"Do You Realize What You've Done?"

During a conversation I had recently with a good friend, she asked me "Do you realize what you have done in the last 6 months?" Not thinking I said "No, what" she started to remind me of all the things I have accomplished in the last 6 months. Wow, I have been productive! 

1) I started this Blog. 

2) I became Moderator for the Groups IO for Our Time To Quilt site as well as on the Live Streams on Sundays.

3) I helped Co-Create our Jitsi Sit N Stitch on the 3rd Saturday. That was such a hit with the ladies we are now have it on the 2nd & 3rd Saturday's of each month.

4) I began to Cross Stitch.

5) I began to work on applique with the button hole stitch.

6) I started Journaling in a Big Happy Planner.

7) I created a Project Happy Planner to keep track of my current  projects.

8) I became a Tester for The Quilt Pattern Magazine. Who would of guessed I would enjoy testing quilt patterns. Not Me!

9) I organized my sewing room, then decided it needed to be re-arranged to be more functional. 

10) Another good friend let me know that she started listening to BrenĂ© Brown. I let her know I remember hearing the name before but never listened to her. She told me to look up her podcast or on You Tube. I am glad I did. I realized I am my own worse enemy, in turn I found my Self-Worth again. Have I told you how lucky I am to have such great friends! 

Well I am going to sign off for now. I hope you are surrounded by people you love and who love you. 


Enjoy The Walk

Ok So I Totally Missed Posting In April

 I thought I would catch up with everyone seeing how I totally missed posting in April. I can tell Summer is around the corner life is getting to be busy again. We recently purchased 8 acres, what a ride that has been.

I just finished Rows 5 & 6 of the 9 Patch Row quilt, you guessed it Row 7 is already out. Row 8 is just around the corner. With all that is going on I am doing alright with keeping up with it. 

I also started working on Ladies Aid New York Sampler. These blocks are fun to stitch. I have block 1 done and will get block 2 started this week. So this block will be cut down to 15 1/2" an finish at 15". I haven't trimmed it yet. Row 2 has a Cow I can't wait to choose the fabric for it!










In between working on these lovely projects I am also working on a few 12 Days of Christmas gifts. I am not able to share those with you though as the person receiving them reads my blog. 

Well I know the post was a short one but I have a million things going right now and have to run. 


Enjoy The Walk
