Listing my goals last week helped me make a DENT in the ironing I wanted to get DONE. Unfortunately I didn't finish it.

There was working, gardening, swimming, cooking, and basement cleaning that kinda got in the way at the end of the week.

So this week's goal is to FINISH that ironing and maybe try a few Crumb Blocks.

i have a doll quilt to get done, a friendship block. my secret sister package to get out, a baby quilt on the frame to finish quilting and a new quilt arrived saturday to be quilted...so i'd better get busy.
i do think it is helping me get back into getting things done again. oh i still have to get summer and fall runners made too...i feel so far behind all of a sudden...but i wiped 2 things off the list last week. all i can do is try to accomplish more this week ;)

Most of this should be done by Wednesday so then I will have to think of what else to do. :roll:

I go day to day... for today:
1) get clean up of files done from Friday's closings (5)
2) do accommodation closing at noon
3) go to Wyoming Co. to record documents

7) oh- in between- call appliance repairman to schedule for Wed. am, car will be in garage for inspection and I will be home. Ice cube maker stopped working on fridge and freezer in basement stopped working. Hubby said to have him look at dishwasher while he's at it.

I'm tired thinking about it. Guess I better get my butt in gear... have a good day ya'll!

*Finish LWR quilt top (may get it done today).
*Travel to Oregon for "tease and squeeze" with DGD!

Some of your goal lists are sooooo long! ... I only have 2 on mine.

7. Pack up the rest of my books and other things in my study in preparation for the home office renovation.

Okay, this list thing seems to be working. I have touched up the paint in my living room where we moved the from one wall to another and cleaned my refrigerator! Yeah for me! the jobs are done, now I can play with the quilts.

I have ordered about 15 yards of fabric and it is on it's way so I will be doing loads of ironing as well when it gets here-that is my least favorite part of quilting :cry:

With only two weeks left before I have to go back to school (our year starts for teachers on the 26th!), I have LOTS to get done.

1) Finish painting the closet doors in my daughter's room.

2) Finish my July doll quilt. (All cut out, just needing to sew it together.)

3) Kill the scary stuff growing in my dh's bathroom. Then paint the entire bathroom a BRIGHT yellow.

4) VBS every night from 6 to 8pm! (I am the basket weaver)

5) Take the kids to the zoo on Wednesday morning before the temperature hits 100+ degrees!

6) Finish all the laundry and reorganize the closet.

7) Clean out the garage enough to park my vehicle in it!

8) Finish my two distance learning classes and get mailed off.

9) Begin lesson planning for next school year. (I am teaching a new subject, so I am starting from scratch!)

10) Get my kitchen ready for a new dishwasher that is hopefully going to be delivered this week!


When all this is done, I am going to take next week to relax!!!!

I am gonna try this and see if it helps.
1. Finish DH's quilt, his B-Day is the 23.
2. Work on 1 of the tops and get it finished and ready to sandwich.
3. Try not to kill one of the kids. School needs to start already.
4. And last of all get the Van fixed. Yay.

OK - I will bite! Here is the list===

1. To FINISH this list
2. Take 2 quilt tops to the quilter 2 hours away!
3. Cut holey leaves off of my hostas
4. Pull some weeds
5. Work 5 hours in my sewing room (maybe it'll make a dent?)
6. Shave my legs!! Don't laugh - I wear pants and forget! haha
7. Cut grass if and when it dries out.
8. Start my new diet tomorrow! (wish me luck)
9. Take some paper blocks for the printer store to copy
10. Must have my naps!

need to add to list- call repairman- fridge is leaking water on the floor here at office. grrrr.

Dig up the iris bed and throw away all those that got the borer...YUCK!

It would probably be easier to just throw 'em all out and start fresh.

