wednesday report

avoided all mention of football on sunday and only heard the dreaded T word once.  after church services, spent the day with miss phoebe and solids sewing.  there was, however, pizza!  

though i live near a gazillion pizza places, low salt means i still have to make my own, but it is good.  no pepperoni but hey, cardiac nurse says nobody should eat it! 

 

so what got sewn? this is now a flimsy...

more strippy blocks....

aside from a smallish pile on the desk for more strippy blocks, this is the current state of the elfa drawer....

so pretty good progress on busting the solids scraps....after finishing the current blocks, calling it quits for now.  

and on monday, more mini 9-patches got sewn...

oh yeah, it's valentine's day....a hallmark holiday as my ex used to say...but then, he was no valentine anyway...LOL!  i don't know much about Hallmark love, but i do know the love my Savior has for me, my family's love and vice versa--more than enough for my life.  

no football here...

and at all costs avoiding hearing the T word as well...i'm saturated with all things football...a big waste of money but then my priorities are way different than the NFL.  sewing happening here of course!  more than a hobby it is a solace, a happy place, a sanctuary,  a creative outlet and more.  

had a pattern paper lying on the table so decided to make it....

and this...

and these...

the elfa drawer is about 1/3 empty as of today.  continuing quilting on s'mores too, and half my cats have their sunglasses appliqued, so on target with that project.  and tomorrow is mini 9-patch monday!

it's coming time to go thru the stash shelves again for tidying, pull out pieces that are destined for the scrap basket and take stock.  do this 2-3x per year to see how my stashbusting is progressing.  

not much new here on the western shore....more PT this week, other usual tasks.  it's sprinter here--half spring days, half winter days, AKA the blah season.  as i told someone recently, retirement is boring after having worked interesting jobs.  becoming adept on 'the price is right' was never on my bucket list....lol!  still thankful and blessed tho and hope you are too.
