To Do Tuesday #39

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!

To Do Tuesday #36

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.

To Do List #35

Whoa! I can’t believe this is the first time I am working on my quilt log and journal this month. I don’t even have my monthly goals written down. I find that crazy to even think. I knew I had been gone for half the month, but I didn’t realize how out of sync I was. LOL!

To Do Tuesday #34

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….

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!

QUILT DIARY: October Sewalong Updates

I finally hit a wall and have had to take a step back. I had so many sewalongs going on that I fell behind and then I was feeling terrible about myself. When I realized I wasn’t having fun anymore, I dropped the idea of joining two more sewalongs starting at the end of September and beginning of October.

Quilt Diary: What’s Under My Needle to wrap up August

I’m going for shorter post today and just going to talk about what I have been working on this week. Like most of you, I have very productive weeks and not so much other weeks. This is a middle of the road week. Continue reading “Quilt Diary: What’s Under My Needle to wrap up August”
