Embarrassed!

While working in my sewing room trying to organize
projects, fat quarters, etc., for the coming year, I
debated about taking a picture and sharing just ONE
shelf filled with "To Do" projects.   Embarrassment
won out!  Figured if I embarrassed myself by sharing
what was there, it would make me more determined
to work on them.  So here goes.......


















Sadly, this does not include a number of stitcheries
hiding away in baskets and boxes.

As the year progresses I hope to be able to share
pictures of empty containers.  Of course, knowing
me they will fill up quickly with new projects that
I just couldn't resist---especially all the fun things
that are shared by very talented bloggers.

I am happy to report that I am working on two
snowmen projects:


















This delightful little guy is part of a snowman
mystery quilt from "My Girlfriends Quilt Shop."
Viewed the finished quilt on line today and I
can hardly wait to get this finished.








These cute hats will become a table runner.  Just
finished cutting out the pieces and couldn't resist
laying them on the background fabric to see how
they're going to look. The pattern is "Magical Top
Hats" from "Bags and Quilts, Too!"

Seems kind of strange working on snowmen when
the temperature outside is in the mid'40's and we
have no snow.

Guess I best get busy finishing the buttonholing
around my little snowman's hat.

Stay safe and be well,

Nola

  5. I had to laugh when I read your blog. I felt guilty about my shelf of to do projects. Now I don't feel so bad because I don't have nearly as many as you do. LOL Love your snowmen projects you are working on. Looking forward to seeing them when finished.

  6. You are so talented. I love the projects you have shared. I really like the snowmen, way cute.
    I loved your shelf with unfinished projects, at least you have them organized. I have a few that I haven't finished and I am pretty sure they will never be. I wish I had a creative side; but I do love reading and seeing picutes of your finished projects. I need to take up croching again.
    Blessings to you in the coming year.

  7. Hi Nola!

    Oh my goodness, please don't be embarrassed!! All I can say is that you at least work on your projects . . . look at all the cute things you have accomplished in the last year! And, I must say that your shelf looks wonderfully organized!

    Your snowman is so cute, and so is the table runner - maybe it will bring on the snow! I really like all these mild days, but I know that come Spring, we will wish we had some moisture... :0(

    Keep up the good work!

    Hugs,

  9. Nola, I have projects stacked up like that too. I haven't even been in the mood to work on anything since Christmas. This seems to be normal for me. I never get much done in Jan. I love your snowman and hat blocks. They are going to be cute.
