Katie's Squirrel

My friend, Katie, has been on vacation upnorth for the past week so she hasn't been blogging or sending me messages via phone.  She's back now and I wanted to read her blog post... she'd already sent me a message through messenger but I wanted to read anyway.  BIG MISTAKE... I glanced over at the sidebar on the right and saw a couple of interesting blogs that she follows.

I read a couple and everything was ok.  I even noticed that we follow a couple of the same ones.  Then I checked another one out... it was ok... but then that one had a link to someone else's blog and they were talking about a Beary Colourful BOM... well, I love bears and can't seem to resist BOMs... so I had to check it out.  That's when the squirrel got me!!

But they are soooo cute!!  And really not hard to do... just lots of applique'.  So worth it, though...

once I finished printing out the patterns for months Jan through Aug., I HAD to start... I'd do just one I told myself... so cute!!  I  just HAD to do a second one...


So, there went my plans to finish up my Autumn themed BOM from Shabby Fabrics before starting anything new.... sigh....   It's all that squirrel's fault  lol
It'll just have to wait until I come to a stand still with the bears, which will happen if I don't happen to have the correct color/shade ( or a reasonable substitute).  I know I have the dark blue required for Feb.  (.... oh yeah, the red one is Jan. and the orange one is Aug. and is supposed to be yellow orange... this is close enough.), but  I'm not sure if I have the right purple; I might have used up the 'good' stuff on my RSC and I'm pretty sure I don't have anything that would qualify as yellow-green.  I don't want to have to go buy any fabrics either... this is another one of those projects to use up some more of what I already have.  I found some yardage on a bolt in my 'storage' room and there was more than enough for the background for the bears.

I've been  'writing' this blog as I've been eating my dinner, but dinner is over and I want to get back in my sewing room to start on the blue bear.

take care....
ttyl....
and watch out for the squirrels!!!
