I started off yesterday kind of cross with myself. I’m nearly 2 weeks into my holiday from work and I was annoyed that I hadn’t got every single thing done that I thought I might. Then I totted up and realised that I have:
- Cleaned and organised my sewing area
- Finished 3 quilt tops and started another
- Finished 1 extra large bee block
- Finished 3 magazine projects
- Attended a promo event
- Cut 2 more projects as presents (which I need to buy zips for – yes, I know, I have seen that door, but alas not enough of the right size) which I should finish by tomorrow
- Fixed 2 Featherweights
- Hosted one of the #missingmarket events
- Taken a ton of photos for upcoming blog posts
So maybe I haven’t slacked off that much after all. The coming couple of weeks will be a little less productive on the sewing front, but will definitely pick up on the fun front as Lori and her husband arrive to go on a magical mystery tour of Scotland in a camper van with me. Well okay, I’ve told them roughly where we’re going, but I’m driving, so that will definitely add a bit of mystery ;o)
Finishes This Week:
The problem with doing magazine projects is that the mags want to be the first to show them off, so lets take these 2 fabric photos as evidence that I did something, as they appear in 2 of the projects. I shall leave you to ponder where the Kam Snaps might fit in (you’ll never guess)
Here’s Little Sod and Cussed who are now sewing though:
In Progress This Week:
The problem with making presents for people is that they want to be the first to see them (you’re no doubt spotting a theme here!) I can’t even show the fabrics as the recipients would guess it’s for them! So take it as read that they’re in the works.
To Be Worked On This Week:
- Finish presents 1 & 2
- Start present 3
- Start the grand tour of Scotland
Hope you’ve all had a great and productive week!
Have a lovely tour!
Oh you have been VERY productive!! And I agree, secret sewing can be harsh in that you’re sewing away and have nothing to show for it. Sweet little Singer!
A camper van tour of Scotland sounds pretty amazing.
Doesn’t sound like a holiday to me, cleaning and organising never feature in any of my holidays. Hope the weather picks up for your Grand Tour!
Very jealous of the camper van tour, hope it goes/went well x
I just found your page. I’m a Weegie living in the States so the title caught my eye, then the quilts, then when I saw you had Featherweights I just had to ‘like’ your page! Mine is in the hospital given I bounced it off the concrete floor in my sewing room, but I will have it back this week.
Have a wonderful trip, I haven’t been home in years so I’m jealous 🙂
