Hi everyone!
Gosh, it took me a while to read all the posts I missed over on the other thread and then I got to the last page that said Jane started a new post.
Yikes! I was lost for a little while, didn't think I was going to find the new thread. Glad I found you guys!!
Thanks Jane for keeping this going!!
I don't quilt but,.....I have made two "Quilts in a Day" by Burns/Barns? and had fun making those. The things you girls do with lots of pieces, I'd be so lost. I still enjoy listening to everyone talk about their quilts. I love going to the quilt show they have here once a year.
Jane-- Got the switch plates finished and the lady wants them. They will be going to Canada. I just varnished a single switch plate that I based black and then I added a vine with pink roses on it. Turned out pretty cute. Kinda "shabby". Will list it in my booth next week.
Working on a Spring sign now for a repeat lady who enjoys my style. I'm painting Daffodils for the first time. Hope I can do justice to the sign. Will add bumble bees with their little trails.
Have a lady who would like some special pins for her quilt sewing group in SD. Another lady wants more ornaments for guests at her B&B. She gives them an ornament when they leave....they're small enough to fit in the luggage. How sweet is that?
One of these days I have to start on new ornaments! Working on more than two things at the same time makes me.
I'll do anything to keep painting if it takes my mind off snacking. Since I'm home all day it's hard to stay out of the kitchen. I've been doing good though on my plan and schedule 3 meals and 2 snacks, plus all my water.
We joined the YMCA last week, and I've had so much fun taking the water aerobics classes, plus I added 2 days last week of swimming laps.
If I miss the class, I do my own movements in the water. Had a walk through yesterday to learn the beginners weight machines. Thought it was time for a little resistance training. Just trying to tone and make a little more muscle. Got to do all we can, right? Hoping that going to go to the Y at least 4 times a week, will help me lose the last few pounds.
I'm below what's posted, but have to go in and move my little bee to a bit less. Yippee!!
I keep
along. A little at a time.
Some of you are having pretty cold days and lots of snow. Stay warm and drive safe. We're getting rain today, but should be gone by tomorrow afternoon. Saw the news last night and there were some bad mud slides down in the canyons where they had the "station fire" this past summer.
I'm ready for the spring too! I can't wait to buy some annuals for the flower bed. But we don't do that till April usually.
Nice to visit and read all your posts. Enjoyed all of them!
