Ready for the New Year?

A new year always bring a renewal of energy, of changes (real or imaginary), of planning, of aspirations, and of self meditation. What am I planning to do during the new year? SEW! What else? Oh, I also plan on blogging too. 😊

The Plan
My plan is more about when will I sew instead of what will I sew. Some of you report a 15 minutes sewing to a party link hostess by Life in Pieces. I like the idea but not so much the rigidity of it. So, I'll say that instead of playing Volleyball on Tuesdays this first semester, I will sew. How's that? Sounds like me. 

UFO

The list of UFOs isn't any shorter than any previous years. Should I say I will tackle that? Nope. I'll say that I will look at it and IF I accomplish something then I will feel good about myself. How's that? Too easy; no effort put in = no reward. Okay, then, how about: I will work on two UFOs this year. 

Name them. Now that's easy. Hole in the Barn Door because I want to use this one so much and Spinner which is hiding somewhere. ?? Then  maybe Flannel Crumb quilt. But first, I want to finish the quilting on Ohio Star Shadow. Okay, so four. 👍

Blog

I will continue with Rainbow Scrap Challenge, hosted by Angela and also Table Scrap Challenge hosted by Joy. 

For January, Angela has called the colour Pink. So, Pink came out to play. 

That's all I could find in the scrap mess. So I browsed my stash and came up with these 

which are bigger than a fat quarter but will be sacrificed for the cause. So now the bag looks like this:

Okay. Let's play! 

You might remember that at the end of last year I played with a block that Cathy at Sane, Crazy, Crumby Quilting had made a lovely quilt with and I wanted one too. Now, I can't locate the specific post but trust me it was wonderful. So, this is my first RSC2025 block. I call my quilt Flying Home. Sorry for the dark photo. 

During my holidays, I also cut and assembled two pajamas in flannelette for my youngest one. One is size medium and the other one size large. He asked me to always make them large now because they are more comfy. 

Gosh! They grow up so big! 

Then, guess what? 

I found the pink scrap bags. Lol. 

Now there are more scrap to play with. Whoohoo!

I have more RSC blocks to show you but that's for another post as this one is long enough as it is. 

On January first, we had snow. 

What we had before had mostly melted and whatever we received on that day has basically all disappeared too. That's fine by me. Less time shoveling means more time sewing. 😉

Stay well, take care, and have a wonderful week. 

;^)

I will visit these talented ladies over the weekend. Hope to catch you there too.
