To Do Tuesday
Another week starting with more snow! I just keep reminding myself spring is coming! I realized that with the onset of Covid Brain, I hadn’t written many/any posts or managed to concentrate on anything so I decided to spend some time talking with old friends, reading (don’t ask me what I read. I deleted theContinueContinue reading “To Do Tuesday”
April OMG
April is starting slowly for me. The Covid 19 self isolating and social distancing is having a bit of an effect on me. I pick up things to work on and then put them down, only to pick up something else. DH told me to shop for fabric and gave me a budget. I lookedContinueContinue reading “April OMG”
March OMG and my Favourite Finish
My list for March was a very moderate one for me.

March 22-28 Progress Report
It’s been a week! The emotions are erratic and I have been unsettled and disorganized. I’m sure you all can identify with these feelings. I’m telling myself it is a form of cabin fever.

March 15-21 Progress Report
It’s been quite a week of fabric fun. I’ve decided that keeping busy while DH shifts back and forth between Canadian news and American news for 6 – 10 hours a day will make me crazy if I don’t find ways to tune it out. My first finish was piecing the flimsy for my projectContinueContinue reading “March 15-21 Progress Report”

March 15 -21 Progress and Goals
To say it’s been an interesting week is putting it mildly.

Just a reminder that through the stress and anxiety, we all need to remain calm,ContinueContinue reading “March 15 -21 Progress and Goals”
