I can't believe my lay off was about to be over! I got my new schedule the other day and found out it was extended by 2 weeks! Yay! I feel like I got a reprieve from the warden. I've got so much to do still! I deleted one of the games off my phone so I would stop wasting so much time. Between phone games, flu, Rich and Bethany's birthday and wrangling teenagers, I'm not getting much sewing done.
I made this Turning Twenty quilt a LONG time ago but stopped before I put on the borders. I had myself convinced that I didn't have enough to do the inner border. So, I waited and waited until I could buy some more fabric. Then, the other day I got it back out and realized I had plenty to finish it. Doi! I don't know what I was thinking! I guess, sometimes you just need to step away from something. It's Alice In Wonderland for Sierra. She's always been a big fan of the original story. Not Disney. That was important to her.
I've also been doing some organizing. I labeled my fabric boxes and added a few more (the picture shows about half). This took WAY longer than it should have. My first batch printed wrong and I didn't have any more labels. So, I waited to get more. Then, they printed wrong two more times. Geez! The labels have little butterflies around them. Much ado about nothing, I just keep doing these crazy little things that suck up all my time.
Not to mention, the couple of hours I took to re-design my blog and set it up on Bloglovin.
I've also been organizing my DMC thread. I'm slowly adding to my collection every week. I did try to buy an American brand, the one they sell at Hancock's. It was terrible! Really rough thread. Won't be doing that again. At least I tried to give them a chance. But, the French know what they're doing when it comes to embroidery thread. I'm interested in trying Cosmo brand some time. It's pretty big on the internet but I haven't seen it local.
Then I finished two more tulip blocks. It doesn't seem like much again this week. I did some painting, too but I'm not ready for pictures yet. I took 3 large wooden circles and drilled holes into them to make giant buttons. I did this like, a month ago and just painted them today. They are a HUGE mess. I'm just not sure what direction to take with them. We'll see.
