making a list

no not THAT list...the list for this....

once again, ten things to move forward, finish or tackle for 2025.  this worked well for me this year and hoping for the same result next.  i have started the list but want to take photos...visual prompts are good!

working steadily on the sewing gift--almost done--plus doing some fun things and watching some holiday specials on TV and youtube.  itching to move on to other things but the gift is a priority of course.

last week at the senior center a large tote was sorted and a couple of things came home with me...


a small neutral that looks like a marsha mccloskey and a yard of a nice jo morton repro...they've been washed and added to the stash.  and was delegated a charity project--baby quilts for the local hospital's stork unit....

not enough squares for 2 quilts so making just one, each baby block alternating with hourglass blocks..good quick project for after Christmas.  

some rough teary spots have popped up with Christmas memories but it's all part of the journey...in addition to my grief, others have suffered sorrowful events that brought tears...and then there's stuff like this...

a tear jerker for sure...thinking next year i might like to take a trip somewhere totally different to record new holiday memories...

  1. That's so true about Moms being the center of Christmas. I've tried to cut back this year but I can tell my youngest isn't happy about it. He wants things to go on the same way. I've thought about my mother so much this season, Maybe it's because of your loss, but she really made Christmas special.

  3. Great job on the plans for next year. I need to do something like that myself since one of the blog hops I've been participating in has come to an end.

  4. I agree that this was a great challenge during 2024 and also am playing with lists for next year. It’s so hard to decide what to prioritise, without it having a deadline. Lovely fabrics that found their way to your place.
