Day 11

It appears I will have at least two posts today. What I thought I had posted Sunday was only a draft. Yesterday I couldn’t think of anything worth writing about. We have very cold weather, I think it’s about -14…no, wait! It’s now -19. Brrrr!! I finished a project yesterday but forgot to take a […]

No sewing today…

I thought I would get to sew today, but that didn’t happen. We had about 4″ of snow overnight, I shoveled in front of the house when I went out to mail a package. Avon is introducing numerous changes, one of which is the order books will no longer be available. Before I found this […]

It’s beginning to look alot like Christmas!

I managed to get some of the Christmas decorations up. It’s a bit of a challenge to decide where to put what in a new space. I’ll keep adding more as time goes on. I don’t know what we’ll do for a Christmas tree–can’t go out in the woods to cut one down this year… […]

What should I do first today?

I should be baking already. I want to take something for the bake sale at church. I should have baked yesterday. I need to do some house cleaning. I want to put up some Christmas decorations. I hauled up the boxes yesterday. I did get the Christmas throw pillow covers on. I thought I had […]

Today’s plan

I had a nice surprise in my email inbox this morning, an email from Island Batik, with the link to the new fabrics for Fall/Winter 2020. I need to work on new designs and patterns. I haven’t had any new patterns lately. Life got in the way, and there was no time for creativity. I […]

Day 5

I work at the Old Creamery Quilt Shop in Randall. We participate in the Quilt Minnesota Shop Hop every year. In 2020 it runs from July 31 to August 16. The fabric needs to be ordered next week, so I’ve spending time today in EQ7 (Electric Quilt), dropping the fabrics into some of my quilt […]

Day 4

Yikes! This will be a short post, it’s almost time to leave for work, and I may not remember after work… Yesterday I received a purchase order for Woven Ribbons and County Roads. I printed them last night, and finished up the order this morning. The sun is shining brightly, I’m not sure of the […]

Day 3 – 31 Day Blog Writing Challenge

Good Morning! I managed to clean up the miscellaneous “things” on the floor. Mostly I put them into a box to be sorted through later. Too much at one time is overwhelming. I also worked on a customer quilt. A gentleman came into the quilt store about 2 months ago, wanting a queen size quilt […]

Day 2 – 31 Day Blog Writing Challenge

I feel like all I’ve accomplished today is …nothing. I’ve gone to the Post Office, the bank, the grocery store; dropped off new Avon brochures; called on Avon customers; 2 loads of laundry are waiting to be put away. But none of that is sewing, so it feels like I’ve done nothing. Before I can […]

I need an incentive…

I saw this on a quilt designers group, and decided to take the challenge by Cheryl Sleboda of Muppin.com. I know that I should be posting more often, but I don’t know what to write about, I don’t have time, whine, whine, whine. Hopefully this will get me going in the right direction. I’ve been […]
