Placemats for Sylvie...

The placemat quilt swap 3 (PQS3) is over...both Sylvie and I received our mats from each other.  What a fun swap this was!

And now, for your viewing pleasure...the placemats I sent over to France.

I took today off, as well.  Need to finish up a few small projects and then straighten the house!  When I am in the midst of several projects as I have been these last several days, I don't make my bed, nor do I do the dishes.  Pull the covers up on the bed...rinse and stack the dishes.  That's all I do.  

Have a good day!

Mail from France!!!

I received my placemats from France today!  Sylvie and I were partners in the PQS3 (placemat quilt swap 3).  We agreed to make 2 placemats for each other.  oh. my. gosh.  I love them...they are just what I like...simple and understated.  Take a look...

 

I love this label. 


Didn't get anything else quilty or crafty done today.  Talked on the phone.  Watched the movie, 'Angels & Demons'.  Liked it a lot...course, with Tom Hanks starring and Ron Howard behind the camera, how could it go wrong?

Have a good night!  I know I will...DWTS and Castle are on.

FINISHED!

It doesn't quite matter what one starts, does it?  Isn't it all about what one finishes?

I don't really know the answer to that, but gosh, it sure seemed like a good lead-in to this post, which is all about what I finished this weekend.

Ready?  Here you go...

1.  Started & finished.  A reversible apron for Jesika (DIL)...she bought the fabric in January and has been waiting patiently.
2.  Started & finished.  Apron for Jasmine (granddaughter)...just because.

3.  Started & finished.  A kleenex cozy for a friend who loves dots.  I also made one for Sylvie in France...my placemat quilt swap partner.  (yeah, I know...no travel-size kleenex package in it.  Don't worry, there will be when I send them out.)

4.  Finished both placemats for my placemat quilt swap...I'll show them once I know they've arrived in France.  

5.  Finished reading the novel Blood Vines by Erica Spindler. 

6.  Started & finished.  Hemmed a pair of scrub pants for a coworker, but I didn't take a photo.  Cuz, you know...scrub pants.  If you've seen one pair, you've seen them all!  {grin}

7.  Started & finished.  Bathed Tag E. Butt. 
 
I think that's everything!  Well, besides the normal, everyday sort of things like fixing meals and taking showers and talking on the phone and doing dishes/laundry, etc., etc....you know.


And, for those of you who are wondering if the synvisc injection had any effect...I think that it did!  My knee doesn't hurt nearly as much as it has been.  I was told to not expect much until after the second injection, but it really does feel better.  So.  We shall see, hey?

Waiting for Inspiration...

I'm not quite sure what to do for the placemat quilt swap.
I have the fabric (may add a piece or two).
And, I have a thought.

While I'm waiting for inspiration, I'm working on this...
 
and this...
