Getting Things Done...

I've been busy working on some projects.
I'm very happy about that.
What I'm not happy about is that I 
neglected to take photos of everything
before I got them packaged up to mail.

It's not important enough to
open the packages and then
repackage the items.
It's just that I won't be
able to count (read show)
them in my year's work.

{sigh}

{grin}

Anyway.

Here are a few of the things I 
did remember to take photos of.

Baby sister Jill asked for 2 dozen kleenex cozies.
Here they are...
She must have a lot of friends
with runny noses.  Just sayin'.

Okay.  So now that it's after Christmas,
a new project is in the works.
(oh.  really?  you ask)  

Erin of why not sew? 
and I are having our
own little quiltalong.
We are each going to make an
aqua and orange quilt.
What a yummy color combination!

Speaking of orange...
did you hear that Pantone's 
color pick for 2012 is 
Tangerine Tango?
Yes, indeedy!

But, I digress.

Erin and I are using the 'Swoon' pattern, 

We LOVE this pattern.
Gotta tell ya, though...
it is definitely not
for the faint of heart.
It is both labor and time-intensive.
But, oh so beautiful.
Each block measures 24.5 inches. 
Here's my first block...

Did I say that I love this block?
I do.  
Did I say I am happy that I 
need to make only 8 more blocks?
I am.

I have a few more things
that need to be worked on.
Things with deadlines.
Things that I cannot show, yet.

It's been very nice to have 2 
three-day weekends in a row.
Back to work tomorrow.
But only for 4 days.

On the First Day...

I love 3 day weekends.
(Course, lately...every single day
has been like a weekend.)


At any rate.
Here's what I did today...
finished stitching block 8 
of the 'snow days' quilt...YAY!
I have just 6 more blocks to embroider
and then it will be time to start
piecing the fabric blocks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
It was a very quiet day,
until I heard a snapping/tearing sound...
oops!
The tree limb cracked...see it?
The end of it is resting on the sunroom roof.
We made a call to the landlord...
hopefully, it'll get taken care of very soon!

That's all I have.

Hope you're enjoying your 3 day weekend!
