We had a wonderful Christmas--lots of family, food and fun. I didn't take any pictures. I borrowed one Jen took, so I wasn't totally photoless--and it looks fuzzy. I'm exhausted. Lots of late nights just hanging out as a family again. The girls are back to their jobs and homes. DH and I spent yesterday recuperating. lol Today we made a business trip and DH bought a snowblower for the tractor. We had snow last week and are expecting more tomorrow. The snowblower will make it easier to get around the hay yard and clean the calves' yards. It will also help keep the road to the highway clear. I really hope we don't get that much, but now DH is prepared for the worst.
Now that the girls are gone I can get all my sewing stuff out again. So many quilts, so little time. I should have January and February to sew. I really need to get projects out and get organized to finish some things. Of course, all the new BOMs will start in January and I haven't finished any BOMs from last year. I need to catch up on Raggedy Ann & Friends. What to do next? I need to do borders for one Pinwheel quilt, sash the Jelly Roll blocks, make 3 more Pinwheel blocks in the purple/green colors and practice my Free Motion Quilting. There are some Snowbound blocks to make and quite a few blocks to embroider for a variety of projects. Oh my, but I can't resist starting the new BOMs.
The first BOM is from a German blog, All About My Quiltshop Kaleidoskop. There is a translator gadget on the right side.
I love hearts. This is such a pretty design. I'm going to do this BOM or at least save the patterns.
Little Miss Shabby is starting a BOM in January called Birdie Stitches. Of course I can't resist this BOM either. What's a blogging quilter to do? So many cute BOMs and so little time. : (
There is going to be a Blog Hop with Valentine Designs. I bet there will be some give aways too. It's good to get started thinking about Valentine themed projects now. You know how I love those blog hops. : ) I put the button on the right side.
Do you struggle with all the wonderful things there are to do online? I'm not going to let it overwhelm me. I'm just going to enjoy working on whatever I am working on whenever I have time to work on it. This is suppose to be fun--right?


Oh dear what to do--what to do??? You are not helping me to stick to my "plan" on the bom's!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have seen the miss shabby one and am waiting on that yet??? I just looked up the heart one--that is also very tempting as I also love hearts!!
and I have seen the Valentine hop and would like to do that one toooooo!!!!
but do you have any idea how many bom from the last two years that need some type of finishing??
me neither--but tomorrow or Friday I will know--gotta take some pictures for a couple UFO challenges I am in to try to help me get some of them finished!!!! Well--a girl can "hope"!!!
Hugs, di and miss gracie
It sounds like you have your next two months planned, and then some!
ReplyDeleteYou find adorable BOM to participate in and the Valentine hop looks like great fun too.
Good to hear DH is prepared for whatever snow comes your way. Better prepared than caught unaware.
Happy New Year, Janet, to you and yours.
OMGoodness Janet you sound like me. Just don't know what to start or should we finish things first????? I will check out the BOM you have found or maybe not.LOL
ReplyDeleteLove your new header picture.
