Sunday Reports Week 12

My computer is acting up, so I am going to keep this brief. It hasn't been a good week on the sewing front, or any front for that matter. Hopefully, next week will be better, but then again....

I think my computer will go to the shop tomorrow. I hope I have it out by the end of the week. If not, I'll see if I can post on Hubby's computer.

It's Time for Sunday Sewing Reports for Week 11

Hubby was gone all week and I planned to get so much done, or at least so much more than I actually did. It was an enjoyable week, eating what I wanted to eat and when I wanted to eat it - that's always a treat. Watching chick flicks every evening while I sewed. But the downside was the loneliness and I was happy to see him pull into the driveway on Friday evening.

One thing I planned to do, but didn't do, was work on my OMG quilt project. I just never made it upstairs. After working in the house all day, I just wanted to relax in front of those chick flicks at night. So no fabric used this week. I don't know why I even bother to put this report on here each week since it hasn't changed since the first of the year. I kept up my yearly success rate with my cross stitch project and was happy to see it come back up with regular stitching.

Sunday Reports for Week 10 of 2019

I don't know about your weather, but ours has run the gamut this week. Freezing for a couple of days, then hot, then high winds and rain, then no wind. Well, no wind one evening. Wind is just a given here, especially this time of year.

I feel better about this week as far as sewing goes. I must have slept funny last Sunday night, and my back has been hurting all week, so I've been sitting more than usual, thus more sewing. I was finally able to get in a full week of sewing, one day was even with the sewing machine. That brought my success rate up above my goal level too. I didn't have any fabric usage though because I just made replacement cloths for my Swiffer mop. So much better than the paper mop pads!

This week I am going to attempt some Ikea kitchen cabinet building. People who have done it say it is harder than other Ikea products, so I am only going to try two. For those of you who have followed my other blog for awhile, I know your eyebrows probably raised when I said Ikea. I know. We did too. We were going to build all our cabinets, but the building has slowed to a crawl again. With Hubby's work and travel schedule, his mother's health, and my eyes, we decided that we would use a mix of Ikea cabinets and custom.

When we were building the closet shelves, I asked Hubby if he would like to have some drawers in the closet for socks, etc. He said yes, then paused, and said, "Wait, do I have to build drawers?" That's when I knew Ikea would make our life easier.

March One Monthly Goal

My February One Monthly Goal was to make the backing, binding, and five pillow cases for my Depression Block Quilt. I didn't get one thing done on that list, so it will be my March OMG too. Hubby has another business trip this month and hopefully I won't have to work on the house while he is gone this time.

I will continue to work on my cross stitch project a few evenings a week, but I'd like to put it on the back burner for awhile. One thing I have discovered about myself is that the more projects I have going, the less likely I am to finish any of them. For February, I'd like to concentrate on finishing the Depression Block Quilt.

Week 9 Sewing Reports of 2019

What a week! Hubby was on a business trip for a few days and I thought I would get soooo much done. I did get some work done on the closet. Or reworking. Too bad there isn't a woodworking equivalent to a seam ripper. I spent another day with my mother-in-law and one day shopping for tile. That'll eat up a day or two.

With every evening free, I got in quite a bit of cleaning and hand stitching, so my stitching report is back at my goal of 70%. I almost bought some fabric while I was in Waco, but I didn't really have time to go to a fabric store and I wanted to double check my stash before I accidentally bought some of the same colors. So my stash report still hasn't changed.
