This week I didn't progress as much as I would have liked, but I do love what I was able to accomplish.  The main issue I'm having is finding the time to sew. It's not normally a complicated issue, but for the next few months the circumstances are stacked against me....

It's my birthday today!! I had great aspirations of writing this early so all I would have to do is post it today, but life has a funny way of throwing a wrench into perfectly reasonable plans. My birthday is the one day a year that I can do whatever I want and not...

What a fantastic way to end this week! I finished the LAST block for my BOM quilt!! I almost didn't make it. Finding time to sew this week required me to sacrifice some time with my husband, but I really wanted to get them done  so that I could finally start...

I needed two hundred and fifty-six half square triangles cut out in order to complete the sixteen sashings needed for my BOM quilt. I started working on these sashings back in April or May but I couldn't finish them all in one sitting because I didn't have enough...

This week was productive but I still feel like I've barely made a dent in what I need to do to be able to finish my BOM quilt. It doesn't seem like much until I list it. When I started the week I still needed to cut the panels and borders, finish five grey sashings,...

This week was pretty slow work wise, as I knew it would be. On the bright side I had a wonderful Christmas. It was great to have two days to just unplug from all of my responsibilities and just enjoy my time with my family. I didn't let myself think about unpacking my...

This week was moving week. My entire house was packed up, loaded onto a truck, and unloaded into a completely different house within a three day period of time. It's been crazy, and I haven't gotten any sewing done this past week. I don't even know where my sewing...

This week was slow, but I knew that it would be...just like next week will be. This move preparation is killing me. It's amazing how much stuff you have to get accomplished even when you have someone else coming to pack up your house for you. My time for sewing is...

Preparing for a move, adjusting and planning for a new assignment at church, finishing up Christmas gifts that need to be in the mail by the end of next week, having my 3 year old wake up in vomit multiple days this week and who insisted on mommy snuggles because he...
