March 15 -21 Progress and Goals
To say it’s been an interesting week is putting it mildly. I’m not sure if any of you have experienced any of the hysteria based behaviour, but it is fully in force here in the Kootenay region of British Columbia. Just a reminder that through the stress and anxiety, we all need to remain calm,ContinueContinue reading “March 15 -21 Progress and Goals”
I Love Thursday
I love the fact that after 2 days of snow, the sun is shining today and we have pretty blue skies. Wednesday morning 6:00 am view before the snowfall increased. On Wednesday DH had an appointment with a surgeon so we had to go to town. On the way home the car hit some deepContinueContinue reading “I Love Thursday”
March 8 – 14 Progress Report and Goals

Joining Some More Hops
Now that I can see and sew, I decided to let a couple of squirrels take over my sewing space. I joined the Quilt Qwazy Queens Hop again this year because the theme just makes me smile.

Project Quilting 11.4 Birds in the Air
The new challenge was posted on Sunday and somehow I missed it. Luckily another blogger mentioned it in one of her posts.

This hasn’t been the most productive month I have had, but my vision in one eye is fantastic and my right eye gets operated on in a week and a half so I’m content.

One of my last projects in my need to get organized this year is my stash. I am still on my self imposed fabric diet so I am only allowing myself to purchase fabric for a specific project or some much needed neutrals for backgrounds. I am starting the year with 200 yards in theContinueContinue reading “Stash and Time Reports”
