Current WIP

First, thanks for hanging in there while I'm unable to attend to my blog.  It's the little things, like a power cord that no longer works.  What a pain, I used up all my battery power and now my laptop is just a big paperweight.

I'll get another cord but I'm trying to live without it.  This will be the 3rd one!

I can play on the internet though with my little playbook (which until this point was just for reading Kobo books) but it's not really helpful for taking photos and then putting them on my blog.

Do Me a Favour

Google (or Bing or whatever you search with) Sieglinde Schoen Smith.

You have now met the quilter that I want to become.

WOW!

I can barely stand it.  How amazing are these appliqued quilts!  

What do you think, is it even possible?  Wow.  Just wow.

Ps:  it's snowing again, where the heck is Spring!!!!

UFO finished!

It's a good Sunday at my house!  Last weekend I was tidying my cross stitch basket, planning my life, you know how it goes.  Anything that wasn't actual housework.

I came across an old UFO from about 3 years or so ago.  I had bad feelings over it, and wasn't really interested in finishing it.  I was preparing to remove it off my scroll frames when I received some great words of wisdom from my daughter.  How is it that sometimes a 12 year old knows more then a 41 y.o.?  She inspired me to work on it again

April 1st in the Yukon

I know, I ignore you all for days and days and then post twice in one day.  I think I'm back in the blogging groove!!

I just wanted to share some pics my daughter just took this morning when she took the dogs out for a walk.  I think I'm just going to go buy some flowers from the grocers and carry them around with me.  That may keep me going till spring really gets here.  It's been snowing all night and all day!!!!  (not that the flakes show up in the photos)

My Sewing Plans

Ok, I feel safe talking about this here because my two special friends do not visit my blog.  I'm not even sure they even know I have a blog!   That's ok, because it is a good thing as I can share my secret surprise with all of you over the coming months.  I'll need the motivation LOL.

We (my family) have these friends that we are really close with.  Dave and Sandy.  For almost 10 years now!  They are older then us and have become like family (since our family is so far away).  We watch their dogs

Happy Easter!

All the best to you!

Spring is in the air, the snow is melting, I filled the bird feeders for the first time this year and our cat is out stalking sunpatches.  He's a bit too heavy to walk on the snowbanks so he's hopping from a less snowed area to another.  Like a fat grumpy bunny LOL.

Have a wonderful day everyone,

Vivian

I don’t have pictures but…

I'm on a sewing roll!

My curvy cakes top is pieced and I just need to find the backing.  YAY!  It was only a tiny bit troublesome, getting it to lay flat because of all the freestyle curve cutting I did.  Oh well, I will just have to quilt the heck out of it LOL!

I also pulled out my Forest Fandango UFO and made a life changing decision.  I wasn't going to finish it as planned.  I want a wallhanging.  So I used my snowball blocks and I hope to soon have a fresh Spring feeling wallhanging.

M.I.A.

Yes, I've been M.I.A.  Between not being home, work, stress, etc. who has had time to keep up with the blog!!!   Not Me, that's for sure.  It's been a chore to even take photos to share.  Life shouldn't be a chore, so if I disappear once in a while, it's probably just too hard for me to uncover my laptop.

In an effort to get back into organizing my creative life, I'm cleaning up the laptop.  Tidying up stray shortcuts, deleting photos of nothing (really?  is that a fuzzy thumb or the 118th photo of the same piece

Update on Red and Aqua

Well this is just too cute.  Who knew I would love red and aqua so much???


I'm not done piecing, I still have to add a border.  I will have to take the top as it is to the local quilt shop to audition some border fabric.  Gotta love an excuse to visit the shop!!!

I didn't want to cut up the fabric too much, and I always love whipping together a Suduko quilt top, I try to make each one
