Not So Much...

I haven't been around, lately.  Not so much going on.  I am having a bit of a problem...don't worry...everything is okay.  Just overwhelmed with trying to stay caught up at work (one person new/training and one person who only does half of what she should be doing...and then there is me...trying to do my job plus the overflow in 30 hours weekly.  Yeah.)  I am finding that when I am stressed, my tinnitus increases in volume and makes me very anxious...it then interferes with my sleep.  Not good.  At all.  But, it will get better.  Count on it.

In addition to not blogging much, I haven't accomplished (read finished) much, either.  

I did manage to do this block for my hand-pieced quiltalong.  Erin asked for a suggestion...I love pinwheels, so this is what we got to piece this week!  YAY!

 

Here are my blocks all together.  This pinwheel block was Block 11, but I opted out of two blocks...I think I am going to go with just these 9.  Unsure at this time whether or not I'll add sashing. 

I wanted desperately needed a no-stress weekend, so I took a break from my list.  You know the one...with a bazillion things to do on it.  Yeah.  No list weekend!  

So, today I've been knitting...just to try out this pattern.  Easy Mistake Stitch Scarf.  It's a basic knit2, purl2, but there are an odd number of stitches, so that makes it work out differently than if there were an even number of stitches.  The yarn I used is an acrylic that was sent by me Mum and Aunt/Godmother.  Practice yarn.  As the pattern says, 'Mistake Stitch creates a very deep and lofty rib'.  It is truly scrumptious.  

Mowed the dog yard.

Watched a movie..."Tower Heist".  It was okay and had some good comedy in it.

 

Now for some more relaxing. 

Tomorrow is Easter Sunday.  Nothing happening here.  What do you have going on?

Snow Days...Block 9!

I haven't said much about the 'snow days'

quilt or blocks, lately.

I suppose that is because

I have been somewhat neglecting them.

But, I did manage to finish block 9!

YAY!

Only 5 more left!

I cheated...

I did not want to trace out block 10

cuz it's a bigger block,

so I traced block 11 and am

currently working on that one.

{grin}

I'm thinking it's my quilt,

so I can do the blocks in

the order I want.

Right?

So.

Here is block 9... 

 I'm working on a baby quilt for a coworker.

Here's what I have thus far...

It's a cold and blustery day with no sun.

I think that calls for some hot apple cider...

if only I had some.

Perhaps hot chocolate would work just as well.
