How quickly times flies. Winter was hard for me this year
with all the snow and cold weather. It made it difficult
to get out and walk which I really missed. And now that
the weather is getting better, I have tendinitis in my foot
and because it is quite painful and tender, I don't walk
as much or as far. Very frustrating!
But, I guess one good thing has come from it...I'm
working on projects that need to be finished...which may
take me into the next century! Sadly, some of them I
no longer like, but will finish them and then decide what
to do as I hate to waste the money I've invested in them.
I've somewhat sorted them into categories from favorites
to least favorites and am working to complete them in
that order.
I now have three blocks of the Scandinavian Christmas
completed...one down to go and then I will need to
piece the blocks that surround them. Have decided to
make it smaller than what the pattern calls for as I
really don't have room to hang a large quilt and I
want this to be out where I can enjoy it come Christmas.
I had stitched this piece in December as I chose "Joy"
for my word this year and then filed it away. Finally
found it and framed it.
Remember Bunny Hill's Tisket A Tasket from a few years
ago? The blocks were in a folder with fabric and
embellishments. Some were finished, others needed the
embroidery work while others needed to have the
applique done. Just need to buttonhole around the
flowers on this one and then it will be done. Hopefully,
I will be able to finish them in the not too distant future!
to knitting dishcloths and have been making them
as gifts. They are a nice break from all the sewing!
Well, time to get back to my projects.
Welcome back. I hope you feel a lot better soon. All your projects are beautiful. Love knitted cloths x
ReplyDeleteLast time I sorted out my sewing corner, I gave away all the projects I didn't like anymore to Project Linus. That way I know the fabric and quilty bits are going to a good cause! :0)
ReplyDeleteI love all of your projects. I especially like the basket. Maybe after my mission you can teach me how to make the knitted cloths; that would be awesome. I loved these. Sending love and hugs your way dear friend!
ReplyDeleteHi Nola!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean!! It's sometimes hard to sit down write a post - I usually just wonder if it's something worth writing about. But then, I remember, that this is my journal, it's mine! Time does get away from us doesn't it?! I find that it takes way longer to do things than it used to take. I'm so sorry about you tendinitis, ouch! I know that those who walk a lot really miss it when they can't. I have been working on, odds and ends projects my self, but none as adorable as ours! I love the Scandinavian Christmas blocks, they are just so cute! And the "joy" needlework is so cute, what an appropriate word for you, you always seem so joyful! Your knitting is beautiful! I'm so glad someone has that knack, I like the knitted clothes better than the crochet clothes.
I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day, you so deserve it!!
Hugs,
Barb
