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.