Goals for this week:

1. Clean the spare bedroom for my sister's visit this weekend.

2. Weed the overgrown flower bed in front of the house - IF the temp stays below 95! LOL

3. Make copies of the Texas Star pattern templates and convert to the English Paper Piecing method.

4. Choose all the fabrics from my stash for the Texas Star Quilt.

5. Pay some bills and work on a budget for the rest of the month.

6. Scold my dog for eating? losing? another leather thimble!

7. Buy another thimble!

8. Try to keep the house in order for my sister's visit this weekend.

We are leaving for a week of camping. My goal is to relax and not get sunburned. :-D

Okay, so I killed the scary stuff in my husband's bathroom. It is amazing what "Simple Green" can do. I bleached the ceiling where the mildew/mold was growing. Ewww. I am going to wait until everything dries, then scrape the peeling paint and put up a coat of Kilz before I paint tomorrow.

I finished the closet doors. Just waiting for them to dry so I can pull off the painter's tape.

Finished the PP part of my doll quilt, so now I just have to make the rotary cut blocks.

Tied about fifty water-balloons for my kids so they could squish them jumping on the trampoline.

Now I have to start working on the kitchen... just in case I get a call about my new dishwasher being in.

It's a start!

Maybe you will find the thimble when he does his business... he he :lol:

What's a crumb block? Do you get to eat crumb cake first?

You start back to school On JULY 26???? OMG - when did you get out?

No but that's one heck of an idea!

Maybe tomorrow morning early I can bake a cake before it gets too hot and the air turns on.

"Thanks" for the idea - My hips thank you - my belly thanks you - and my bottom thanks you. ROFL and can't get up!

Only ironed clothes today - no fabric. Appointments most of the day. Sewed about 12 crumb blocks - Love 'em - so mindless to do.

goals You all have goals??? I really look into that. Sounds productive.

Truthfully I did have oen for today which was to finish the binding on the baby quilt and then I could take a deep breath before attempting to put some things in order. But the good new is, we have heavy rain just about the whole day, the bad news was and still is, heavy thunder boomers which scare my sweet little Junie half to death. Even with medication from the vet, she still cowers everywhere. So I spent most of the day with her beside me and pillows all around her and a make shift tent to cover but yet have her touching my hip. I'm not a big TV person, and I had my stack of quilting magazines (I can read them over and over and still continue to find new things) but the light on bothers her as well during a storm. So I literally sat on the sofa with her on one side and my other
bichon on the other. I did get approximately one side done. So with the forecast for the next several days. the position on the sofa may be a semi perm.. one

Uh oh, DH threw a monkey wrench in the works x two.

#1 - helped him clean the garage after doing the roofing and all the shingle stuff fell through the lousy roof boards they used due to too much spacing between boards. What a job. That stuff was everywhere.
I did get three loads of laundry done.

#2 - DH has an eye infection in right eye and if not better will drive him the hour and a half to the VA tom. I saw it starting on Sunday afternoon. Don't know what caused it, but, I will get all things done this week, I think providing he doesn't do something else I am not aware of.

I got done #1 and 5. Moved going to Wyoming County to this morning, have more time in case I run into search troubles.

Did go to meeting, out too late to hit dairy store. Will go today.

Appliance guy scheduled.

Today is get files ready for closings this week. Everyone thinks you are supposed to close on Friday. :)

Tonight I want to move everything off the porch and hose it down. I don't like cobwebs. Then to play in my stash- need to do some blocks for our reunion quilt. Only have a month to complete it.

Off to a busy day. Enjoy all!

Shutting off the computer to get up and do something!

Just finished 2 and 3. The house smells like dill pickles :)

8) Rewrite/update DH's Resume
9) Make business cards
10) oh, and work at my regular job ---DONE FOR THIS WEEK!!!

Other stuff - not done yet. But I have two days til I go to the show....

Hmmm....

1. Quilt Sherlock Holmes log cabin quilt
2. Work on beach scene scrappy quilt
3. Reorganize scraps.

Yesterday I
* paid bills.
* canned 10 quarts of dill pickles
* sewed a few crumb blocks

Darn - those NON-quilting things keep interferring with my quilting time.

Didn't iron a piece of fabric :( Getting off computer NOW for 30 minutes to iron.
