Dreams and Projects

After a lovely vacation Christmas with some of our kids and grandkids in the warmer climate of Pennsylvania, a tour of George Washington's boyhood home on the Potomac, and yondering in southern West Virginia, 


we're home to snow, snow, and more snow.


Mom is with us for awhile and got rather sick with a nasty cold, so I've been tending her and haven't really had time for sewing yet. But she's doing better now, so I hope I can spend a little time downstairs in the sewing room. That's somewhat dependent upon how well Lovey is doing, too, since he caught the nasties.

So, here are the tentative goals for this week:

In the sewing room
* Sew as many white borders as possible on diamond blocks for this baby quilt for granddaughter due in February:



* Do a hopeful 20 minutes per sewing session of taming the scrap piles

In the knitting basket
* Finish the current dishcloth (for myself)

In the embroidery box
* Prep fabrics for Jennifer Reynolds' Sewing Room BOM & trace pattern
* Maybe even finally draw the lines on the old Everyday Embroidery that has been in the goal planning so many times but sadly neglected. 

For the Home
* Get back to using a menu
* Start little-by-little decluttering and dusting in bedroom

On the Homestead
* Collect quail eggs for incubation
* Attach feeder to new quail grow-out cage
* Maybe send some quails to freezer camp

This may be an overly ambitious list, but "nothing ventured, nothing gained." So, I'm off to see what I can do.

Have a beautiful week!
