Monday, Monday- don't trust that day!

Hey all in blog land, hope everyone's week is off to a good start. Mine hasn't been too bad- had a long day at work and then a Mary Kay party!

This month has been crazy busy so far- did get some crafting done and hope to get some more done before the end of the month. I have one quilted pillow pieced and stenciled and ready to hand quilt.

We did have our first garden harvest of salad and radishes this weekend- makes me VERY excited for the summer.

I have fallen behind on my blog surfing so I need to catch up some time this week! Happy stitching and crafting to everyone!!

Ahh- it has almost been a month since I have last posted- too much going on lately I geuss. I have been able to keep up on browsing other blogs, just haven't had time to post!

The biggest news is that we have a new addition to the family this weekend- Penny! She is a 7 week old vizsla and she is just precious. Scout was a little jealous at first but now she is getting used to her- cuddling on the couch with each other right now.

This is Scout and her playing in the back yard this afternoon.

Review my goals-
1.Quilt 30 squares- Did better than that- progress going good! 146/320 - 45% done!! I got 53 squares done this month

2. Finish Hunting Companions- this is my husband's goal for me, as the piece is for him.- Didn't finish this one- but I did get quite a bit done. Here is a pic of my progress- you can almost tell it is going to be a dog!
3. Keep training for triathlon- not a craft goal but has to be done :)- Been doing pretty well with this, I did get sick during the last week of March and training was put on hold but now I am back in the swing of things!
And to wish everyone happy spring I will post a picture of the beautiful flowers that Bret planted for me several years ago.

April Goals-
1. 30 quilt squares
2.Trey's birthday present
3.Quilted pillow for couch
4.Triathlon training

Happy St. Patrick's Day- My TU SAL is only a few days late!

Well, maybe my TU SAL is 3 days late- but here it is: Not too colorful- mostly white thread from my quilt basting- I am finding I don't have too many ORTs because I stitch down to the very end of the thread.
Isn't everyone glad March Madness is here! Go K-State Wildcats!!

I have been working on my quilt lately, its not done, but sometimes Scout likes to use it to cuddle her!!


Today I got the Bunny Binky Pattern from mmmcrafts.blogspot.com. I am very excited to work on this pattern and I think my nieces are going to get some cute presents in this coming year :)

This embroidery transfer below I am excited about- going to put these patterns on some denim squares to make a quilt- but that is a few projects down the road.


Thanks for visiting my blog and happy stitching/quilting!!!

Wow it is March- in like a lamb so far!

Review of last month's goals:

TUSAL for Feb 14th and Mid-month update

Well first things first, here is my ORT jar for the new moon. Only a day late. I didn't really forget yesterday, just had too much going on. Took my nephews to see the Percy Jackson movie and cooked a roast chicken dinner for my family.


I have been making progress this month on a few things.. stitching on my vegetable wreath and quilting.

Here is my most recent progress on the vegetable wreath and what it was like at last update.

The progress on the quilting has been good d/t the SuperBowl and Olympics. I can quilt pretty fast while watching sporting events.... Not that I stay really in tune with the sporting evens. Anyway, the progress was 32/320 squares at the end of January and now it is 52/320 - 16%.

On Saturday I had Craft Day with my Mom and my sister.. Our main goal was to finish stockings for the family and we did it! We made 12 stockings to add to the ones my sisters had made a few years ago. They are all finished... This is my mom with the finished project.




I also working on Bret and my scrapbook for Valentine's day at craft day!

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone and have a great rest of February!
