Stash Report Week 19

My new shift is kicking my butt. I am trying to get more than 4.5 hours of sleep at a time. Needless to say there is not much sewing going on around here. It is very early Monday morning and I am trying to stay awake to keep on my new schedule. I am thinking it is time to sew scraps together. I need to stay away from the rotary cutter.

We spent Mother's Day at my sister's. We had a lovely brunch and then we were going to watch a movie on her DVD. Not the best idea. We could get the DVD player on put never could figure out how to play the movie, but we were able to see all the previews and advertisements but not the movie. I am no better than her. I brought the movie home with me {it was mine} and it is in my DVD player and I cannot figure it out. I am going to bring it the DVD player in the basement and hope for better results.

So far so good

I have finished my first overnight shift and so far so good. I went right to bed after my shift and slept for almost 5 hours. I got up and did a few things around the house and then back to bed. I have just finished getting some yard work done and enjoying the last bit of sunshine for today. I am going to do a bit of sewing before I get ready for my shift tonight.

This is Neil and my mom, they were my yard work helpers last year. Sadly, tonight it was me and the Reds on the radio!

A few things

Here are a few things I have finished in the last few weeks.



 Yet another quilt for Kid's Komfort. I am not even making a dent in my stash. But I am plugging along just the same.

 This is my sister's new dress. I finished it just before Easter and she looks so pretty in it!



This is a washed out picture of the tablecloth I quilted for my sister in law. I have a second one to do for her and I am hoping to finish it some time this month.


And a picture showing that we are finally greening up in Ohio. It still is not as warm as I would like, but I am sure that will change soon!

Updates

So many things have happened in the last several weeks. I have done a bit of sewing, I have worked on my Grandmother's Flower Garden, and started some seeds for my yard. I am preparing my house for some very special guests. My son, daughter in law, grand baby and grand dog are coming for a visit. They are coming in June and leaving the Elly and Frankie with me while they take a little trip. I am so excited!!

My new shift starts later tonight. I am going from day time hours to working third shift. I will start at 11pm and end at 7:30am. Monday thru Friday. I am trying to stay up tonight so I can sleep tomorrow. It is going to take some getting used to, but I think I am going to like working third shift.

Stash Report, Week 18

It has been another non sewing week for me. I should take that back, I have been sewing just not finishing anything. I have cut fabric for more baby quilts, but have not finished any. I am staying away from any place that might tempt me with fabric. I did not post my numbers last week as nothing has changed.
