Ta Da for Week 40

QUILT

Buckeye Beauty baby quilt.
Black kitty is Scrappy.  Lump hiding under the quiltlet is
actually a kitty wondering what the H*** is going on! and that kitty is Chai.
Hope to have the quilt finished this weekend.

PAPERWORK - yup!  Still there!  Mostly have just been working on the daily onslaught of mail!  REALLY need to settle down and work on the major sorting!

EDUCATION
Tried to update to present (and beyond) my study projects (Blackboard Report).  Also tried to update Amazon.com purchases and to keep as cheap (!!??? Yeah, right!) as possible.  Still need to add update pix of projects and decide what to do with old pix re archives.

PANTRY
Making a list and checking it twice (three, no - make that four, five... um... a dozen times!)  At any rate I have plans for making some purchases in the long term storage area.  There would have been canning going on IF my garden had done a lot of much.  It didn't!  so it is buy-it-in time!  STILL have to work on the Pantry page (Preserving Kettle).  I think I would rather quilt!

I Refuse to Drift Today...... Oh no - another WAIWO????

Drifting seems to have become somewhat my  specialty - lay out plans for the week - then go every which direction to KEEP from accomplishing them!

At any rate having had a somewhat un-boring day today (doctor's visit I had forgotten about - never mind that we rescheduled yesterday for today!), visiting the vampires, and getting a phone call from my doc about an appointment with another doc that I never made (oops!), some news I didn't expect :( and basically playing the rest of the day on Criminal Justice (uh - did I say that????) I find that I not only did not accomplish a thing on my week's list - BUT I didn't win the case in CJ either!

In other words - I drifted!  I let outside forces determine my actions and when I DID have the chance to do something I theoretically (that's the word, alright!) wanted to do, I refused - and took a nap instead!  (OK - the nap WAS good - and needed!)

So - what's to do about it?  Continue to drift?  Return to the WAIWO daily accounting of what I need to do and go from there?  Ugh!  Not sure!  And I want to find a happy medium.  Not necessarily a medium anyone else would agree with - but one with which I feel fair-to-middlin' content!

List 4 on a daily basis?  Uh - yeah, right!  That's how my WAIWO list evolved!

List everything on a sheet of paper.... uhm - stop right there!  I LOVE paper and I especially love listing things on paper!  I could list everything for the next YEAR on paper - and when I looked up, I'd be surprised it wasn't all done!  So - that's out!

List 4 still seems my best option.  Essentially - so bear with me folks!

This is my TOMORROW list....

Yes - it's cold here!

HOUSE 
Do the WHB (Weekly Home Blessing - or clean the joint up!  Remove those dust elephants!) for 1 hour.  (It ain't clean - but I can sure breathe better!)

EDUCATION
Pick 4 areas to work on today.  (and my choice is???......  Religion, Russian, Math, Life Skills - as in the Paper Monster!)
Work on those 4 areas for 4 hours MAX - then stop!

KITCHEN
Make regular bread
Make Challah
Make Coffeecake for Sat. breakfast
(IOW - Use that bread machine!)
Lemon Pudding Cake can be made in a Crockpot - do it!
Invest in a turkey breast or chicken - whichever is cheaper by the pound - that's for dinner and veggies include green beans (frozen), cauliflower (dehydrated), tomatoes and zucchini (dehydrated - both of them).

Celtic Solstice - I want to put the borders on today!

QUILT
get runners ready to quilt
Celtic solstice - get those borders on!  Finish that Flimsy!


In case you can't guess, I can't count!  AND have delusions of grandeur to boot!  SO far the list is the FAB 10????  And I'm setting up posts for the weekend too!

This has been a GREAT week! Just look and see!

Underground RR block - Drunkard's Path

Cinnamon Sticks (looks different from the design wall, doesn't it!)

These 2 last photos are of the Baby Quilt #1 and show at least some of the walking foot quilting done.
We will ignore  all the errors, please!

