To Do Tuesday #124

Whoo Hoo! I am finally back home. I love traveling as much as I love being home. For once, I actually slept better on the road then in my own bed. I wonder if that has anything to do with the mattress topper I had delivered to my daughters? 😝

I rolled up at my house Sunday night about 9:30 pm after spending the day driving from Vancouver, Washington to San Jose, California. I did a side trip in Salem, Oregon for a two hour shopping spree and a half hour lunch break when I filled up gas for less than $3/gallon. 🏆

To Do Tuesday #120

How is everyone this week? Hope you are all having a good November. Fall is finally really here in California. Rumor has it that we will be having significant storms this week. I forgot what they call them, but sounds crazy fun.

As usual, I will be linking up with Carol over at Quilt Schmilt in British Columbia for To Do Tuesday. I heard that they got slammed by winter storms this past week. Hopefully our northern friends are all doing well. See the link below to join us where we share our goals for the upcoming week and share what we did get done. People have some great projects. I get lots of inspiration from checking them out.

I had two Quilty Zoom days this week but was sick most of the week. If it wasn’t for the quilty days and me dragging my butt out of bed for that, I probably wouldn’t have gotten anything done. I am thrilled to be able to share with you what I did work on.

To Do Tuesday #109

Welcome back! Today will be toasty as we once again hit over 90F. The rest of the week is warming up. I am sure September will have a few more of those for us before it is all over and Fall settles in. It is amazing how different my perspective about the temp is in September versus July. 😝

Plan to link up with Carol over at Quilt Schmilt for To Do Tuesday. Come over and check it out!

To Do Tuesday #10

It’s been what I would consider a fairly productive week. While I did not quilt every day, I did little things on almost everything on my list as well as finish binding my Over & Under Quilt from 2017. I am a happy quilter!

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.
