Burst of energy

This morning as my alarm goes off to get up for work, I couldn't get my mind off those blocks I worked on over the weekend.  One paticular block had me thinking.  I really didn't like the way it turned out at all!  So I went straight to the sewing room and found it and took it apart.  Then I took the other blocks and sewed them together in a row.  Now I have another row done and one row that is short one block.
But it is farther along!

Unbelievable what you can do in a short amount of time.  And yes I did manage to get out the door on time for work.

Fizzled Out!

Ok so I fizzled out!  Only three blocks done today.

This is one row put together.  Ready to attach to the other two rows that are done.  Big disappointment.

But, I did get grocery shopping done, and the outside work done.  Just too tired and lazy to do anymore and it is only 4:45pm.  Oh well, there is always the week nights.

Progress Report

I got my 14 blocks done for the day and it is now 6pm.  Taking a break before I sit and do hand work for the night.  So if I get my 14 blocks done tomorrow that's 42 blocks and four rows.  And then I can say I am half way done with the quilt.  Wow this is taking longer than I thought but I will prevail.

It is extremely hot outside today.  Record breaking heat they say.  Good thing I stayed inside by the fans.  Still, I am sure all those campers are having a great time toothis weekend.

Lucky Me! another pajamma weekend.........

Lucky me!  I have another rare occasion.  A pajama weekend.  And a long one too.

I manage to get 14 blocks done for the hobo quilt, that is better than one row.  And I already have two rows done,,,,,,,,so let's see., that means I have 90 more blocks to go....

Oh geeze!  that didn't sound good. :(

Well two more days to my weekend, and I am going to try to get 14 blocks done a day and that will be a good chunk of this quilt.

The donkey quilt came back from the quilter's last week, and I finished the binding and delievered it in time for my friend's birthday.  He was just stunned!  Always happy to put a smile on someone's face with a handmade quilt.

A couple hours before bed time and I think it is time to get some hand work done.

Grandma Weekend

Well it's done.  Actually done for quite awhile.  Just been so long since I could get a chance to blog.  But little Emma is so proud to be wearing to school.

This weeked was my babysitting weekend.  And those grandchildren sure make me feel old in more ways than one.  I can't keep up anymore.

Just a quick note before I finish the binding on this donkey quilt for my friend Ed.  I am planning on seeing him for his birthday dinner on tuesday night and want to make sure he has it for his birthday.  Just a couple more stictches and the label goes on and ta da!

Other than that no sewing this weekend, not when grandma is kept so busy.

End of a sewing sunday

 Well after finishing the last of the boy's four pj's  I was able to finish up on my little bugs dresses.  They wwere all ready cut out and ready to sew together.  And these t-shirt dresses work up fast.

This purple one is for emma, and grandma is tired.  So it will have to wait till tomorrow night to finish. But it is all cut out and ready to go.

And I did manage to get the binding sewed on to the Hungry Hungry Caterpiller quilt.  So that is officially done.  I think I will just spend the evening in front of the tv doing some hand work.  My neck is getting stiff sitting here by this sewing machine for anymore of this tonight.

Pajama Day!!!

Not my pajama Day.  I am making summer pj's for the boys.  Here are two pairs for my little Nickolas.  He asked grandma for trains.



Still working on two more pairs for Ivan and then a couple of dresses for the girls.  Everything is cut out and waiting to get sewed together.

Errands to run this weekend, but between errands I have time to sit down to sewing for a few hours.  Hopefully I can get Ivan's pj's done today.

Thursday I took the day off of work to go to Nancy's Notions Diamond and Pearls Anniversary.  What wonderful sales and vendors.  I spent too much as usual.  And now I have more projects and material to add to my stash.  I better get sewing.
