to work on and I have to look for a tote bag tutorial for the group for next Christmas or I should say " for the holidays."  Friends, food, and fellowship!

Tired . . .

I had a full day. The food pantry went well. I was able to print the programs for tomorrow. I have to start updating the new applications for the 2015 year. My body is a little tired. I am aching all over. I'm going to go to bed a little earlier tonight.
I forgot to blog last night. 011615

Taking is slow . . .

I am moving life a slug. I have many things to do but this is my day to take my time and smell the roses.

IPad Mini Case

I made KZ1 an IPad mini case for his new IPad mini. I finally used the spiderman fabric that I had. I washed it and quilted it. I also added a handle; not bad for the first time. I am going to make WP2 one for his birthday too. I guess I'll have to make three in all.

Continue the quest . . .

I'm on a roll or at least I think I heading in the right direction. I have a few errands to run and then I'm going to come back and begin again.

Almost there . . .

I'm almost finished with the knitting needle holder. Then I have several other small crafts to complete.

Completing the task . . .

I'm going to finish the holder today. I want to make some items to give to the other quilters. I have a job ahead of me.

Working . .. 011015

I started working on my knitting needle holder. I have to quilt the front and back and then put it all together.

Getting Ready! 010915

I started reading the instructions for my knitting needle holder. I wrote down all of the measurements.

A Few Days Left

I am procrastinating too much. I know what I have to do and yet I'm stalling. What is wrong with me!?

Let Go . . .

I'm going to make several gifts for my friends and I only have a week to complete all twenty. I want to make heat pads, zippered pouches, and needle holders. I'm going to go forward.

Thankful! 010615

Yesterday was a busy day for me, and a tiring day for my mom. She had two doctor appointments, an ultra sound and x-rays all in one day. The weather was snowy and very cold, but by God's grace we did it. He gave her the strength to complete the task. I know she wanted to give up after the early morning wake-up. I was able to get a little rest and still make my quilt groupo. I really enjoy quilting and seeing my friends. It's my time!

Keep on trucking . . .

Two down and three more to go.

Moving along . . . 010415

I'm getting back on track. I worked on my reversible box bag and a small zippered pouch. I have to start my mini quilt. I have a couple of ideas.

In my head . . .

I know what I want to do but I'm not moving towards the mark. I've decided to make a bag to hold her yarn and a knitting needle holder. I am also going to make a heat pad and several small box holders. I have several thoughts in my head but I haven't made it happen. Lord help me!

Start again!

I made a list of items that I want to make for Josie. Now I have to get started.

Happy 2015!

Here I go moving forward into another year. I can't believe it's two thousand twelve already. William is thirty-six years old today. My sons are getting older and I'm so proud of all three of them. They have become wonderful loving husbands, fathers, and most of all men. I thank God for there growth and direction.
