TO DO Tuesday # 97

My short list was accomplished, just in the nick of time! I’m sharing over at Texas Quilt Gal! Thanks Linda for continuing to host this event! 

1. Purple HST ✅ 

2. Purple Happy Blocks. ✅ only 3 but there will be 5 

3. At least two Triple Treat blocks that are the current L&E block from Bonnie Hunter. ✅

These will be on going. They take some time. I don't love cutting tiny 1.5" squares for the 4-patches. 

My to-do list for the week of 7-19 to 7-26 is short also.  We have added going to Rec Center to our agenda. We walk in the Lazy River M.W. F.  

1. Sew the last two Happy Blocks that are cut.

2. Work on Table Scraps: purple circles, or dots or spots

3. Write an OMG finish post.

4. Clean off the cutting table, while continuing to cut part sfor Triple Threat.

Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy!

 

RSC22 July. Purple post #1

Not very much was accomplished last week.  I did get 24 HST made.

 These will be the July purple zigzag row. I have to decide on a final arrangement, then number them. Otherwise I tend to sew the wrong sides together. It must be a bit of “cognitive decline” as my sister used to say!  :).    I’m missing her lots lately!

I’m also sewing tiny 1.5” square into four patches to make Bonnie Hunter’s Triple Threat blocks. I’m using them as Leaders and Enders. This is BH’s 11th free pattern for leader and enders!  I haven’t done them all, but I have done some. See her other ones in her free pattern tab at the top of her blog. 

Oh look! There is one purple one! 

I’m linking up with Angela at ScrapHappy Saturday! Hop on over there to see all the purple scrappiness!  

Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy!

 

I LIKE Thursday. # 102 Actually!

Joining LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color and other friends to share some LIKES today. 

I finally finished this book!  I enjoyed it. 

I’ve read the first two in this series and have met the author. The setting is familiar to me. I’ve been to Crow Agency and Pine Ridge Reservations. I was raised in Rapid City SD, so those things made reading this book fun! 

I took a picture of the "Buck Moon", but alas my iPad did not do it justice. It was awesome.  Did you see it from where you live?

Some zigzags were finished. Purple ones are in the queue!

and a small shelving unit was added in my small bathroom. A space for the flosser and my basket of curling irons!  

Mr. Busy and DS worked on this when DS was visiting last week. 

You have to look for the little things to be grateful for .  And I definitely am!

Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy!

July One Monthly Goal!

I didn’t have a June OMG. We had an unplanned trip to Florida to help our daughter come back home. There was lots of driving, reshuffling of priorities and some family drama! Our son came for a visit the first week of July and there was much fun sharing tasks, food, and memories. Hopefully July will have a success or two! 

My goal seems small, but it will help me reach a “back to normal” status!

My OMG for July is to cut and sew 24 HST in purple/ light. And combine them into a Zigzag row to be added to the others for a RSC 22 quilt. 

In addition, the green HSTs made in May, (and 10 more, it seems) need to be made into a row. 

I’ll see if I can link this post with Patty’s goal setting post at Elm Street Quilts, on Monday the 11th.  I’m late, but I think she will add it to the Linky party if the link is closed. 

Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy!

I LIKE Thursday ..Busy, Busy, Busy!

I’m enjoying having both our children here this week.    ILT#101

Today there will be a Birthday Party for a Little. I’ll be decorating, wrapping presents and  making food!

I’ll see you all next week! Have a great weekend! 

Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy!

To do Tuesday #95

I'm joining Linda at Texas Gal to share my meager to do list and what I hope to accomplish next week.   But let's see what was going on last week.

1. Sew blue/white HST into blocks, then a row!   Some blocks are done. No row yet! 

2. Company is coming….get ready! ✅  our son has joined us for a week!  We’ve had such a good time!

DS and DD at a local wood fired pizza place! Yum!

3. Put out 4th of July decor. ✅

4. Decide OMG? TSC22?  This still needs to be done! 

So not much progress on my to-do list, but Mr. Busy’s list had been dwindling!  Weeds treated, lawn mowed, backyard cleaned up of hail debris! Two cars washed, shelf unit built for our bathroom. 

My list for the upcoming week. 

1. Prep for birthday party for Great granddaughter, Miss B! 

2. Finish blue zig zags

3. Start cutting purple for RSC22 

4. Write an OMG post!

Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy!
