"Sew" Productive...

Good Evening Internet Friends!

End of the work week for me today!  "Sew" after dinner prep, dinner, and dog walk I took some time to myself and played in my craft room.

Trying to stay on track with things I decided to finish up Block 2 of my Lush quilt.  This is a Block of the Month from Sew Divine:

Month 2 blocks completed.

Month 1 and Month 2 blocks put together.  These will form borders of the quilt eventually.

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you all the 

BEST Day EVER Friday!!🎉

Week FIVE!!!

Good Evening Internet Friends!

"Sew" it is already Week 5 of the 52 Block Challenged hosted by A Needle Pulling Thread Quilt Shop and I have still managed to keep up!!!  This might just possibly be a first for me:

Still using up scrap fabrics "sew" no previously unused fabrics were harmed in the making of this!  Seriously LOVE these scrap quilts.

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you all the 

BEST Day EVER Wednesday tomorrow.

Month Two...

Good Evening Internet Friends.

Stopped by Sew Divine this evening to pick up month three of my Block of the Month.  I may have also picked up a couple of notion items that I am going to need.

As I have not yet started month two I decided to do that this evening after dinner.  Here is my slow progress so far:

TAH DAH!!!  Six 6 1/2" blocks ready to roll.  It does not look like a lot of progress but I will justify this progress by saying all the fabric for this month is now cut "sew" sewing tomorrow should be easier!

LOVE these colours.

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you the 

BEST Day EVER Tuesday tomorrow.  🎉

Happy Monkey Face Cake Day...

Good Evening Internet Friends!

I worked part time and casual for 17 years with an amazing group of Community Care RN's.  During my time at this clinic one of the staff came up with Happy Monkey Face Cake Day because everyone likes monkey's and everyone likes cake. True.

Now that I am working in a different clinic full time and no longer picking up shifts there I have brought Happy Monkey Face Cake Day to my new clinic.

Happy Monkey Face Cake Day is celebrated on January 28th unless there is a weekend at which time the rules get fuzzy....this year Happy Monkey Face Cake Day is tomorrow.

This evening I made:

TAH DAH!!!

Hoping this inspires your own creativity and wishing you all the 

BEST Monday EVER tomorrow.

The WEEKEND!!!

Good Evening Internet Friends!

Alas, I had such high hopes and expectations for this weekend, but thanks to the asthma attack yesterday I was in s...l....o....w.... motion today.

Dog of course woke me up way too early to take him for his walk.  I did not walk very fast and so he had lots of time to snuffle around.  He did not seem to mind.  I do have to admit that I love these morning walks.  Everything is just very peaceful and calm out there and the parks and paths look so pretty:

One of our favourite stomping grounds.

Took me quite a while to get home due to my slow moving speed, but on the way home I decided that I would make buttermilk waffles for breakfast.

DELICIOUS!

After a nap I headed out to support Local Quilt Shop Day.  Okay, truth is I decided to participate in a quilting class next weekend and needed some fabric for it.  I had no idea what I wanted other than I wanted navy for it and preferably bright colours.  Since I had NO idea what I was looking for I headed out to Johnson's Sewing Centre where I knew the amazing Heather would know what I need.  She did:

TAH DAH!!!  All ready for class.....except for cutting but you know I still have a week for that😉.

While dinner was in the oven I made a loaf of banana bread to help out with the lunch prep for the week that I will start on tomorrow:

One less thing to do tomorrow.

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you all the 

BEST Sunday EVER tomorrow.🎉

Wheeze On...

Good Evening Internet Friends!

I was super excited last night with some of the things I have been able to accomplish of late.  Since moving I have somehow been able to keep fresh fruit and vegetables cut up ready for lunches in the refrigerator.  Have soups, casseroles, bread, and other baked goods ready for lunches, and other foods prepped and ready for dinner when I get home.  Then I do a bit of house tidy every evening.  Have somehow managed to stay on top of laundry at all times.  Dog is walked on the community trails and although that takes time I have NO backyard clean up.

After my "Adulting" occurs I spend a bit of time in my craft room and am starting to make some obvious progress on some of my TO DO pile of crafts.

One of these is the 2016 (not a typo) 52 Week Block Challenge Hosted by A Needle Pulling Thread Quilt Shop.  Last evening I placed out all 52 blocks...yes there are only 49 in the picture....there is a reason:

TAH DAH!!!

Then I started to sew the blocks and rows together with the intent that I would really have SOMETHING to show you all this evening:

Well.....thanks to spending a good part of today in my favourite Emergency Department due to an asthma attack....this is as far as I got yesterday evening.  I am planning to head out in the morning for a bit and get a border fabric, binding and backing as tomorrow is Local Quilt Shop Day.  "Sew" of course I will be hitting up a couple of my favourite shops.  

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you all the 

BEST Day EVER Saturday tomorrow.  🎉

"Sew" Excited...

Good Evening Internet Friends!

"Sew" excited.  I have been staying up a little later than I should have this week as I really wanted to accomplish something:

TAH DAH!!!  

This is my first of the Simple Whatnots Club 8 Collection.  There is a second quilt pattern also included with this month "sew" I also want to get started on that soon too!  

LOVE how these turned out and if I just focus on doing a wee bit each evening hopefully I do not get too far behind.

Hope this inspires your own creativity and wishing you the 

BEST Friday EVER!!!🎉
