Time to look at how things went last week.. and to plan this week!

Last Week’s This and That

I was out a lot last week… I really don’t like going out because it means I get less done around the home… I did, however, manage to make a beautiful jar of strawberry jam….

While I was making the jam, I decided to multitask and work on the Beautiful Day blocks at the same time, doing them as leaders and enders:

I don’t usually do well with leaders and enders, but I am trying to “train” myself to get used to them… and so far so good this time… although I didn’t quite get them finished, I do have them up to this stage:

Shouldn’t take too long to finish them now, and I had to chuckle when I saw they were churn dashes 🙂 Good thing I’m not sick of them yet!

Florence is ready to applique!

Which means all chookies are now ironed down and it’s time to pick thread and start the applique process! I will do a post soon with a pic of them all on the design wall… I really have enjoyed this SAL!

Ok, now let’s look at last week’s to do….

IN THE KITCHEN

Still need to do those spices!!!! ~ Yeah, didn’t do them last week either!! Might get to them one day….

IN THE SEWING ROOM

Chicken Salad Sewalong – Florence ~ Done!

Kitchen SAL – Strawberry Jam ~ Done!

Heartfelt – Darling Blocks (affiliate link) ~ no, don’t have enough fabric and need to decide if I’m ordering more, or making the quilt smaller….

Beautiful Day Mystery – Block 3 – Fun Dash (it’s a churn dash!!) ~ not quite

Chooky’s Churn Dash SAL – four blocks ~ no…

Great Granny Squaralong – four blocks ~ no…

Finish binding tumbler quilt ~ no…

So, didn’t get everything crossed off… but did make some progress…

IN THE Garden

It’s the last month of winter, and I’m starting to think about what I want to plant for the summer. With the crazy food prices I really want to grow as much as I can this year. So with that in mind this week I want to:

Plant veggies in pots

Plant herbs in pots

Sort seeds

Start some seedlings
