Sunday Summary #150

Once again the last couple of weeks had me not meeting my goals, but it has been a crazy, interesting couple of weeks. Two weeks ago Monday I had a Board Meeting for the Golf Course. Tuesday was a town trip for DH’s meds. Wednesday I had the experience of working a Referendum Voting Poll for the approval of financing for a new Fire Truck. We had the station set up in the local Fire Hall (with no functioning heat🥶). I was there from 7:30 am until 8:30 pm. My poor staff were bundled in blankets and I put a quilt over their table with a space heater underneath to try to keep their feet warm. On Thursday I had to get DH in to town by 9:00 to keep our appointments for Flu and Covid vaccines. Then you guessed it! Between the vaccines and being chilled I wound up in bed all day Friday and over the weekend found myself napping quite often. 😴

The good news is that I did manage to sew on three of the days and have been making some progress. My WIP that was a commission last year and came back to get more length added on has it’s binding attached and I will try to get it hand stitched down on our referendum day (Saturday, December 1) and I can admit to looking forward to being able to snuggle with a lap full of quilt to keep me warm. There is a possibility of the heat having been fixed, but I’m not taking chances. 😉

Last week had me not feeling up to snuff and I ended it on Saturday at the fire Hall again for the final voting day. Again we had no real heat but it was a bit better. The good news is that winter has finally arrived here in my part of the world and I can once again enjoy my winter wonderland just as December begins. 😁

Now it’s time to see how I did with my list:

My Last To-Do Goals:

1. Keep working on my EPP, embroidery and leader/ender projects as time and my foot/ankle allow. No progress 😢

2. Keep working on my Dresden blocks now that I have a plan. No Progress 😢

3. Get caught up with the Rainbow Neighbourhood QAL hosted by Sandra Walker from MMM Quilts. I’d love to get this one done. No progress 😢

4. Allow myself to keep playing on a couple of projects from the boxes of treasures I received from Denise as my leader/ender projects. No progress 😢

5. Start planning projects for two upcoming blog hops:Start planning projects for two upcoming blog hops: We have some progress! 😁

6. Finish my pattern test! Done and ready to share tomorrow!

7. Do not let Samantha or any of her squirrel buddies side track me. I’ll keep this list minimal until I get organized and caught up.🐿🐿🐿🐿

Stash Report

I like to link with Donna @ QuiltPaintCreate to keep track of fabric in and out of my stash.

• Fabric Used: 4 yards
• Fabric Purchased this week: 0 yards
• Fabric Previous Balance: 26 yards
• Fabric Purchased this year: 3 yards
• Balance in stash to use this year: 22 yards

* my goal is to lessen my stash by 100 yards this year. I haven’t managed to actually figure out how much fabric I really have in my stash, but I have reduced my stash these past few years and really only purchase fabric if I need it for a particular project. If I do purchase fabric I add it to my Balance in stash to use this year in order to continue reducing my stash. 😉

* any fabric used from the scrap bins, was gifted or a prize; doesn’t count as stash!
