Well! There You Go~

This morning I was viewing blogs and I came across one whose author hasn't been posting on it for a long time.

You know, missing in action.

I thought, gee, I know this person is still around, I wonder why there are no recent postings.  And then BAM!  I had another thought -- gee, I haven't posted in a while, I wonder why THIS person hasn't done the same!  

And then I looked at my blog.  JULY??? Really??  OMG, what am I doing instead of blogging?  I mostly use this blog as a diary to remember all my activities.  But four months have gone by, and what have I done?

I used to blog about sewing.  I did some sewing recently.  I hemmed a couple of bridesmaids dresses for some people.   Here's one I trimmed off by about 3 1/2 inches.  The bottom of the skirt was eight yards wide!

  

I used to blog about quilting.  I did finish a quilt project that was on the five year plan... I was cleaning and pulled out a bin of UFOs and this one had one border that was missing about 10 inches on one side.   I must have been looking for the rest of the fabric and never found it.  It's going to the quilter very soon, as I found something very similar that will work.  Why did it take so long?

  

I'm just so thankful that this one is finally out of the bin!  I'm trying to decide what to back it with, and what color thread to ask my quilter to use.  

I've been knitting mostly I guess.  I have tossed the stash (like a salad, where you mix up the ingredients, not the throw away kind of toss) and rearranged things.  I did get rid of some yarn that I decided I wasn't going to use - donated some to a local hat project, put a bin together for the preschool, etc.  Now I have a couple of sweaters I need to finish before the holidays.

Unfortunately, I also located several cakes of sock yarn that have lost their labels.  The only thing I know about them is their colors... and that they ARE fingering weight yarns.  And that I liked them when I bought them.  I'm now on a mission to use them so I don't have to feel guilty about losing their ball bands.  😦

Thanksgiving and birthdays are coming up for November.  The weather is still nice in Wisconsin, although yesterday was a near thing.  The wind was blowing so hard that our Condo sign went over, along with one of the outdoor lamp posts.  

I hope you didn't miss me too much, if at all.  Maybe it won't be so long until next time.

Blog on...
