As a quilter and specifically a hand quilter and lover of sew many crafts… I am having a blast NOT leaving home…
I am keeping track of quilting and crafting I accomplish in my bullet journal and when I lose track of where I was… I only have to look at this journal which lays open in half as pictured below to keep my train of though and craftiness high and the news intake limited to our President’s updates and a quick run through other news outlets for balance.
I am really happy with this layout on my bullet journal….
With the above layout each day a similar block to write in and future projects I may need to ponder are right there too.. this is my weekly spread now 😀 Yes… you can keep track of sew many things… but I needed something to organize all my works in progress and planned works. This does that for me. Maybe this quarantine time is time to pull out an unused notebook or take some leaf paper and make your own self a bullet journal for what YOUR needs are!
We have been enjoying spring like weather since Spring Sprang on the 19th… Alas I woke up this morning chilled and temps in the 40’s so the heat came back on but for the last few days we have enjoyed open windows and doors! We have screens in all of them and fresh air was an amazing stress cleansing agent too!!! So in the meantime we took a drive about and my honey took a walk about and caught some great photos of Daisy Meadows (YES ~ We named our property! lol )
Does anyone know the pink tree in the above photo is??? We love it ❤
Check out the daffodils next to our grist mill above…
Above is above side of that pink blossomed tree…
Below is our home from across the pond…
And the other side of the pond looking down at our neighbor’s barn and check out the reflection of this ancient willow tree!!! A local bald eagle loves to shop our pond for his meals from that willow tree!
We are hoping the hostas my honey transplanted last year will take off in this flower bed… it gets some sun but not as much as it looks like…
I did some stitching outdoors on my fusion quilt crochet squares…
In fact I have made lots of progress there this week…
I am working on the double pink fabric one now 🙂
Speaking of pinks… look what I found next to my quilting frame this week!!!! Blooms in MARCH!
Crazy Christmas Cactus!!!!! and then Molly and I on the golf cart supervising my honey fixing a pipe. Lots of work in keeping the pond and fish all happy! lol
Being sick with a sinus cold has slowed down my ability to sit long so I am enjoying jumping from one little project to another while I take antibiotics and prednisone <<< makes me a bit jumpy! lol
Linking my fusion quilt… buttonhole stitches by hand and this bit of slow stitching done at my frame to Kathy’s Slow Sunday Stitching HERE <<<<
One of the things I have enjoyed A LOT this week is cutting out this intricate pieced briefcase!!!!
Jannessa and I each had picked out fabrics for this project… we plan on having a closed door (through the glass) meeting later today to trade off a few things… she will be picking up all the pieces of this project ready to tart working on… and she will bring me some other things to help me with my briefcase 🙂 These will house our laptops and other things when we make trips in the future!
Be honest if you are working on a new project during this time… isn’t it fun to be forced to use your stash in ways you never dreamed of???!!!! I am really liking the challenge… and also finding shops open who are willing to mail or do curbside delivery if you have one close…
REMEMBER the SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS Y’ALL!!!!
And a Special shout out to my son and daughter in law who just celebrated 3 years of marriage! They are EMS in a small county in Tennessee and they are on the front lines!!!
Also TODAY is my Daughter in Law >> Heather <<< Happy Birthday! Isn't she beautiful 😀 She if very kind too!!! I am blessed as is my son ! 🙂
As I close I hope this post has uplifted you… please share how you are getting along during this crazy time in a comment below!
This Pandemic will touch us all in some small or large way before it is done I am afraid… stay calm cool and collected and stay in your home if possible with only your clan! Let’s keep the wave flat!!!!
