Home Alone

Ahh..my last weekend to be home alone.  I don’t get alone time very often, and I love every minute of it!  This morning I got up early, got my chores done, and started stitching.

Have you seen this pattern?  It’s from Moda Bake Shop, and it’s very simple!  I was going to make 2 because I had plenty of fabric, but I made 4 instead.  I bought the fabric last week when Di forced me to go shopping.  LOL!

I also bought this fabric last weekend.I had seen this on Jenny’s blog, and knew I MUST have one.

I just have to get a hanger for it, and I’ll have no excuses for not being able to locate my crochet hooks. 

This baby quilt was finished last week, for May OPAM.  I finished it on my lunch hour on Friday, but I was headed out of town after work, and didn’t get a chance to post a picture.

I’ve spent much of my time this weekend working on the SAL from Blackbird Designs.  I’m starting to feel pressured, because I know some stitchers have finished already.  Must.  Stitch.  Faster….   I’m not including a picture because I roll the fabric as I stitch, and it is not attractive at this point.

Because Mr. QD has been away, there has been no kayaking the last two weekends.  But I managed to fit in some hiking, sight seeing, and picture taking.  I leave you with these photos from yesterday.

  17. I love the dragonfly, Sunny! Just remember that your stitching is meant to be enjoyable, not pressured, don't worry about the other people who are further ahead of you!

  19. You know your blog is just like you... Sunny! :o) I always love the gorgeous photographs you take of places you visit. Great work on your sewing projects. Like Anthea said... don't be pressured into stitching quickly on that SAL... it'll spoil your enjoyment of it.
