To Do Tuesday #16

https://www.texasquiltgal.com/p/to-do-tuesday.html

Hello Everyone! Can you believe it is July already?! Wow that is fast. Summer just began and here we are in the middle already. Today people are here cleaning my solar panels and my windows. Unfortunately they left the door open and so far I have only seen 2 of my 3 cats. But if they are in hiding, it could be a while before I know if someone escaped before I closed the door. Luckily this is their normal naptime.

I will be linking up with Texas Quilt Gal for this week’s To Do Tuesday. See above for link

To Do Tuesday #15

Welcome Back! I just got back from a vacation to Washington state which included camping at Olympic National Park on Lake Crescent. I am getting too old to be sleeping on the ground and being such a long ways from the bathroom. It’s amazing how inconvenient it is to have to go potty multiple times during the night. Luckily my tent mates were too tired to hear me zipping in and out of the tent multiple times during the night. LOL!

To Do Tuesday #13

Wow! Where did the week go! I had a lot of distractions this week so only a few things done even with my all day sewing on Friday. I don’t know about you, but any progress makes me happy.

To Do Tuesday #12

Happy Tuesday everyone! Hope you have had a great week. Here is San Jose it has been nippy for May. I had a nice Mother’s Day with my son Steven. He took me to dinner and a movie.

Happy mail arrived today – my Alison Glass fabric! Whoohoo!

To Do Tuesday #11

This week has flown by. I feel like I got a ton done. My list doesn’t seem to reflect my feelings. LOL! Probably because I have been working on some of my larger WIPs. I’m definitely on a feel good cloud!

On top of all of that, I decided to participate in an unofficial WIP challenge with one of my Instagram quilty friends @flyinggoosestudio (Jocelyn). She is challenging herself (and anyone who wants to jump in) to spend the next 50 days (May 1 – June 20th) working only on WIPs. No new starts.

To Do Tuesday #9

Whew!  Went to post on April 5th and the website was not working.  I tried a few things but needed to get ready for my vacation in Hawaii.  Finally today, I found the right number and the right person and we seem to be back in business baby! 

Honestly, I didn’t do a lot since I was in Seattle April 1st – 4th and Hawaii April 11th – 18th.  I took stuff with me, but we were having way to much fun.  I hope to post a travel post soon.

I saw there was two fabric stores in Kauai and I made it to one and purchased border and backing for two future Hawaiian quilts whose charm packs I picked up 4 years ago in Maui.

To Do Tuesday #8

How has your week been? Mine has been fairly productive. I worked on everything from last week’s list except one thing and even finished a lot. Feeling good. Last Friday was my Quilting Zoom Day with quilty friends. It was awesome and so motivating. Sometimes I wish we did it more often than once a month.

My orange kitties have been very helpful this week. Sitting on projects while I try to sew. Stealing my thread spools and pins. Even running around with thread and needles and scaring the crap out of me. Even now Simba is petting me while I am attempting to type. He has already walked across the keyboard multiple times. He is such a sweety when he is feeling helpful.
