Back in the saddle again

Well, hi there!

Has it really been a year since I last had something to say? I always have something to say but I think I forgot that you would like to hear about.

What have I been up to? New job, ugh, new position at same company, sorta. I don't know what is going at my company and don't' want to guess so that is enough of that.

What have I been up to lately besides remodeling kitchen and loving on grandbaby? Sewing crazy stuff...taking a Craftsy class called Stupendous Stitches taught by Carol Ann Waugh. (Craftsy is awesome. Check it out if you haven't already.) Anyway, here is a close up of the first project I did. Supplies:fabric, batting, thread, more thread, still more thread, fancy sewing machine, yarn, colored pencils, markers, and fun. Will show you the finished project and the second one soon.

Thanks for stopping by. See you soon!

Don't you just love that phrase? It completely sums up my life lately.

I managed to lose my driver's licence. How you ask? Well, I NEVER take it out of my wallet. Ever. I had to take it out to show the nice people when I wanted to vote. I remember looking at it and thinking, "Wow, I have to get this renewed next year," and shoved it back in my purse. Didn't stick it back in its slot in my wallet. Just tossed it in because I was so eager to go vote.

Time passes.

I open my wallet yesterday and have an egads moment. My credit card and dl are missing. What?!?! So I found the credit card in the back pocket of my jeans where I stuck it when we gassed the car on Saturday. I could not begin to recall why I would have taken the card with the nifty picture out for. So I go on a treasure hunt. No good. Still can't remember why I would have taken it out. Did someone steal it? Nah. Ding! The light goes off as I am climbing into bed. Yeah...the voting people. Needless to say, looked in every handbag and every pair of pants and even stood on my head in the backseat of the car hoping that it would be somewhere. Nope. It has vanished off the face of the planet. So off I toddle  to the lovely DPS place, sans dl mind you. Fifteen minutes later I emerge from the place with two 8.5 x 11 pieces of paper that say I can drive ( hush kids) and off I go.

Lost my licence...face palm...

 Quilting news: Didn't get much done on the nutjob project I started. It is insane. The blocks are basically 6x6. I decided to make 150 of them in case I ddin't like all of them. They are foundation pieced using my scraps. It will be interesting but still...nutjob. Here is a few of the ones that are the farthest along

At least it matches the vision I have in my head. I am just impatient to get them done.

Taking a Craftsy class on designing modern quilts with Weeks Ringle. She gave a lecture I went to in Houston and got the chance to talk to her. Really liking the class.

Laters!
