Changes

Quilting is half finished on 'All Wrapped Up' and I'm hoping to finish that today. I started with an all over stipple and didn't love it so ripped it out and tried something else. While I was doing it I kept thinking octopus shape without tentacles, then it started looking like ribbons. So either way I'm really happy with it. I'd like to have binding finished by next week, then a quick wash and it's ready for next Christmas.

What to work on next? I really should finish Martin's quilt but I need to figure out a better method of sandwiching and basting. My back aches after being on the floor and I need to pick up more safety pins - I have no clue where they all went.

Madison's petal patch quilt keeps begging for attention. I need to push through and get it off my UFO list. With that one comes Reeghan's kansas troubles donuts... maybe if I put 15 minutes a day on one of these then swap to another project it will go better. Hmmm tricks we play on ourselves to get the job done...

After my last post I worried that it was TMI or came off as 'poor me'. It wasn't meant that way, that post has been written in some form or other 4 or 5 times since my birthday but deleted before publishing. I decided if this was what each blog post morphed into, it was time to get it out and actually do something about it

All of the goals have been hit and miss but I have found that they are at the forefront of my mind at all times and have already noticed a difference. Bought an elliptical which will be delivered this week so the 15 minutes of exercise should start improving. I do need to schedule my day better. Honestly, I need to get up earlier and do my exercise first thing in the morning..
