Yikes! I have been neglecting my blog, and my
stitching. The beautiful weather has
meant yard work and running my boys from point A to point B. The week has been fun and eventful, but it has
not allowed a lot of computer time.
Highlight of the Week: Spending the 4th of July with
great friends. My husband’s best friend
since about 3rd grade married my college roommate, and their
children are very close in age to Monkey (15) and Mutt (12). (Someday, I will have to share about their
nicknames.) We all had a wonderful
visit.
Last Week’s Goals (July 3-9):
Writing: 500 words (beginning word count 3387) – Failed. I think the writing may have to wait for this
fall, when the weather is not so nice and I am inside more often!
Running: Run 4 days (3-4 miles) – Failed. I did run 3 days, from 20 - 48 minutes. When I put together my running schedule, I actually created two of them - the one I should probably try to follow to
ease back into the habit, and the one I wanted to be able to do now. This week I ended up compromising between
the two. My body made it pretty clear this week that I should stick with 3 days a week for a bit longer.
Sewing: Cut strips for vines on unfinished quilt top – DONE!
Crazy
Quilt: Continue working on January block –
DONE!
This Week’s Goals (July 10-16):
Running: ??? 1-2 days (depends on my leg...)
Sewing: Cut leaves out and begin adhering stems and leaves to
quilt top. Purchase enough green thread
to stitch them on.
Crazy
Quilt: Finish winter! As crazy as it sounds in the midst of summer,
I told my husband I thought winter was killing me. The fabric I have been stitching it on is so
fluffy that it covers part of the stitches, making them appear very
uneven. It has been so tricky that I have
been rethinking my font idea for the word “January.” We shall see…
Round
Robin: Mail block to its first crazy
quilter! I cannot believe my first round
robin through Crazy Quilting International is about to begin.
