Weekly Goals and To-Do Tuesday #83

I’ll be linking up with To-Do Tuesday which is now hosted by Linda from Texas Quilt Gal! I’m looking forward to seeing what everyone else is working on or have finished.

This week was another of daily power outages, rain and grey, gloomy skies and then for 2 glorious days; snow! It really lifted my spirits to see how bright, clean and pretty everything looked. I was also busy with projects and Quilting Days at my Guild.

Here in our Province, highways are still closed, towns are still evacuated and so many homes are still flooded from the “once in 500 year rainfall and flooding.” The recovery of the people, vehicles and bodies in the mudslides has been completed with one person still unaccounted for. Heartbreakingly 4 people died when their vehicles were swept off the road by the mudslides. It could have been so much worse with over 300 people being stranded, but Search and Rescue responded so quickly, and then our Armed Forces Personnel were called in to assist with search and recovery actions.

Last To-Do list:

1. Continue with my scrappy leader/ender project. Some progress.

2. Keep sewing my pieces for my EPP projects. No Progress.

3. Get the interfacing on the tshirt pieces and start making the blocks for the memory quilt. No progress.

4. Try to get another batch of goodies made to donate to the Christmas Hamper bin. 27 down, at least nine more to go. Finished my 36th project; knitted slippers that were then felted in the washing machine.

5. Spend some time 2 days this week sorting through the donations my Guild received for our annual fundraiser. 2 days done. 20 more (at least) to go before our fundraiser in April.

6. Get together with Lori, Brenda and Barbara to build and install the new shelves in our new storage shed. Done and boxes of priced goodies for our fundraiser are starting to fill the shelves. 😄

7. Host my quilting group at the Guild. With our Covid Protocols we are now in 2 groups, Thursday and Saturday. Done and so much fun!

8. Start preparing for another trip to the studio to spend some quality time with my longarm. Everything is organized; now I just need to sort out when I can go. 🤔

9. Do not let Sam or any other squirrels distract me this week. 🐿 Success! I wasn’t sidetracked by any squirrels. 😉

This week’s goals:

Here is my updated list of goals for this week:

1. Continue with my scrappy leader/ender project.

2. Keep sewing my pieces for my EPP projects.

3. Get the interfacing on the tshirt pieces and start making the blocks for Shawn’s memory quilt(s). Apparently I have another box of tshirts coming in the mail this week.

4. Finish my project and blog post for the next blog hop.

5. Concentrate on designing some quilts for the people who have lost their homes to the horrific floods and mudslides our Province is now experiencing with the atmospheric river dumping so much rain on some areas that had been affected by the wildfires earlier this year.

6. Try to get away to the studio for a few days to get some quilts finished on my longarm.

7. Do not let Sam or any other squirrels distract me this week. 🐿😳🐿
