A few photos of us
My best photos are of the scenery but I do have some of us enjoying ourselves too. Click collage to enlarge.
A lazy day for me
We arrived home last night and after picking up Chesty this morning, I’ve had a quiet day. I took hundreds of photos but for now I’ll just share a few.
Heading out
Some drama around here has kept me occupied for the last couple days but Keith and I are heading out to the airport now. We’re excited about the trip to Ireland which we’ve dreamed about and planned for over 10 years now.
See you in about a week.
Can you tell not much is getting done?
Not making any progress on the binding or piecing front the last couple days. I’ve been transitioning my sleep schedule to nights again and finally feel like I’ve gotten a little rest. I did spend the afternoon downtown yesterday – a visit to Barnes&Nobles, lunch out, and a haircut. It was nice to be out and about for a few hours.
What’s on your agenda this week?
- Binding — #3 of 10 is in progress and I’d like to get at least one more done this week.
- Continue to assemble the blocks on the design wall — still have more to make but I’m out of room so I’ll work to get these into one piece before doing the last 3 rows.
- Playing some more with postcards – nothing is sewn on these yet, just auditioning layouts.
- Errands on Monday
- Haircut on Tuesday
- Meet with accountant on Wednesday to sign off on taxes — we are getting a refund which is good news!
- Laundry & packing on Thursday
- Leave for Dublin on Friday
#10 is done
It’s been months since I’ve quilted Wonky Feathers and I was a little shaky on this HeartStrings top pieced by Paulette but these feathers are very forgiving and I’m surprised at how nice the quilting looked when I was done.
If you haven’t checked out the Pajama Quilt DVD, you should – it’s one of my favorites. Clicking on the photos will enlarge them.
In addition to quilting I’ve been trimming quilts, working on a binding, and I started assembling the largest section of the Boxed Squares quilt. I have the bulk of the tasks I wanted to do before our trip done so I’m pleased.
Poor me
I’m pouting because Keith is in GA with the boys and I’m home alone (well Chesty is here too) but I’d rather be in GA.
He’ll be checking on our Condo in the N. GA mountains today – It’s in a beautiful spot and we had some good times there before we moved – maybe we’ll get back for a week sometime this year.
