To Do Tuesday #45

Hi Everyone! Can’t believe it has been a week already. Time flies when you are having fun! I am not even sure what I did this past week. Not much on the creative front. I have kind of lost my mojo, but I keep soldiering on knowing it will eventually return.

I will be linking up with Carol again this week.

Wrap Up

To help get my mojo back, I am going to try and spend 15 minutes every day doing something quilt related – sewing, cutting, planning, YouTube, stitching, etc. Anything to help me get through my current road block.

I found out this week that we will NOT be having a hockey tournament this month which relieves a lot of the pressure. I have such a build up of ready to go quilt tops, I am starting to feel antsy about finishing them. This is a good thing, because it means that action is soon to follow the restless feeling. It is a goal this month to quilt all of my APQ Resolution quilts and maybe (if I get on a roll) the other ones that are ready to quilt. First step is machine maintenance! Everything else is easy peasy after that.

The weather here in San Jose has been all over the place this past week. One day it was 88F. A few days later the high was 55F. Crazy stuff. It even rained today.

Thanks for stopping by. I send good vibes out in the universe that all of you make progress on your goals!

  2. Hi Peggy! I know your first picture is showing the wonderful stitching on your Spring hanging, but it sure reminds me of one of your kitty’s tails. It’s even the correct color! Your buttonhole stitching looks perfect and the thread matches so nicely. I have to agree with the meme. Distractions are everywhere. Good luck avoiding them and pursuing your list. {{Hugs}} ~smile~ Roseanne

    1. LOL! Roseanne. Looking at it, you are so right. Thanks for the complements on my Spring Wall hanging. I have learned over the years that the thread doesn’t have to be a perfect match in order to blend in nicely. Somewhere, I remember someone mentioned erring on the side of lighter. Have a great weekend
