Happy Memorial Day

It has been a quiet day here. Hubby and I both had the day off, but we both ended up doing work around the house.
I did take some time to get into the sewing room and work on Christine's Kitchen.
I cut out 92 colored 2" x 2" squares and 92 white 2" x 2" squares and turned them into this pile.



And I am working on the flowers slowly. I had decided to do the applique by machine, but ended up unpicking, so a lot of it will be done by hand.


And I did get my snowmen done for the Have a Jolly Little Christmas sew along.


The next block is out of course, and I have to do the next part for Bleeker Street and more cats and a birthday present.
And on and on and on...

CHAOS!!

Yes, ADHD is a real thing in my family!


 Poor child never had a chance.
My plan was to catch up completely on teapots, but I kept making boo boos, so I have the stems finally on.


Would have gotten a lot farther, but I couldn't remember where I had (oh so nicely) tucked the bias tape makers.
I had already messed up once before on the stems just trying to cut them out--ugh!!
Soooooo...
All of these petals are going to get cut out while I am watching NASCAR in a little while.


And I did manage to finish the second green block and I got another kitty done--so there is so method to my madness. At least I think there is. When I start making too many boo boos, I need to do something else for awhile.



It's going to be another long weekend of work and family events, but hopefully I can get a seam or two snuck in somewhere. 
Stay cool everyone!! It was 90 something here today!
Blahhhh!!

I wish May would slow down!!!

Time is flying far too quickly.
I think I am getting caught up and the whoosh, more stuff is due and there is no time left.
I did finally get some green finished.


I also worked on another green one and a whole bunch of pinwheels. Next I have to pick out flower colors and make some cats.

  
No more whole days of sewing until Wednesday, but hopefully I can get some stuff done in between all of the other insanity!
Thinking positive!!!!

All Caught Up!

At least on Christine's Kitchen.
The next part will be harder because I am not the best at applique. Practice, practice, practice!!!
So, these are the latest finishes:


And here is all of it up to this point:


I cut out green blocks for the rainbow quilt challenge and a bunch of pinwheels for Bleeker Street, so I am trying to be organized. It will be a busy few days, so any little bit I can get done will be a win for me.
Time to work on birthday dinner for DS.
He is the big 22 today.
I feel old!!!
