To Do Tuesday #41

The week just seemed to fly by. We had another atmospheric river storm that started today along with high winds. Thursday was a race ahead of the last storm to Southern California while Sunday was a beautiful day in So Cal, we drove into another storm here in San Jose. Lots and lots of rain this spring. The reservoirs I drove past were starting to hit capacity so I am keeping my fingers crossed that it helps with the drought we have been in.

To Do Tuesday #40

We have come storming into March here in San Jose, California. We are still having record temperature lows (for us) and storms are rolling in and out of the area every few days. I can only hope that the government is actually keeping the water unlike last time this happened. They let all the water out of the reservoirs due to the fear of flooding and we ended up being in a drought despite the fact we had record waterfall for the year. It has even hailed here multiple times. It is kind of cool to see us surrounded by snow topped hills. Snowfall was as low as 500 feet here. For those of you who are from places with real winters, you are probably laughing at me (I know I would). One of the reasons I love the Bay Area is the fact I get to drive to snow when I want it. I do not want it falling whenever it decides. LOL!

Hello Everyone! It is the last day of February and March is around the corner. It is raining here. We need the rain here in California to fight the drought. It was cool to see our local hills covered in snow. Snow came down to 500 feet above sea level. We have had a rainy cold February. I am ready for it to move on.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Welcome back everyone! How many of you watched the Super Bowl on Sunday? Or was that a great time for you to disappear into your sewing room undisturbed. I am a sports fanatic so even though I am not big into football (especially when my 49ers were eliminated by the Eagles the prior week), I did have it on while I tootled around the house. It turned out to be a great week for me!

To Do Tuesday #37

My word of 2023 is ENRICH. I want to spend this year doing things that enrich my life. One of the things that I chose was switching over to a digital planner. Of course, this is a slow process as I am definitely a paper and pen gal in general. I still get my bills in the mail even though I pay everything online. So this is an interesting journey in general. BUT moving my Monthly goals, Weekly Goals, and Daily To Do’s to the digital planner has been absolutely awesome! I love “lassoing” an item I didn’t do yesterday and dragging it to what day I think I will do it. Or duplicating an entry (such as To Do Tuesday) and just dragging it to the next Tuesday. With that said, I feel like this week has been particularly productive. Obviously, I still didn’t complete everything on my list, but I sure got pretty far!

Welcome back to To Do Tuesday. I will be linking up with Carol @ Quilt Schmitt. See the link below the cute logo below.

My experiment with 24 hours of quilting was overall a success. It didn’t got quite how I was picturing it. I only got in 16 hours of quilting. Yet I still got way more done than I normally would in a weekend. I may have to rethink and plan a little better for next time. Not bad for my first quilting marathon.

Hi Everyone! This is Simba and I am writing this week’s blog because Mom is in the sewing studio. (She was busy with the holidays and is now getting some fun time in the sewing studio.) I asked her if it was okay (since we are co-bloggers) to write this week. She told me to give it a whirl. So here we go….

The holidays are closing in fast. I got to listen to the Willow Glen High School Band and Choir Christmas Performance this week. It was fabulous. My grandson was in it; not that he wanted to be. Lol! He is 15 and has choir this year but hates ever moment. Wish he could loosen up and just enjoy it.

I want to thank Linda over at texasquiltgal.com for hosting the To Do Tuesday linky party. She is stepping down at the end of the year. She has been an amazing host with a lot of encouragement and upbeat comments to everyone who links up. Thank you Linda for being an amazing hostess!

To Do Tuesday #31

While I got caught up in all of my cross stitch Christmas projects, I finally sat down to work on my quilty projects. I made progress but not quite what I was expecting to finish. December has always been a flurry of activity where I finish up a bunch of stuff that has been hanging around.

Due to travel last year, that never happened. But this year, I have HIGH hopes to knock quite a few almost dones off the list before hitting the road again in January.
