Stash Report

I have had a busy weekend and I finished another project except for tacking down the binding which I will do tonight while I have watching the Olympics. Of course, it is not my Olympic Project. I have finished my Kid's Komfort quilt and it is made entirely from my stash. 2.5" strips for the front and the binding and 5" strips for the back.

Here is my stash report for this week. Check out what is happening at Judy L's to see how everyone else is doing with their stash busting.

It's Friday!!

All week long the weatherman in my town has been ranting about the white death that is coming on Friday. I woke to find sleet on my driveway and that weather conditions got worse as you drove north. Guess who was going north? You get the picture. I got dressed grabbed my stuff and our the door I went on trek north to work. The further north I got the sleet stopped and it was replaced by rain. I am thinking I like rain a lot better than sleet and it gave me chance to try out my new wiper blades and they worked awesome.

The weatherman has teased us with accumulating snow of 5-7 inches overnight. It really needs to get busy outside. I am thinking it will need to get colder so the sleet can change over to snow. I am glad that I do not have to go out again until Monday morning, but I am concerned that my mom has to drive in this mess in the morning.

I need to practice with my camera and figure out how to get the flash shut off. The pictures of the snow {what little there is} did not turn out.

Saturday will be for sewing. I need to make doll clothes for two babies and doll quilts for those babies. I am thinking the doll quilts will be the most fun. And the JK Project and Kid's Komfort.

Looking for the weekend

Today is Thursday and I know that the weekend is just around the corner. We are supposed to have snow tomorrow and Saturday. "Accumulating snow", is the newest term around here. And it also gets the weatherman off the hook. Anything over a dusting is accumulating. It is going to snow tomorrow and it will accumulate. There I could be a weatherman but then I would have to give up quilting. Nah!

I did some hand quilting during our slow times at work. It is a piece that I found in a box here in the sewing room. I have no idea what I am going to do with it once it is done. But just getting it done will be an accomplishment.

This weekend activities include laundry, dishes, making chili, finishing the 3 blocks I need for Kid's Komfort quilt, and working on the JK Project. But now I am off to bed so I can get up early to make the journey to work in the "accumulating snow".

Hump Day

White death is coming again to my corner of Ohio. Friday night into Saturday. Yipee for me not leaving the house. Not so good for my mom who leaves early Saturday morning to go to work. At least at 5:30 in the morning there will not be much traffic out on the roads. I am not running to the store to make a killing on milk and bread. I think I have everything to make a big pot of crockpot chili and some biscuits.

Got pulled off the phones to do faxes at work. It was steady all day and gives me a break from the phones. Wonder what tomorrow will bring?

Got the oil changed after work and they replaced my wiper blades. Good thing with all the bad weather coming my way I need to be able to see while I am driving. I was able to cook in the kitchen again tonight. That makes two nights in a row. I am slowly getting over the bat incident. I have turned off most of the lights and still sleep with the television on my bedroom but I did that before the bat incident.

This weekend I plan to finish up my current prompt on the JK Project, finish piecing the Kid's Komfort baby quilt and hope to get it quilted. As always, there is laundry and dishes and perhaps shoveling snow. I hope to get a few snow shots with my camera.

It's Tuesday

It has been slow at work again today. I got some quilting done while waiting for phone calls. I would much rather be busy than slow.

I cooked dinner tonight. That does not sound like a big accomplishment but for me it is. A week ago Monday I had an issue with a bat in my kitchen. I prevailed over the bat but I am a little gun shy about cooking in my kitchen. I have finally been able to turn off most the lights at night. But the cooking thing really bothered me and I adore cooking.

I am hoping to get some work done on the JK Project this weekend. I want to draw another prompt out of the bag. It is starting to get exciting. I also want to get my current Kid's Komfort quilt finished. I have 27 out of the 30 blocks pieced and I want to get it layered and quilted and bound. The binding will be done at my small quilt group when we meet next Tuesday.
