Still relaxing

Nice quiet weekend. But then I knew it was going to be, where would I go?

I made this little donkey doll give to a friend of mine. She collects donkeys of all kinds and her apartment is full of donkey items. Such a sweet lady. I met her thru another friend of mine that runs a donkey rescue ranch, of which I am on the board of directors now. They have donkey of every size and breed and rehabilitate them and them find new homes for them. They also educate the public about donkeys. A great non profit organization.


This is another Turning Twenty Again quilt. I had some fat quarters in my stash that I thought would look great together. Such a simple quilt to put together and it's fun too.
Like I said a relaxing weekend. No place to go and no one to bother me.

Where am I?

So this was suppose to be my vacation to Michigan to join my sister for a little quilt retreat. So why am I home??? Why did my vacation get cancelled???
Long story, and really not worth going over again.
It got canceled, long and short of it. Bummer!
So here I sit, thinking where am I? What should I be doing? What was I planning on doing on my retreat?
Its friday afternoon, and I am about to leave the office for home. I have this whole weekend to figure out what to do.
It has been really hard lately to get myself going after work to get any sewing done. I have been doing hand work late into the evening so at least I am doing something. The vacation was going to be with all the girls doing their different things but all of us together. And I had some things packed to work on. But I have no energy to work on it by myself.
So what to do, what to do. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
Hopefully there will be some pics later this weekend so you can see what I did finally accomplish.

Must be lazy

I am really feeling lazy these days. Just can't get going with anything.
Here I go again starting and stoping projects. I have been coming home from work and doing nothing. Absolutly nothing.
Just can't get motivated.
Next week I leave for Michigan do pick up my sis and travel to lower Michigan for a quilt retreat with her sister in law. So there is lots of packing to do.
The plans are right now to get some of that done this weekend. But given my mood lately, I doublt that will get done till the last minute. I have this whole weekend free, no where to go and nothing to do. So you would think I would be excited about working on some project or two. Nope............not sure what gives but I am sure I can get myself out of this funk soon.

It's been awile

I know, I know.......I've been busy! Not will sewing either.
So here is the Turning Twenty again quilt I made useing all homespuns. I just love it!

So quick and easy to do I am already planning out my next one. I have the back done for this quilt and it will go with me to green bay next month to be long armed along with the black and cream lap quilt that I have deceided to give to my boss for his birthday in July.
I have a donkey stuff animal that I want to put together for a friend of mine that collects anything donkey. But need to get motivated. Can you believe that? Me having to get motivated to sew...........wow that surprises even me!
Just a laid back weekend and I am using it to putter on some of my embroider hand work and cleaning up my sewing room.
I am sure something will happen today, just what I am not sure. It's still early on sunday morning and you never know.
