Default Snowed In

We are snowed in here...so rather than get cabin fever and bored, I have set myself a challenge to do some project each day using my stash. ( I could stay busy till Summer). I have been making things for Project Linus to sell at craft shows to make money to buy fabric. Right now, I am working on casserole carriers made from place mats. How are you friends occupying yourselves while you are home bound?
Thanks,

I am trying to cut charm squares, so I can get the fabric off my ironing board, so I can use it to iron some clothes that I want to list on Ebay. I am also on the last corner of hand quilting the quilt for my bed, it will be nice if I can get it done before spring. I would hand quilt all day but it makes my arm sore.

Just saw your location - NC!! how much snow do you have there?

I'm probably in the minority here but I love this time of year. It's quiet, no holidays to think about, no yardwork, just create!
I'm sandwiching a Christmas quilt that didn't get done. Improving my FMQ, which I'm happy about. It's taken me forever to get the hang of it!
Many projects in my head but I also need to get my sewing room cleaned up. It's messy messy!!!

My plan is: using the “Fabric Moratorium” method of keeping track of amount of fabric bought vs fabric used. I hope to complete a UFO every 2 months. I think I have 4-5 so it’s do-able. DH is beginning to cook and helps clean on Friday

Same here - but I'll give it another week before cabin fever sets in. We have about 18+ inches of snow. But, the really bad part is the temperature. My garage door is frozen shut!!!!! UFO's are really coming along nicely.

I'm keeping two young grands while school is out so keeping occupied is not a problem.☺

I actually have put my machine away after Christmas to do a couple of 1000 piece puzzles I got.

Definitely taking advantage of the day off. No school. Working on a BOW using stash.

I'm starting on a quilt for our bigger bed coming soon. Also working on ufo's, and organizing my sewing space. I enjoy this quiet time of year. It's really cold outside, so more reason to stay inside and sew!
