MM and OMG

 MM is for monthly mini....

this is a close up so it looks big but it's really small...at 14x20 not as mini as some but it used up my mini charms and that was the original goal....

OMG is for one monthly goal....linking up with elm street quilts to report my finish...

the gazillion dargate indigo baskets are all basted and tucked away in their to-go pouch for easy travel....plus the other two monthly goals are done--blues and bricks and guild's top--which you've seen before....and what else is going on?

quaker pumpkin is done and ready for autumn...hoping i'll be living somewhere that i can decorate and be homey where locked doors are respected and other tenants have some semblance of courtesy for others....for now everything non-essential is living in boxes so stuff doesn't walk off or get mysteriously broken somehow.  with just joy on the fritz, that's the 2nd sewing machine and yet another electronic thing with problems.  in the past year or so have replaced many....the old viking, the paper shredder, my phone, my cd player, computer and mouse, a box fan, iron....seems excessive to me.

and then there's this....

just 5 or 6 more houses to make but wanted to sew up some trees....changed design in midstream so need about 20 or so of these....my math is always dodgy but i think it's now workable....

another blistering hot day altho not as bad as some places....small pity party monday has dissipated....car issues, hip issues, money issues, logistics of doing basic things and serious cabin fever all precipitants...thankful for good books that allow me to run away and refuel until i am once again able to be out and about....soon, since final PT eval on thursday.  back to fitness friday (if car permits) and a holiday weekend with fun planned....

  4. the mini looks great.....maybe thats what I could do with a mini charm pack that I have........
    Pity parties are essential when required.......so long as you get over it within a day or two.......I always feel much better after.........goodluck with the final physio.....

  8. Your mini is so pretty! I think I know that block pattern as "friendship star". Your little baskets are the perfect thing for travel. Love your colorful houses and trees! Hope you catch a break in the weather soon.

  9. Your star mini is adorable. Have always loved that block.
    I am so impressed that you have all those basket blocks ready to go. Going to be a beautiful quilt.
    The pumpkin is beautiful!
    Is there hope for a move soon? I know you've been wanting it for a long time. Is there something promising on the horizon?
    Such colorful, happy houses. It would always be a beautiful day in that neighborhood!
