Because I write like I talk…only better, with some editing !
Waaay back in the before times of 2023, I signed up for/purchased a block of the month quilt from stitched in color and had every intention (ha!) of making a block each month. How hard could that be? Of course the best laid plans of quilters always intercept life and I didn’t pick up the bulk of the sewing until this fall…my new goal is to complete the top by the time we go to our neighborhood New Years Eve gathering…one set of blocks left to make…can she do it?
Aaaand go!
Still working on my #positivitiesquilt These blocks are part of Julys instructions (yes I’m aware it’s December). My goal is to finish by the end of the year.
I’m particularly happy with these points as this kind of detail is not always my strong suit!
Can’t wait to see it finished.
What are you working on for the end of the year?
Happy 2023 friends!! We had a great football watch/ NY Eve neighborhood party last night. So much football yay!!
One thing I try to do the first day of the New Year is to sew/knit/craft something, even if it’s just for a few minutes. I feel like it sets the making tone for the year. Yesterday I managed to cut out three tops from stash fabric. Today I am hoping to cut out two more tops and a pair of joggers. I do not have a very deep garment fabric stash. This year I’d like to sew down most of the stash (which in truth has been completely randomly purchased.) and going forward purchase fabric a bit more seasonally.
So here is to a new Georgian calendar year 😆 and more making in 2023!
What are your creative plans for this year??
Hello friends! Hello poor neglected blog… I was determined to post again before the end of 2022. I was also determined to finish this particular layout before the end of the year… I have done very little memory keeping this year… something that I have on my plan to remedy in 2023! So without further ado… my one digital layout from 2022:
How cute is this little chick!! Such a brave little thing, I can’t imagine how giant we must seem to a little tiny chick!
Happy Crafting my friends!
Hello 2022… now that it’s almost MARCH here in New England, of course we are having a snowstorm. But it’s comforting to know that we still have snow here even though the planet is warming to alarming degrees. Hello friends, how did 2021 treat you? As we head into YEAR 3 of a global pandemic I have to say that 2021 was on the whole far better than 2020 but still not fabulous. Anyone else feel like they are the very definition of “languishing”? And who ever thought that would actually be a thing?! Well onward and upward for 2022. Fingers crossed we all survive pandemic and war to ring in 2023.
2021 had girls back at college, a tiny bit of travel, Homecoming at SU after missing a year, a big trip to Ireland, client work, more getting together with friends, and not as much crafting as I would have liked but more than I thought I had done at the end of the day.
The one constant in 2021??? Dogs and Sticks…
More posts to come on various projects and goings-ons…who says wrap up posts can only be posted in the first week of January! Off to go shovel snow… stay cozy my friends !
