Quiltathon





I had such high intentions with the Quiltathon but I seem to have fallen flat on my face. I spent Friday night and most of Saturday babysitting for niece and nephew. We had a blast but I got very little sewing done. Here we they are making homemade pizza for dinner. Of course, we had to go to plan B the Golden Arches, as I burned the pizza. In my defense, I was cooking in my sister's oven and I was not used to it. I also burned a pan of sugar cookies on Saturday. I brought some hand piecing along to work on if the kids entertained themeselves. They did finally went in the bedroom to play and I was able to get this much done. I will be getting up early on Sunday and hope to get much more done. Check out Judy L's blog to see what others are getting done.

Hump day

It's Wednesday!!! I did not get to the sewing machine tonight. I spend most of the evening on line with a friend from work who is having a tough time. I have almost finshed the scarf I have been crocheting this week. When I finish the scarf I will start hand piecing my next quilt. I am going to do most of it on my machine but it will be easy to start by hand and I like hand piecing.

Tomorrow I have to start packing for my overnight at my sister's house. I am staying with her kids while she and her hubby go to Pennsylvania for a wedding. We will be making Oobleck, pancakes, and pizza from scratch. And cookies from a kit I have in the freezer at work. And ice cream which is always fun. And we need to do a craft of some sort.

I am hoping to spend the rest of the weekend at home sewing. I want to finish this quilt that is still in the early stages. My creative juices have finally started flowing and that is good thing. I thought they were going to be stuck forever.

In stitches,
