Beginning a New Obsession.

It's not much, but it's the beginning of something totally new and exciting to me.



Quilting.

What you are looking at is the beginning of a quilt. I started taking a class at my LQS. The shop is literally about 2 miles away from my house. This could be horrible for my budget. It could be wonderful for my sanity.

I tend to get cranky if I go too long without engaging in some form of artistic expression. Like, emo kid cranky, wallowing and dragging myself around the house cranky. No one likes me that way. Not even me.

The class I'm taking is an 8 week class that I am taking with my mother and my grandmother, which to me makes it that much more fun. This week we went over cutting our fabric. Which is why that picture kind of makes no sense. What's bagged up is for my own organizational purposes. The flowery print is for my border and we've been told not to touch it since it's lesson 5. I have to admit. I'm itching to do more.

I pretty sure I am now hooked. Thanks Allegory! (p.s. if I go broke on fabric I'm blaming you)

Once again there is no news regarding other projects because one of my jobs tends to take up a good bit of free time. I have a three week period that starts on Monday that should give me enough time to get all caught up and ahead so I can stop running around like crazy.

I've been browsing lace patterns looking for something light and pretty to make for winter. So far I've found nothing I like enough to use the lace yarn I've been hoarding. I shall continue searching and post pictures as soon as I get started.

For now though I am off to make yummy pork chops with maple apples and cheesy grits for dinner. Hubby will be full and happy tonight.

Alone and loving it.

It's Friday. My darling hubby who I love more than any man (even David Tennant) is off at a bachelor party. This leaves me at home to my own devices, and in case you were wondering, while I will miss my hubby I will not waste this wonderful time. I love my husband very much and I do enjoy his company. I do, however, enjoy the occasional evening I have to myself. I get to knit, sew, read, watch girlie movies and pretty much do whatever I want. What am I doing tonight?

Washing fabric. I am starting a quilting class on Monday and I need to get my fabric all washed before then. Wonder what else I'm doing?



Eating pie!



Lemon Meringue Ice Cream Pie. I made it on Wednesday and it's been lovely. We sliced it before I could get a picture made. I also made butterscotch fudge brownies but they don't look as impressive as this homemade pie. I even made the lemon curd from scratch.

Besides laundry and pie I made myself dinner, have been watching Netflix programming Curtis doesn't like, and plan on reading for the rest of the evening. I might even work on my sock in progress.

Tonight. Is. Awesome.

one day my ducks will be in a row

I actually forgot to blog..... for reals. I got a last minute part time job offer that requires quite a bit of preparation on my part and I literally threw the blog to the back of my mind. I have nothing picture wise to post today for I am terribly behind.

Hubby and I went to the mountains last week for a short vacation. There will be pictures soon. I signed up for a quilt class today that starts on the 22nd. I'm quite excited to begin that. Tomorrow is my day off so between preparations for this coming Monday and paying some attention to my home environment I might get around to posting some pictures. Hopefully. I say I'm going to get up early to accomplish something, however the warmth and comfort of my bed come morning may prove too much for me to resist. I'm bad about that.

Tomorrow shall hopefully bring, pictures, progress and cookies.
