1.25.12 WIP

MOrning Ladies,

Well today is our 26th aniversary! I was hoping DH would be able to take the day off but they called him to work this morning as weather meant to be bad. So I will sew and clean instead! But I will get a steak dinner tonight so that will be good.

Lets see this week I finished cutting pieces for a year supply of some templets for the house a day block and then started to put the ones I'm behind on together I got two done only another 23 to catch up! I am sewing them by hand so it is taking me awhile as I  am having a hard time seeing the needle to thread!
I finally got my moms old magnier that you wear around your neck and put that on. It worked! I can't show a picture of the blocks as the lady hosting the bod asked that they not be shown until the end of the year.
I  have also been working on my embroidery picture. I have been setting a goal each day to get doneon it and have managed o get the house completed and most of the flowers. today the goal is the fence

so we will see.

Yesterday I finished getting my first funky chicken block ready to sew on I have cut all the back ground blocks and all the sashing just left the borders to do later.  I will get it sewed today . I could have screamed after I cut the good material as I realized I did it again  yup reversed the pattern!! I always forget to turn the paper over so I trace it going the right direction!! Oh well they will just have to all look the wrong way! I'm not wasting the material! I think this morning I will have to move the chicken over some on the block  looking at the picture he doesnt seem  centered right. My DH gave me a purple paisly scrap bag with attacheable pin cushion for my aniversary it will be perfect for the hand sewing this year.  I need to get a move on  now the storm is getting closer- so will probably loose the internet again.  Hope you all have a great week.
