Sorry to have been so quiet on the blog front. You know the old story; life gets busy. Work is crazy. Blah, blah, blah. With all that going on in my family life, no sewing happening. I did take some time to work on 2 more barn blocks for my little wallhanging that I'm doing but decided that I will show you my completed (but not quilted) progress of a filmsy top. So you will have to wait a little longer for any sewing progress pics.
What else? Oh. I have 3 personalized pillows to get done for next weekend so Punk is going to my Mom's for the weekend this week to give me some quiet sewing time. She's looking forward to the sleep over and I'm looking forward to a whole Saturday of nothing but sewing. I had planned on tearing apart my closet and Punk's linen closet but those boring chores can wait. I want to sew. That is my priority.
Did everyone have a nice Easter? We sure did. Eat too much but had a great day. My husband made it out of hiding too. He was down and out for 4 days last week with a terrible head cold. For him to spend almost 2 days in the house, in bed? He must have really felt lousy. Between work and caring for Punk, I played nursemaid to my whining husband. I'm glad he is feeling better though. Double glad that I'm not sick nor Amelia. We can do without it, thanks.
Remodel update? Ummm. Since my husband was ill, nothing progressed there. Walls are painted in the dining room. Our new dining room lighting was put up (my husband did it in between feeling better and not feeling better). Flooring is still not in. Fingers crossed that he finds time this month to do it. I'm really hoping he will. I'm tired of looking (and walking on) the sub-floor when I know my beautiful hardwood flooring is in the garage. Our new back deck is staked out. Maybe by the end of the summer that will be put in. I need to clone my husband. I hate to push him to get these projects done because I know he is busy. But it would make me feel so much better to get my house in order the proper way and just be DONE with it all!
And that is that. You have a run-down of everything that has been going on the last few weeks.
I should have something sew-y goodness to show you this weekend. I have to dig in my stash for some fabrics for some upcoming fun but you'll have to wait to hear more about that. ;)
Enjoy your day!
Jen :)

ReplyDeletegood to see you back here!
ReplyDeleteAll I'm doing is crocheting. It's been an obsession lately. Happy Easter, a day late.
ReplyDeleteWhoa ! Busy busy busy. I hear you about the house projects bugging you though. We had a nice Easter and I'm glad it is break. I read 2 books today. Lol.
ReplyDeleteHi! Life sure does get in the way of sewing! I know that well LOL!! Glad you have some projects going on. Hope your husband is back on his feet soon. We put hard wood floor in a few years ago and because of my husbands work schedule it was going in a few feet at a time for awhile. Worth the wait!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had a good Easter! I hope you get your sewing done! I need to get busy with some of mine too!
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking in. Life does get busy, doesn't it? I'm having the same problem -- busy with real life -- taxes, cleaning, blah, blah, blah -- which makes for very boring blog fodder. Happy April!
ReplyDeleteIt's always a hard one for the hubby's to be sick. I'm glad that you and Amelia didn't catch anything. I can't wait to see what you have been working on... even better that it is a secret project!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that Mr Wonderful is feeling better. I am waiting (patiently) for your surprise project!!!
