It's March!!

March is coming in fierce here in Boston where I am visiting the youngest daughter.  they are calling Nor'easter.  There is nothing I dislike more than a cold wind and rain.

And with a new month that also means a new UFO project!!






So according to my list, my March Quilting UFO is  the Swedish Postcard quilt:


I finally found a quilt for this pattern when I was in Ft. Collins last summer.  I will have to find another project for this month as I am saving it for my April Quilt Retreat.


The knitting UFO for March is the 15th Street Wrap:


I have some wonderful yarn that I have had in my stash for quilt awhile and it will be perfect for this pattern.


My progress of the February UFOs have been a little slow.  I wanted to use my Cricut Maker to cut out all of the petals, leaves and center for my Sunflower Wall quilt.  Getting it upload to Design Space was just about as far as I got.  

The same goes for my knitting UFO.  I have started Madden's sweater but it became something totally different:


I am doing this in purple with a grey accent color. I am going have a lot of knitting to do to get this done by the end of March as well as the March UFO!!

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...

My first "I made it" week!!

  Well this was my very first "I made it" week and even though the weather wasn't the best I think it was a success.  Friday was my last day and as you can see from the collage above this was my choice for the day: Looks a lot like the pattern right?  This was so easy to put together especially since there wasn't a zipper.  This was cut as a size 8, something that I am still not used to.  I still add extra on the hips so I grade it out to a size 12.  My daughter would say that my clothes are too loose but I would say that they are nice and comfy!!  This pattern essentially has 2 collars to achieve the look.  I skipped the pockets.  I find that unless they are stitched down they usually add bulk to the sides.  I realize that most people leave reviews on the pattern and that is something that I have neglected to do so here goes.... Pattern sizing:  size 8 graded to a size 12'at the hips.  Did it look like the photo/drawi...

Sewing interruptions

Sometimes the sewing needs to get put aside for real life.  This is one of those times. My husband and I have lately been maniacs about our house remodel.  Early this year, what started out to be painting walls ended up in a total remodel of our upstairs... New doors, bathroom sinks, new bathroom floor, kitchen countertops, stained cupboards, kitchen tile etc etc It took us 7 months.  I thought we would take a break.  He wanted to redo the landscape in the front.   So out can 25 yr old bushes, a basketball goal etc etc I thought we would take a break.  Now we are repainting our house...in July...when the heat index is 110!! The mister clearly needs to leave town and quickly...  please someone call a water conference ASAP!!!
