3 Digby Dog pincushions, its a start right? I decided I needed to make something quick and easy. I've got a lot of these Hatched and Patched pincushion patterns, they are all very cute and fun to make. I have been wanting to make one for myself for a while and I thought if I'm making one I might as well make a couple more at the same time. My Digby is top left I've given the other 2 to my stitching friends.
I've pulled out a couple of other small long term projects that need to be finished up this year. Next post I'll show you the next one I've dug out of the too hard basket.
I've had a couple of days home alone this week which has given me a chance to do a bit more reorganising. I had plans to sew today but reorganised my scrapbooking supplies instead, so much stuff so little time! My things are sorted better but the kitchen table isn't any neater.
I am trying to downsize in order to be ready for moving in the future. It does not come easy thats for sure. Its hard when one phase of your life ends and the future is uncertain. I have avoided making life decisions for so many years I'm finding it very hard to start now. Working at an op shop doesn't make it any easier either, I've been busy taking donations to work but it hasn't stopped me bringing home other things. I guess it will work out in the end.
I had a go at making a pineapple block, another in the long list of quilts I would like to make. I bought a ruler and book online after seeing an episode of the quilt show with Gyleen Fitzgerald. Gyleen designed the ruler and it was fun playing around with it. I just used some of my scrap 11/2" strips but I want to do some blocks with better contrast to get the real effect of the pineapple block.
No time to be bored thats for sure,
Happy Stitching
Debra.
You go girl! Think I have said that before. Even though they are little steps they are steps nether the less, keep moving onwards and upwards. You deserve to be happy and this is the year to start.
