I’m trying to break down my monthly goals to weekly ones to allot time for the bigger projects and still have time for any projects that pop up. My first project is to work on Mosaic Mystery. It’s been hanging around and getting pushed back on the list by other projects. I need to getContinueContinue reading “Weekly Goals”
Mosaic Mystery Update
This morning we had to go to Nelson for DH’s doctor’s appointments. Normally a 50 minute drive. We have severe storm warnings out so it took me an hour and a half to get there. After the appointment we stopped for prescriptions and groceries. The trip home took me just over 1 3/4 hours. ItContinueContinue reading “Mosaic Mystery Update”
Wonderful Wednesday
Temperatures here are still below freezing and a nasty cold wind is blowing, but it’s still snowing. The forecast for the next two weeks is more snow but the temperatures will be rising on the weekend. Sounds like a really good reason to stay in and sew to me. That’s just what I did today.ContinueContinue reading “Wonderful Wednesday”

December OMG

I did manage to turn theses sweet piles of cut fabrics in to a finished top: Blue and cream beauty! ItContinueContinue reading “November OMG”

Time to start a new list for the final quarter of 2019. This quarter will be a tough one. Next week I get to start taking my sling off to do some gentle exercise on my shoulder.
