Updated chart! =0)

Thanks to my friend Beth who played hostess for a fun crafty night; yesterday, I picked up a scarf I hadn't worked on in MONTHS!!! Made great progress on it and even more today. Yippie! 48 rows knitted up. I was seriously surprised that I was able to remember what some of the symbols meant on my chart. I copied it from a pattern I found online so I could travel with the project, but I didn't write down any sort of symbol key and I could not find the original  pattern to begin with. Crazy...Today brings progress on the scarf and on Chester! **gasp!** Maybe this year will be the year I finally finish it. That would be aweome!!! So much hand quilting going on. It's snowing to beat the band out...perfect day to stitch. I've got Stargate SG1 episodes playing. I miss that show...loved it! All of the Stargate stuff. Fun. =0)

My day off!

I'm making progress on stuff today! First up is the knitting project that I can't show you. lol! This one will be finished by the weekend or sure! =0) Next up on my list is Lincoln's Watch. Putting blocks together! Here's where I am so far. The top two rows are sewn but not sewn together. Sorry about the brightness. Would have been better on my design wall but that's full of blocks for another quilt. ;)

Projects I need to make PROGRESS on and my efforts to track it! 
There are more...I'm sure of it but this truely is enough! Eeek! I need to set some goals!!!

(GG, if you see this...I pilfered your chart since I couldn't find a way to make one in here!)   =0)

Staying Busy

It's been ages...and I do mean ages; since I've used this blog. Still deciding if I want to keep it or start from scratch. Where to start?

Everyone that might read this knows that Joe is now stationed in Alaska. Ick...missing him and looking forward to him being home again! But I'm keeping busy with church, work, quilting and knitting and hopefully soon...spinning! For Christmas, Joe bought me a working antique spinning wheel! I need to order new drive bands for it but then it should be up and running! New quilt in the works. I pulled the picture from redcrinolinequilts.com. Lincoln's Watch - I've been steadily making the light and dark blocks and setting them into rows and LOVING IT!!! I'd show you the knitting I'm working on but you'll have to wait since it's a belated Christmas present and I don't want to spoil the surprise. =0)

Resurrection?

Trying to decide if I want to resurrect this blog or start a completely new one. Hmmmm.....

Oops! & Happy St. Patrick's Day!

For each petal on the shamrock
this brings a wish your way-
Good health, good luck, and happiness
for today and every day.
