things went well yesterday...


I started adding the logs to the maple leaves yesterday. The pattern calls for one more row of logs. But I like it with just the two.
These were stacked up while I think.


This only needs one more seam and the corners added. 
Then borders, still thinking on that one.

We are still in blizzard warning. Not much snow has fallen. But the NW winds will pick up and we will be falling back into the cold arctic air. I will mostly stay in and sew some more.

in the middle of all kinds of things.....


My cousin called me tonight. She told me I hadn't blogged since the panda bear at the end of December.
Really?? I checked. She was right.
I couldn't believe it.
I finished making maple leaves. It will be a log cabin type setting. I am in the middle of adding the logs. But I put those aside to work on....


A t-shirt quilt for Crispy's girlfriend. 
I ran out of interfacing for the backs. Another project on hold. 
Although I could start making the columns with what is ready.

Or, here is something else to work on....


The tea-towel quilt. I have thought about this a lot. I think I have a plan now.
Just can't bring myself to cut and commit. 



Then there is always my contracted braille class.


At the rate I am going it will take me a couple years to finish this.
I love doing it, but it really takes all of my concentration to get the lesson ready to mail.
Then I am on pins and needles waiting to hear from the instructor. 
I've been doing pretty good, so far. My lowest grade is a B+,
I always think...this will be the perfect assignment....but no, I mess up something.

We are in a blizzard watch. I was totally unaware of this until I talked to my cousin.
It is also the weekend. One or more of these projects will get worked on!
