I’m trying to finally get back into the groove of things here after my little vacation over the holidays. I’m finding it a little harder to find time to blog (and craft) during the week because work is keeping me busy, so I may have to play around with my schedule a bit. I hope you’ll bear with me if I do, until I find my feet again.

Finally Finished (something) Friday!!!
I got really tired of not having completed any projects lately, so last weekend I started yet another quick and simple project so that I could feel like I had accomplished something. I actually owed my sister a birthday gift, and way, way back in January (when her birthday actually was) she had picked out a couple of patterns. One was a hat, and the other was a pair of slippers. I haven’t gotten either of them done up until now, but on Sunday I sat down and started (and completed) her hat.
WIP Wednesday – October 25 2017
My crafting has been slower than usual lately. I’ve been putting in a few extra hours at work several days a week, and so my works in progress have suffered.
In recent weeks I finally finished my first quilt top, but now I need to get some practice doing some free motion quilting. I also need to practice my cutting and piecing skills to improve them before I start on my next (already selected) project.
My Next Quilting Project
For those of you who have been following along, you’ll know that I started my first ever quilt back in June when Tracy at It’s a T-Sweets Day! ran a beginner quilt along. I fell behind but my quilt top is done and waiting for me to sandwich all the layers together to begin quilting it.
WIP Wednesday – October 11 2017
Once again I missed my WIP post last week. I’ve trying to be consistent, but work is ramping up and sometimes I just don’t have the energy afterward to sit down and write a blog post. I will try to be better in future.
