Not all blocks are exactly the same so need to trim and figure out a plan

Do i make more blocks?

I am trying to organize my fabrics with kittens for my quilt

Hee hee

Awww. My Phoebe deebs

Whats stopped you and given you a chuckle or lift today?

How do you lift your own spirits?

When you are feeling down, how do you lift your spirits?

Do you go shopping?

Buy something extravagant?

Do you work on a new quilt?

I have been working more to get through thinking about things

Some thinking is good

Dwelling is not

So i decided to Clean out some old dark colors and replace with brighter ones

Out buffalo plaid shower curtain

In with a spring green  cheerier one

I even got the bathroom beads in green and my favorite scent......

Pine

Ah.....outdoors gal that I am

Look how professional looking my photo

Is getting 

LOL

A little staging I guess goes a long way.

What do you do to lift yourself?

We all need hints and tips these days

Have you lifted anyone today?

Including You?

Growing pains

This couch quilt started as a tease

From Julierose

You know....another squirrel tempter 

And I bit figuring worse case I could add to my extra parts container

But

They

Are

Easy

And

Addictive 

So one a day was fun

Fun to chose fabrics and visit my stash

Fun to see how many blues I really have

And they were like this.

Because I like scrappy quilts, they were busy 

So I auditioned a piece I found while cleaning 

I guess I should clean more huh

I liked the seperation 

And here is where we are today

I am pleased how it is coming along 

I think i will love it on my couch

Have you lifted anyone today?

I guess everything in life does have to be difficult

I am trying to move this along to flimsy stage

But someone........

Whose name I wont mention.....

But surveillance cameras have him on tape....

Someone .... doesn't want me to succeed

I am about halfway there  with the sashing

Then will add the sash to the left of the blocks and another  cornerstone

And sew up the rows

I marked the rows 1 thru 6 with a pin and paper so I can continue where I left off 

Just goes to show you

Sometimes life is way harder than it has to be 

Have you lifted anyone today?