Additionally the house has been worked on - AND the paper mountain has been tackled!  No vanquishing the paper monster YET!  But it will happen!

Wow! See what I did this week!

QUILTING

I've really hesitated (STRONGLY) about showing what all I did this past week - at least as far as the quilting was concerned!

First of all - I didn't touch my Celtic Solstice quilt until today - and may hold on this until next week!  So far it is still at this stage....

What I DID do - was work on the Baby Quilt #1 - and was sooooooooooo pleased with my progress - until I flipped it over!  Which is when I saw little pinches of fabric that had scooted in there!  Grrrr!  Yeah - I know - the Seam ripper is my friend - but honestly I didn't WANT to have to use the seam ripper at this time!  And yes - I DID smooth everything out first - and DID work in the center first!  Problem was I kept running directly into my safety pins - which I had to move - and, of course, that's when everything scooted!  Oh joy!

Pinch #1 - and honestly, I COULD have taken a more blurry picture!
Really!

Pinch #2 - and if it had a been me that was pinched like this - It would have HURT!

Pinch Number 3 - drat it anyway!

I would like to say that I finished this - and I may yet - today!  I would also like to say that I got all the rest of the little projects all ready.  Uh huh!  Like.... NOT!

I DID get the little go with bag ready to go with all the various projects for Open Sew.  Problem was - I got there - and....  I hadn't packed my seam ripper, scissors, slicer, screwdriver, regular needle shank (I still had the walking foot on!),or any of a dozen other things!  I WAS fortunate though, THIS time I did remember to pack my machine cord and pedal!  AND I packed the machine!  Also packed rulers - which I couldn't use (no slicer, no scissors!)  I think it is time I figure out WHERE I put that little kit and just pack it up and KEEP it in my go-with rolling cart!

Cinnamon Sticks - needed the scissors!
Needed regular foot and needle!  And thread!

Bow-da-cious!  Doing connector blocks (folded corners) -
sure didn't happen Fri night! no scissors!

QOV - needs that outside border.  Slicer left home!  Drat it!

So - this meant that the Cinnamon Sticks placemat, additional border for the QOV didn't happen. I was able to do 2 blocks that I have been scared of since I got the Underground Railroad Pattern to begin with - namely, the Wagon wheel (mine is lumpy - but that happened anyway to a lot of wagon wheels - which were wood - and lopsided - and which broke at inopportune times!) and the Drunkard's Path (strangely enough the circles were almost completely round - should have sewn those on before the Wagon wheel!)

"Wheels" to be quartered for Drunkards path!
Actually am pleased with how these turned out!

Wagon wheel - can we say off center and LUMPY????

Borders around the Underground Railroad note.

Still, there are hours left in the day - so I think I will work on finishing out the Drunkard's Path into a block, finish up the Cinnamon Sticks and I think maybe that final border on the QOV!  THEN if I can - I will sandwich some of the table runners I have floating around so that I can quilt them this week!

Goals for WB Sunday, 01-12-14

Snow - and more of it!
The long building is a tobacco barn!  Until I moved here I never thought of MA as raising and curing tobacco.
Kind of funny when you think of it - people are forbidden by law to smoke anywhere in a public place!
Yet MA raises tobacco!  Hmmmm!

Oh good grief! It's Wednesday, Isn't it! WAIWO 10-23-13

I love versidd!  It's an anaesthetic that in combination with another anaesthetic gives me the BEST nap!  Best part - when I wake up, whatever procedure there was - is ALL OVER!!  Yeehaw!

Along with this - tests thus far have been negative.  Today was the endoscopy and another procedure (which I do not want to discuss!) Slept right through  both of them!  A FAR FAR better change than the last time I had both procedures - when I had NO anaesthetic, NO pain killers - NADA!  Just me and the procedure - MAN I hated that!

Anyway - home from there - and all I've done is sleep, eat, drink and sleep some more!  As for anything else?  - it all goes on tomorrow's!
