WIP Wednesday 12.18.24

This happened this week:

I cut my smallest scraps that have been piling up on my desk and put them with their friends in my scrap user's system (Bonnie Hunter's plan).  Pile of random, multi-colored scraps:


Pile of Accuquilt cut 1.5" squares (in about 10 minutes time).


Small scraps to throw away.  Sometimes I can even cut 1.5" HST, but this time I did not.


I'm still using the Old Town Mystery (by Bonnie Hunter, 2024) as a leader/ender project.  I'm off today to run errands, so I will step that up a bit.


Our son loves Spirit Days at school (where they dress to a certain theme).  Here he is for "ugly" sweater day.  Photos are me. (the one with the slightly grumpy face, my sister-in-law (best aunt in the world), my husband (dad -- the bearded one), and of course Owen with glasses.  I ordered it on Amazon.  It was a huge it!


I really should have made a better choice on the photo I picked for myself and should have picked one with a bigger smile vs. a smirk.  I thought I was having a good hair day in the photo and didn't compensate that it would be covered up with a hat.  Lessons learned...  It's still okay.  It brings out our personalities.


I got a few basket handles stitched in class this week.  I only have one more prepped to hand stitch in my sew-to-go box.  I'll have to get serious about those today too because I sub in high school music tomorrow.  It's exam week.  Many students will be required to only go to school to take the exam and leave.  I don't think I will have a full load of students.  We shall see.

I really like your goal of 25 in 2025. I am laughing at myself here because I initally read it as 25 for this year and wondered how on earth you were going to get through all of that in two weeks!

I love your son's sweater! And your 2025 list is impressive.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who has a l o n g list of projects to be completed in 2025. Is the one handle to do the last handle, you will have enough for all the blocks? Happy stitching!
