What UFO's ?????

Ok, so I am sitting here on a saturday afternoon thinking to myself. I got all my chores done for the weekend and now it is time to enjoy some sewing time. Wonder what project I should start this weekend? And that's when I stopped myself and said "Hey what about those projects that just aren't quite finished? Well I know alot of you probably have more UFO's than me. I try not to leave a project unfinished. But some do slip by. So the black and white quilt got the binding sewed on and is completly done. The pink baby quilt has it's binding sewed on and is completly done. And the wizard of oz quilt has the binding sewed on and almost done. I am taking a break right now between the hand work to put this on my blog. Oh and yes, I did manage to get material all cut out for my next project, "Turning Twenty....Again" But I promised myself that the binding work on this oz quilt will be done first before I do anymore work on this new project. How's that for a Saturday??? Oh yeah, did I mention the lawn got raked and the house cleaned???? Well, yes of course it's done!!!!!!!!!!!!

Long Weekend

What a long weekend! I guess because it was so quiet, no interruptions, and nothing but sewing to do that made it long. Not even a phone call to interrupt me. I made the third tote out of my stash of material from the strip tote pattern. They really are adicting. Three done for now, and The pattern put away for now. Don't you love these colors??? And for easter, I made my two granddaughter sun dresses to put in their easter baskets. Just a fun sundress pattern with a little smocking and some ribbons for the ties. And sunday was just that lazy kind of day that you sit in front of the tv mindlessly watching what ever is on while you finish tieing a quilt. The black and white quilt is now ready to have the binding put on. Not much else, just a rainy cold day that you just sit inside and do nothing.........

April Fool's!!!

Yes, this is a cruel joke. The weather men are all predicting rain mix with snow for today. I just keep hoping that someone comes back on the news and says "April fool's!" But no such luck. It is dreary and very cloudy. Very cold too. You can actually feel it in the air. Ick! Plans were to be out and about this weekend, but windshield wiper on car is broken so if it rains or snows, I guess I stay home. Not a big deal, lots of sewing to do. Working on easter dresses for the grand daughters right now, just about finished. Then on to one of many projects in the stash.
