Saturday Roundup

 

My goodness we are almost at the end of the month and I really need to get cracking on getting a few more projects completed. I am not really moving along too quickly on that list. I still have a week (well 6 days not including today) and I promise not to add anything to said list.

Thought I would share some photos of what I have been up to this week.

Cut up lots of scrap fabric into squares to be used for quilting.

Made chicken stock from the bones that were saved in the fridge freezer. I forgot to take a picture of the ham broth, but I also got 4 containers of that wonderful goodness.

Got the placemats woven and learned I need to figure out how to get them all the same size. That was not accomplished, but this is a good first attempt. I also need to learn how to finish the edges better as well.

Worked on the patchwork tote bag. I stopped today as I almost made an error. It will be finished tomorrow.

The knitted blanket is coming right along. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will be completed by the end of the month.

I did do a bit of embroidery on those days that the sun shone, but really did not get that much done on this new quilt block. Perhaps next week.

There has been a bit of decluttering, and tossing things that there just isn't enough of to do anything with. Really neatening up the sewing/craft room and seeing what I can use for future projects. 

Next week I will be letting you all know how well I did on the project/goal list for this month and perhaps listing some new projects for March.

I will also be posting the first couple of days of using up the bits and bobs in that fridge freezer basket. I did make a grocery list for this coming week and it is actually quite small and consists of mostly produce, fruit and dairy. 

Everybody have a wonderful evening. 

God bless.
