cold winter days foster daydreams about warmth and surf...hoping i can get there this summer or early fall some time...i do have salt water in my veins....definitely my happy place...
planned to get both quilts basted in january but due to a batting issue, only one. even so, january wasn't a total washout....did some frankenbatting and now have one for wildest dreams, so that's the weekend project--close enough
- finished waterfall UFO
- basted scrappy DWR
- 'mathemagical' top
- finished stitchery 'sleigh bells'
- 2 christmas placemats and a hot pad
- lap robe top and baby quilt for senior center projects
- basted and quilting 'detour to oz'
- 'love bug' flimsy
- put away christmas, revamped living/storage space
- all quilted items moved to closet shelf
- cooked for freezer
- exercised regularly
- read 2 books
- only one routine medical visit
this is the baby face panel top made for the senior center...another quilter chose the backing and quilted it, then bound by me...isn't it adorable? can't you just imagine some new mom wrapping her precious in it? i can....
started another little cross stitch stuffie...this is 'winter saltbox' by pinker n punkin designer...she has free patterns for a series of saltbox littles....remind me of new england...
this came up on instagram and choked me up....the other day for one fleeting nanosecond i thought i would call her, then caught myself...she was my only confidante and BFF...

ReplyDeleteJanuary was anything but a washout. You achieved so much. It sounds like everything is ship shape for the coming year. Have fun in February.

ReplyDeleteLovely cross stitch and baby face finish. Those emotional moments that pop up must be hard. Take care of yourself.
