Still Here..End of Year

I can't believe it has been almost a month since my last post. I have been really busy.  I have some things that are in the process of being "taken care of" and I am hoping beyond hope I will have some good news to share the end of this week. It will definitely explain a lot. 

I have been getting some things done, just not as much as I hoped or to be honest, what I should have been doing.

I finished a scarf and a pair of socks this week and started something new. I will update those on Friday with the Needles post.

I finished my January little houses hand embroidery.

I am almost finished with two more projects. I just have to sew the sleeves and the labels down. So those will actually be my first two finishes for the New Year...yay.

I am hoping to have lots of finishes for 2013 but I don't think that will start to happen until at least March, unless I can use Harry Potter's wand to speed things up.

I hope everyone has a safe and Happy New Year....til next year.

Design Wall Monday on Easy Street 12/3/2012

I don't have much to show for this week. I was busy but I don't really know what I was busy doing.  I wasn't online much either, as some of my acquaintances noticed as well.

I did get my Easy Street part 2 done. I am still keeping up for now. I will probably fall a little behind with the next step since my work schedule is a little bit hectic. Oh well..what can you do..

I went ahead and cut the extra rectangles so I would be a little bit ahead.  I spent one day on the right wings and the next day on the left wings, it actually went pretty quick.

 

 

And, then because I never have enough to do I started another BOM..Spring Bouquet from Laundry Basket Quilts.  This one is already pre-cut and pre-fused. I thought it would be quick but really it took longer than I thought. I cut all of the backgrounds out then went to fuse.  Remembered light box so searched for that, found it, then had to search for the tape.  So, what I thought would only be about a 45 minute project took about an hour and a half and I didn't even sew anything down.  Good news is ...block one is now ready, I only have 13 more to do (well 8 blocks and 4 borders).

 

 

 

 

For more Design Wall's head on over to Judy's.

 

For more easy street progress head on over to Bonnie's

 

 

Hope to post a little bit more of my projects this week but who knows...I can only try.
