Ladybug's finished quilt. Just needs a wash and a plan to get it to her.
Yesterday I tackled these.
These are my quilt scraps stash. There are four of these bins and I decided to sort through them and get rid of the real scrappy bits and any material I knew I would not use. I cannot be trusted. I ended up with a very small kitchen garbage bag of stuff to get rid of. No one would be able to tell that I had purged a thing
See my pathetic little pile?? The bins are as full as ever. I did manage to empty a small basket of excess fabric. It fit into the bins and now I can use the basket as a place to keep material I am using on current projects while working on them. I wish now that I had taken the time to sort the material by colours. Sigh. I will got that another day, because its always smarter to do things twice that just once. Right???
I have two projects I am going to be working on. One is secret and the other is for KitKat. I got going on KitKat's yesterday. First a trip to the fabric store because four bins of material is not enough, must buy more.
Then I had to find the right blue to go with the grey in the middle. I had the blues but not the grey, hense the trip to the store. A text to the Banker to confirm my choice and some time later and things were starting to come together.
This little snowman runner is looking very good. She wants two of them and I have this one ready to quilt. I have the blanket stitching done and the button eyes sewed on. It was a fun way to spend a cold windy Saturday.
I did a little shopping in the house yesterday. I have a collection of the little baby vases that people pick when they sent flowers to new parents. I don't have many but they are in the green spare room, and I thought a shelf like this might be a good place to store them
This shelf is already in that same room. I would have to go and buy something. In the spirit of trying to make use of what I already have, I rooted around the house and I settled on this.
I bought this little shelf/stool thing thinking it would be good to display stuff at a craft sale. I just really liked it but never found a use for it. It works nicely for my baby vase display. I even have room to add a few more, a pink bootie at the very least. I have seen them in the shape of blocks and I would like a duck but I can\t remember seeing one of those. Maybe a teddy bear?? It will give me something to looks for. As of now I have the vases displayed, the shelf has a purpose and its off the kitchen floor. Not a bad deal if you ask me.
No yard work this weekend. My lawn did get mowed thanks to my neighbour. Yesterday was too windy and today I'm not up to it. So I am doing laundry and trying to get the kitchen organised. That kitchen is my nemesis. It and I have a constant battle.
Tomorrow I hope to swap out the head boards and do some cleaning upstairs. I have that little cabinet to empty out. I wish I could find a drawer pull for the new table. I think I have some but I have to find them. I cannot even find the pulls I took off the little cabinet when I bought it. They were around an making me crazy now they have disappeared. Thats the way we roll in this house.
Finally got my eyes tested this last week. Now I have to go and find myself some new glasses at long last. No more squinting at every thing. I hate picking out glasses. Its a hard thing to do when you can't see. The best thing is the Dr told me I have no diabetic damage in my eyes. I was sure that was starting to happen but he says not. I am so grateful for that you have no idea. He says I have nice health eyes for my age. Big worry off my mind.
Well I must go and deal with some laundry.
Toodles.
Linda
