March Opam finish

Another Opam finish, this is a wool table mat that was cut out and set aside for a few years, I;m so glad I finished it as it lends a little spring flair even tho they are predicting snow for us on Thursday night.
Not sure why my pics are posting sideways if anyone knows and can tell me how to fix I would appreciate it.

Opam finishes for Febraury

Finished these wool mittens in February, I am posting from hubbies computer as I am having trouble downloading pics on mine. These were fun to do, and they are now no longer classified as ufo's.
I am trying to finish up older projects before starting any new ones.

Opam finishes for January

I have finally fixed the problem I hope with uploading pictures again. Here are two pillows that I finished in January, I know these are late posting and that doesn't bother me in the least at least I can post, and I finished to ufos in January! Yeah for me! Tomorrown I will post my February finishes, and a quilt I am working on for Louise, her quilts are always so pretty. It's about time I started posting again, spring is in the air and I feel the need to create and update.

Time for reflection

Time.,... Oh how I wish I had more, seems lately there is never enough time. Time to spend visiting friends and family, time to sew, time to work, clean, cook.
Today I will take time, I will prioritize, I will go to my sewing room and finish the last quilt for this year! :)
This afternoon I will decorate the last tree and finish putting up the last of the decorations, put a nice meal in the crock pot. Tonight I will begin celebrating the season for what it is. I will relax with hubby, watch a Christmas  movie, and wait for it......ahhhhh I will relax. I will not worry about what needs doing. I will enjoy the season for what it is Time... to spend with family & friends, time to relax and enjoy little girls and little boys smiles, time to enjoy the message of Christmas! Happy Holidays & Merry Christmas to all of you.

I'm back

Yes I am back, had the knee surgery on Thursday, and now I am at home recouping, getting physical therapy which is a blessing. I miss my machine and sewing room but it gives me a goal to work towards.
Today my to oldest daughters will come and have dinner, this is a good thing I think dad needs a break, he is a worry wart when it comes to me. While the girls are here I will have them pull a few things downstairs for me to stitch on, I need to do something when I am not doing my exercises.
Thanks to all who popped in on my blog and wished me well.... now come on knee get moving there is  to much stuff to finish in my sewing room.
Have a wonderful day.

knees knees knees

Tomorrow will be my last day of work for the Summer, I will be having knee replacement surgery on July 8th. Lately all I think about is knees, you know crazy things. Bees Knees, Knee Jerk, the knee bone connects to the shin bone, deep knee bends,  head shoulders knees and toes..... I know crazy, I think this is what is keeping me calm. I was to have double knee replacement, but Doc wants to try other treatments on the left knee for now so it will be just the right knee for now.
I need to put together some hand work to do while I am recuperating, and I just can't seem to find the time to do this....Let me know if you can come up with any other knee sayings I think I will keep a list.
That's all for now.

the quilters closet

Barb from bejeweled quilts, showed us her stash a little while ago.. now we all know we have stashes so I decided to take a look at mine.

This picture is of my quilt closet, yes I have a closet designated just for quilts. The funny thing is even though I quilt for others most of these that have yet to be quilted belong to me. I counted 4 quilts for customers in the front, and hold your breath 37 quilts of my own (these are just the ones hung up).

every hanger you can see has a quilt on it, there are probably another 10 in there that are my mothers. I'm sorry Mom I will try to get to some of yours soon. I can't even begin to look at the ufo's and fabric stash right now.
