This may be very random because that's how my mind works these days. First of all I got the top of my 52blocks52weeks quilt. I am not sure when its gonna get quilted but I have it done. Its bigger than I thought it was going to be but I am very pleased with the results.
Its not the best picture and I will get a better one at some point. When I took it I realized there are two blocks in the middle that are lacking some black in them. Well that sort of thing bothers me so I had to correct it. I am much happier with this now
I have so enjoyed this project. The next one is a quilt as you go row by row and I think I am going to take part in that one too.
What else? I spent some time on a Saturday purging out the pantry. I had things in there that were so old they had turned solid so out it went. It also went if I could not identify it, I was not gonna eat it if I had no idea what it was. Its a good rule I think.

Here we go with the before:
and the lovely after
Much better and I have a lot of empty container that I can use for food stuff that I may actually make use of. I am not going to be buying things that I think I will use but actually don't. Reduce, reuse, recycle is becoming more and more important in this house. I have learned how to use my own grocery bags when I use PC Express. I am getting better at using my own bags when I do other shopping. I am breaking my habit of using plastic bags for lots of things and if I do, I will use them for more than just one job.
Best Friend came for a visit this last weekend. It was a super short visit but we packed a lot into the brief time she was here. Good woman that she is she shoveled my sidewalk for me and hauled a ton of recycling out to the bin.
I have mentioned it many times but I have very good friends who are super kind to me. The weekend was spent talking, laughing, talking, giggling and then she had to go home. I am hoping that the next time she comes to visit she can stay a little longer.
The No Cook group had a games night at the Sailor's house. It was such fun. We ordered in pizza and played board games until it was very late. We are more like 12 year olds that grown women. Its the best thing in the world, to still be able to be silly. Life goes better with a sense of humor.
The Christmas things are put away, the trees are into the basement once again, thanks to the Banker. I am impressed with myself. Putting away is not my strong suit.
I have three quilt tops that I need to get quilted. One of them is a remake for The Nurse. Her aunty made the quilt for her and the back wore out so I am going to redo it for her. It means a lot to her so I am more than happy to make it up for her.
I have continued to work on scarves for donation and I am going to start to add toques to the donation mix as well. I have a fair amount of yarn that needs to be used up and this is a good way to do it. I am also making some baby blankets to be given as gifts. I have one done and another started. I will post pictures when they are finished. I doubt the recipients read this.
I want to start my applique quilt and there is a list a mile long of all the want to do's.
That is all I can think of for now. Hopefully its not so long before I post again
