So, this has been a very busy couple of months. We decided to move my quilting area into the cellar back when I decided to buy a new frame for Phoebe. We had a Gree mini split put in for heating especially in the winter months. Summer, the cellar is cool on its own. My husband put in a partial floor for the frame and we have worked on covering the unfinished ceiling, a barrier between the insulation and us. There have been some small issues that needed attending as well. We will probably continue to move things around and clear out other stuff. Phoebe is settled onto her new frame and I don't think I could be happier with everything thus far.
Meanwhile, I also have done a little sewing because I needed something to wear to my nephew's wedding coming up next weekend. I haven't made any clothing in years, so this is an experience, I've been watching some sewing and fitting videos I purchased a few years back and they have been an awesome help. I have been working on pants. I don't think they have ever been easier to fit. How much I never learned even though I used to make all my clothes. Internet is wonderful!!
I have found my creativity has sharpened over the last couple of months. I really want to get to quilting. Not only with Phoebe, but return to FMQ on my sewing machine. I have all kinds of ideas. I have a tone of beautiful threads I'd like to play with and small FMQ projects will be fun. I also have a lot of quilt tips that need quilting. And I have enough fabric to last me long after I die. I want to do a little hand quilting of orphan blocks. And I find my head wonders though different scrap quilts. I'm rarely ever bored.
Still counting my Blessings!

This was written back in June and I didn't get back until today. I do love my quilting, sewing, knitting, space in the cellar. Nothing eye catching, but I love it anyway, Christmas is next Monday. I love journaling...I need to add this to my To Do list and get back to it. I do keep a written journal of my "making". So, after the holidays, I need to come back here again soon. It will be noted on my desk. By the way, the Gree works great!!
I love counting my Blessings!
