monday report

awoke sunday morning in a blue mood so rather than pull the covers over my head, started a mental gratitude list and got up to find some caffeine...LOL!  even though my family is healthy and safe, still have other concerns....what to do?  pull out the christmas fabric!

and before long this flimsy got to the halfway stage....so many pretty christmas fabrics to use, it was easy to find pairs for the trees....another list item nearly history....course then had to tidy up the sewing corner as today it's back to plaid triangles....


thought about getting a basket for these but really needed refolding to put back in the stash until the mood strikes to do the other 5 rows....there doesn't that look better? there are quite a few small pieces that'll get used up with the rest of the trees...after that a couple of ideas swirling around to use up most if not all...(she says hopefully...LOL!)


and the second row of the nordic christmas mini got finished also....


those red centers are half inch finished....yes HALF INCH!  this week's row is mini flying geese....really liking this little festive project.  

sunday morning's melancholy lifted despite lemons that tried to bog me down....what to do?  


make lemon poppy scones!  recipe calls for a glaze but prefer them on the savory side rather than sweet.....another week with a nearly empty to-do list, predict lots of sewing to happen...and maybe time to work on that scrapbook....

  1. You've got quite a pine forest, Grace! And I doubt that jumble of scraps stayed jumbled very long. The scones look yummy, and savory-lemon would be a nice taste difference.

  3. I like your Christmas trees! I have a couple of Christmas quilts going myself, a large one and a small one. Was wondering if you might give me a couple tips on how to get that bar with the tabs you have under your header. I tried to figure that out once before, no luck.
