Finishitupitis?

Great!

OK, so “great” is no longer in my vocabulary but I have been out of bed this whole week. Been like the old days before I got sick…It’s been fantastic! I got to do so much and I really wanna share what all I've been up to.

1-I painted the wall - started putting a base coat on in anyway. Been sitting there white for years now.

2-Got real organized in the business, found out I have not one but like three pattern lists and lists of things to do.

3-Quilt basted (even if it is just a throw) was very hard on lungs. Like a steam engine while sweeping the floor. Blurred out cause it's for a friend.


4-Started and finished small plush fox, meet Fennick.



5-Finished a sewing and stuffing yet another bear, on left, here's the family so far. 


6-Finished slippers 



7-Cut two gowns to sew, striped. Exchanged hems on 2 so that they aren't 1-too short, 1-floor length.


8-made a 8x11 drawing book cover out of a Faby Riley cross stitch SAL



9-researched information on Poe and made a book out of it 

10-completed my William Wilberforce small booklet binding. 

11-Pixie #1 returned a cowl to me, needed edging, finished that. Blocked needs photo's for Book of Cowls.

12-Made a meal, Chinese cabbage salad, grilled chicken, green beans and shiitake, fingering potatoes in air fryer and RWB pretzel Jello salad with blueberries. Sooo wonderful to make for my unit.

13-Printed and organized all plush sewing patterns.

14- Poe album for about 10 more hours.

15- Rachel Drummond sample has a ready made collar with it. Worked out the pick up math for the sample and got about 35 rows done. 



16-Continued designing  Rachel pattern,,, lost computer pattern due to cat dancing on keyboard, had to recreate it over again.

17- Star Flower heirloom goodies done ready to shoot. My helper is never far from me.



18-Quilted my friends throw, been scared to try for years, Bound ready to wash. YEZ!



19- organized inside of drawing pad. Pulled filler paper, decorated the chipboard outsides. Needs insides, pockets then adherence to cover and binding.



20-Made rust slip for skirt I’m knitting. Trimmed in deep magenta lace.

21-Finished knitting skirt, b/o beads every 2 sts. Cross over bag, hair ties and an embroidered boho blouse to come.



22-Dusted work space real well. First time been able to for years. Tossed a bunch of stuff. Organized teas.
