What I'm Working On and Catching Up

Oh I had such grand plans for this summer.  I had my summer all mapped out.   The three quilts I was determined to finish this summer, all that wonderful fabric I was going to use. The yard work I was so looking forward to each morning. Getting a head start on product for my fall/Christmas craft show.  Getting back into my craft room and working with photos and paper.  Then there was some house projects.

Yes I had my summer all planned, and it was all going so well until the morning I was working in the yard and fell.

Yes my "Summer To Do List" came to a screeching halt when I broke my right wrist.  One good thing well there is more than one, I am ambidextrous.  I do a lot of things left handed but I sure have learned just how right handed I am.  My left handed writing has improved greatly the last two weeks.  :-)

Well since a person can only rest so long before start cleaning out drawers and closets.  I am pulling out all my holiday fabric.  Halloween, Fall and Christmas Fabric piled stacked and sorted on table.

Doing an inventory of sorts and making a a list of product ( on yellow pad, left-handed)  to make for show and if the Doctor cooperates I'll be sewing up a storm in August,

I think sometimes it takes something drastic like this to make us examine our lives.  I try to do this often but like others it's hard for me to slow down or just stop and step back to see the big picture.  So I need to be thankful for this inconvenience. Learn some lessons and don't go fabric shopping on the internet.  Oh and those three quilts I was determined to finish this summer, they'll be here in the fall and they will get done in their own time.

Stash Report Week 28, 2015

Not a whole lot happening here. I'll explain tomorrow.

I bought fabric in June for a Christmas gift quilt and I made several 4th July pillows but it didn't even out.

At this time last year I had use 47 yards more than I had brought in.  Which makes this weeks numbers a sad comparison.  There is still a chance I could break even at the end of the year, but that is not my goal.  The goal is to use it up and I see by not keeping up with my stash report I'm not using what I have.  Also have some things that just need to be finished up.  August is going to be big numbers for me.  Honest.

Added since last report: 11.75 Yards

Added this Year: 114.00 Yards

Used since last report: 4.50 Yards

Used this Year: 41.50 Yards

Net Used this Year: -72.50 Yards
