Making a little progress

I worked on my Pineapple blocks today.... when I stopped last time, I had five done out of twenty needed.  Today, I made three more - not counting the first one that I messed up BIG TIME and decided to just toss it in the recycling bag - not worth the work of tearing it apart and starting again.

This is certainly going to be an 'interesting' quilt when it's done... I should probably start hanging the completed ones onto my design wall so that I can try to make some sense out of them and future blocks.

Before I started working on the blocks today, I decided that I REALLY needed to give "Marie" a good cleaning.  It seemed like everytime I thought about doing it, I'd tell myself "As soon as you finish this"... I don't think it's really been that long, but I have done quite a bit of sewing - and cotton fabrics with cotton thread makes for a LOT of lint.  Like this much --  UGH!!

The pile on the left was just from the bobbin case - I'm surprised that "Marie" was working at all!!  I'm going to have to do a better job of cleaning her more often.

What I'm really wanting/needing to do is CLEAN the entire sewing room, but like my fellow quilter Katie says "Squirrel!!"... I get distracted too easily and I have bins of projects just waiting for me to either work on them or just finish them before I can move them out of the room ( I don't want to move them out until the project is done and the bin is EMPTY).

BUT, I'd also like to find a couple of things that are MIA... like my glue dot gun and my E6000 glue... I know when and what I used the glue last ( for 2016 Christmas ornaments for our gkids and ggkids), but darned if I can remember what I did with it after that - and I NEED it to try and fix our vaccum cleaner hose - I don't want to have to buy another tube.  As for the glue dot gun, I haven't the foggiest idea where that is hiding; I've been looking for it off and on for several months now.  It SHOULD be out by "Mo'e" so that I can adhere patterns traced onto golden threads paper on to whatever quilt I'm working on.  I know where the paper is - and I've seen the pkg that the gun came in - just can't find the gun ---  I'm so tired of losing.misplacing things :(.

Ok, almost bed time here... I think I'll go back into 'the dungeon' and work for a few minutes before calling it a night.
