UFO #2 Done

I made the cross-stitch cardinals last year to sew into a journal cover. I finished it finally.

This week has been awful. Our vehicles are all down and we are going to be hitching a ride to work and school for awhile. Why are there no garages close by that can fix cars? I'm going to see if I can work from home for a few days.

UFO #1 Done

I finished this quilt top to send to Toni for three girls who lost their Mom. She asked for orphan blocks, but I volunteered to send her a quilt top. Just now got time to do it. These are the remainder of my birthday blocks from QOR in 2006. I made a quilt for my youngest GD from the other 20 blocks.

It's a New Year

I can't believe it is already 2011. Where does time go? What are my resolutions this year? I have 21 UFO's and I need to lose 21 pounds. I guess that is one resolution I need to make-- finish UFO's and lose weight. I made it through the holidays without gaining any weight, so now I just need to figure out how to lose again. I want to quit smoking this year, too. I am making a new journal for myself and am resolving to write in it each day. Four resolutions....sacred number, so I guess I'll stop there.

I'm working on a quilt top to send to Toni and should be done by this p.m. I finished another postcard to send to Judy, since her's got ruined by USPS. Today I also plan to finish my journal, my three calendar blocks that I didn't finish last year and put the binding on candlemats I made at Christmas.

I'm keeping my box of Christmas fabric by the sewing machine and plan to use it up this year. In other words, I'm doing Christmas sewing until it is all gone. I want to buy new fabric next Christmas. It looks like it will be Christmas 365 days this year. LOL.

Happy 2011 to everyone. Peace, love, health, happiness and prosperity to you all.
