I lack patience ...

First up, I just have to share with you something that I witnessed in the dining room recently ... it has been so cold and wintery here, that it's challenging to get laundry done. Not the washing, but the drying - because I'm not really a fan of the tumble dryer for some of our clothing items.

I had a basket of laundry on the dining table ready to be folded and put away, and one of the smaller members of the family decided it'd be a warm place to spend some time ...

I had to shoo Gracie away super fast, as I know that Marty doesn't care for his clothes with an extra layer of fur on them ...

But here's what I spent some time working on yesterday - proving once and for all that I really do lack patience ...

The new issue of Quilt Mania arrived at Hetties Patch this past week, and I simply could not wait to get started on the next border. I've pieced it all, but only attached two sides - even though I have not even nearly finished the appliqué border. I love how the project is coming along, and though I'm still hopelessly addicted to piecing on the Omigosh! project, I am determined to have the appliqué finished before the next issue comes out. That gives me around six weeks or so I'm thinking?

And last of all, a little retail therapy during the week - a very little ... even though I don't need them, I wanted to add some new fabrics to the mix for the tumbler project:

The charm squares are the perfect size for the tumblers I'm working with, and it will be fun to check out this new-ish collection as I cut out the shapes.

Well, that's it for me today - I'm heading over to the sewing machine ... loving it! xox
