Thursday Thoughts...

Some days it's just nice to share some random thoughts, so here is this week's top 10:

1. The pillow I made at my quilt retreat looks great on the rocking chair!

2. Do you know that you spend a large part of your waking hours in your office? Why not make it a little more bearable? I love to surround myself with wall hangings that reflect the season.

3. Every once in awhile I do a little embroidery work for some of my daughters friends. I hope her dot likes it.

4. I got quite bit done on my October sewing to-do list... now if I can only get started on that Style Arc Estelle pattern! After making a black one and an olive one for daughter #1, I thought I needed one too!

I bought 3 shades of refined ponte from Joann's (blue, black and olive). Do you I might be overdoing it?

5. Daughter #1 came home and she and Daughter #3 gave Daughter #2 a wonderful baby shower. I will do a post on that...

6. Am I the only one that spends time on the internet looking a pinterest and blogs looking for quilting and sewing inspiration? As if I need to add more to my to-do list!

Here we are again...

As I started my blog adventures again, I decided to spend a few posts reflecting on life during the hieght of the pandemic. But now, after a few months of various vaccines being available, and a few months of mask mandates being lifted and the hope of life returning to normal.... mask mandates are now coming into effect again. There is a surge in variants of COVID, especially the "Delta variant". There are increases in those testing postive and increases in those being hospitalized. At this time only 45% of Kansans and 50% of the US population are vaccinated. We are a long ways from herd immunity people!! On Friday K-State issued the mask mandate again just as employees are heading back to campus today. USD383 issued a mask mandate for everyone and as far as I can tell when kids return in the fall: I just feel like we are going backwards instead of forwards. Most of those that are being hospitalized are those who are not vaccinated and many of them ar...

Another trip last fall , this time Boston

As soon as I got home from NY last November, I turned around and left for Boston, to visit the Princess. It was so nice to see her again. I came in on Thursday and left on Sunday. It was another short visit, but we sure packed a lot in! It was bitterly cold in Boston, in fact it was the coldest all year and they were setting records for low temperatures in the evening. But that did not stop us from venturing out! On Friday she took me on a tour of her school and her classroom. And as we were leaving I got to meet the teacher she is working with. The school is so convenient, just a short 15 minute walk from their apartment. We also explored Brookline a neighborhood that is just a few blocks from them. It is full of wonderful restaurants and cute boutiques. We found a knitting store and some wonderful children's stores. It was so hard not to buy a bunch of things for the grand!! We stopped and had lunch, and thawe...

And the UFO for May Is....

I've been a little busy so there are lots of things for me to catch up on. First of all I did not get much done on the UFO Challenge for April. I did get some baby booties done and delivered. I do hope that the moms will send me pictures of their little ones with cute little feet. As far as quilting is concerned.. not much got accomplished in April, maybe May will be more productive. The UFO for May is..... And according to my lists this is what I have scheduled..... The good news is that I started my LOVE quilt in March when I was on the quilt retreat. The LOVE blocks are all done. I have a few more small squares to cut up but then I should be able start sewing on it again. Knitting is always difficult. I should of worked on the cowl while I was on a conference last week but I needed to get some booties done for some upcoming new mamas. Because of this week long conference, I have had a chance to get lots of knittin...
