Making it Monday

For whatever reason the "new" Blogger is not happy with me and my photos today (and my captioning) so they are all on the bottom and not necessarily equally sized. Sorry, folks! I'm experimenting with a slightly larger font which also seems to leave larger blank spaces. Feel free to opine as I experiment here!

I have decided to just throw my to do list and goal list mainly to the wind. Instead, I'm following the advice of another blogger (someone I read from my side bar but can't remember where right now) and just listing accomplishments at the end of the day when I journal.

I haven't fallen completely by the wayside. Some things are habit or things that can't be ignored (the state of my kitchen) and others have easy reminders (my wristband telling me to exercise for half an hour every hour and a half). I am sometimes writing down the daily projects and fun stuff. Like knit outside in the sun for an hour or so, play with my macrame kit, start the next season of Unforgotten, take a drive. I also have some master lists still in the back of the book if I need them. The rest, I now leave to chance.

Meanwhile, in the finished category, I made a couple quick farmhouse style Easter signs this weekend and will put them in colored frames this afternoon (after fixing the missed spot). I may add ribbons and buttons later, who knows). As previously mentioned, I left my Easter stuff up north, and that is about three big boxes, so whatever I make will do this year. I did get something for my door.

I also finished said quilt (last week actually). I did not like this quilt for a long time. I'm no longer a fan of white as a background in general (for me personally), I didnt like the measurements and so on,  complain, complain, complain. I cut off the bottom row, did modern slash style lines and it will now go to the quilt guild to be donated to babies later on this year. I might add a few more lines post washing and ironing.

The sliders turned out well, and I will have them as lunch alternatives all week.

In the in progress and coming soon category the sweater is growing by leaps and bounds. I did have to have a conversation with myself about whether I would have eyelets all up the sweater, and finally decided I'll just wear camisole underneath r more likely since it's texas a skin colored bra. Or I can always weave ribbons in the eyelets.

I would like to get one more Easter fun thing made. I don't have black fabric (I never do) so we'll see what this looks like with these fabrics and midnight blue crosses. I'll also start the sugar cooking decorating thing next week. And then it's onto patriotic fabrics ( I see a banner for my patio and an outdoor patio table cover and napkins to start.

Is the NCAA tournament a hot mess, or what?

After my posting I saw this and thought, I can do this!! And hang on my patio or shelves!
