The weekend that went too fast

I'm trying to remember where I left off on Friday... or was it Thursday?  I know I had been working on the snowman and penguin placemats and was about ready to add the bindings, I think.  Well, I did that.... had enough left from the backing fabric to bind two of the placemats and then I found another blue to do the remaining two.



I didn't get the picture taken until today, and, yes, that's the shadow of one of my arms and a shoulder...oh well... it was hard to see because the wonderful sun was so bright.

Yesterday, I was going to work on my strings project but got involved in a secret project and then decided to clean out one of my scrap boxes... the one with red scraps in it...
It wasn't overflowing like some of the rest so I knew it would be manageable for me.  Off to cutting the strips into 2.5" squares, then 2" squares, and if there was still fabric left, 1.5" squares...


here they are all bagged up by size and back in the 'bin'


 the rest went into a scrap bag to be used as dog or cat bed filler.

Today, there was no sewing or trimming.... well, I did hand stitch a popped seam on the inside of hubby's winter jacket, but that was it.  Most of the day was spent going to Walmart to pick up my new glasses, potting soil, and some white cotton fabric then coming home and getting the deck table & chairs set up with new umbrella and putting our new bird feeder on the living room window and re-potting two plants into a super cute planter that I bought at the hospital gift shop last week... it's a little hedgehog peeking out of an old boot. 

 Once the outdoor stuff was done ( for now), I started cleaning up our living room a little and pulled all of hubby's sweatshirts out of the closet - he doesn't even wear them... let them take up room somewhere else!  I want to really clean that closet out but some of the stuff is going to have to stay there for a little while longer until I can find a new home for them - maybe I'll put them in the citywide yard sale next month :).

Hubby has dr appts for the next three days so I probably won't get much sewing done, except maybe some hand sewing while sitting in waiting rooms.  

take care.....

What to work on next

 I finished the two gift quilts - and both have been delivered to a parent of the little girl recipient. I have the requested photo from one...
