Be thankful you had time with her and she had a peaceful ending so take your comfort in that. You will slowly find your balance and continue on. Thoughts and prayers to you at this difficult time. Use your sewing as threrapy and maybe make something in rememberance of her.

That is great!! I got to fill my new sewing room up and made three purses and altered some curtains for my neighbor.

Friday, I made a windbreaker jacket out of nylon fabric and a hoodie sweatshirt. However, I miscalculated the 2XL !!!!!! and since 2XL!!!!! is always big on me, I didn't try it on. Murphy's Law bit me in the butt, as the shirt was mislabeled and couldn't have been bigger than a L if that. SO, it didn't fit me by a long shot. But I figured it would fit my mom.
Saturday, I stayed in my pj's and did sweet dik all.
Sunday I went to my parents' house to help Mom celebrate her 75 th birthday, and their 55 th wedding anniversary. The sibs got together and got them a new (big) flat screen tv. I also gave Mom the jacket. It fits her like it was made for her. And she loved it.
Today, Mom called to say she wore the jacket everywhere today, and all her friends loved it too.
Today I went to my quilt club and we did a "cancer sew" day and made 200 pads for patients.(don't ask)
Tonight, I finished off a quilt for a friend and called her to say it was ready. *She only asked last weekend.
After she picked her jaw up off the floor, I explained that I had this one languishing in the closet and she "saved" it from infinite UFO'dom.
And I cooked dinner.
Not bad eh?

I took out a UFO that I started 5-6yrs ago. It is a bargello jacket. I had all the pieces sewn together and just had to cut my strips and make the bargello pieces for the jacket pieces. It has turned out to be quite the endeavor. But with perservence, I now have both sleeves and the 2 front pieces done and only have the back left to do. That is today's project.

Finished hand quilting a quilt for GGson's birthday, went to church, cooked a big pot of chili, loafed a lot. Oh yes. Can't forget my most hated job. Grocery shopping!

My sister came to spend the weekend and we both did some projects that needed another opinion. We have very different quilting styles but when we share a project it always gets better. I guess the addage that 2 heads are better than one is true!

I went to a class on Saturday to make a Dancing Stars quilt. Worked on it Sunday and Monday--have 4 long rows now. Will post pics when done.

I finally, after months of trying to figure out how I was going to unpack all my fabric from the move last spring, started doing just that. I unpacked one large box that had been sitting in the corner of my room since last spring, then cleaned out an old wicker storage chest, repacked many of the UFO's into it(while making a detailed list of what is in there, so I don't have to dig through looking for something), then moved in a large plastic storage drawer thingy that is full of my scrapes. Then I got inspired to make more room by ironing all my scrapes, sorting them by size and am planning to repack them more neatly into those drawers. Sounds nutty, I know, but I have several more boxes full of fabric waiting to be unpacked, so I want to make as much room as possible. When my sewing room completes it's remodel, I will have shelving 8 1/2 ft high by 19 ft long.....floor to ceiling, wall to wall shelves. In the meantime, I am just trying to "survive" without all my fabric unpacked.

But finding all those UFO's will help me to reach my goal of completing them BEFORE I start another new quilt (my New Year's Resolution this yr!!) Oh my, this is really torture!!!

I am the weekend manager at a group home for developmentally disabled adults so I worked all weekend. Go in on Friday morn and come home Sunday pm. BUT I have a great big bedroom with a sewing area set up. So when I am not working, there I am.But they know where to find me (darn it LOL). My ladies are learning to sew. We got them little machines and they just completed tote bags. So my weekends are actually everyone else weekdays. Go figure
