Painting Homework Done!

 I needed to finish up my painting,Grace🐕wanted to snuggle, she will come to wherever I am & nudge my leg when she wants to be next to me on the couch snuggling,I kept telling her later baby girl,so we had to have a talk about it 😀

Of course she won but just for a few minutes 😄I still tend to get my colors too dark, the acrylic side of me just wont let go 🤣we will go over the Cala Lily in class today

On this one we were to finish out the page with the apple & the blueberry's ,at least that's what the paper say they are🤣

Today will be that last of the 6 week course,so much was crammed into these 6 weeks , there's no way to learn it all, it took me a good 2 years to get a handle on acrylics so I will be patient with this journey  & continue to learn by watch You Tube,buying watercolor books etc, next year will tell the tale if I need to go to the advanced class or repeat🤣

Making The Table Multitask

Is it just me,or does it seem  when there's work  to be done, once you leave the house you cant make it back?🤣 something came up & now I have to get a shower,& go to town & while I'm out might as well bring some dinner back with me right? So I set up my table to multitask when I get back 😄

Watercolor on one end of the table & slow stitching on the other end,the watercolor will take  first priority of getting finished  as tomorrow is our last class

Strips are ready to be sewn together for Livvy's quilt

Final layout decision for Cason's quilt ready to begin assembling 

Only one chaper to read  to catch up on the Jan Karons book club reading for Shepherds Abiding 

I guess you could say that today is multitasking at its finest 🤣

Sunday Inspiration

 

Down To Two Layouts

 Started the morning with waffles made with almond flour,my new little mini waffle maker is going to help me stay on track with a lot of good choices

I'm down to 2 layouts for Livvys quilt, I'm making them both a good lap size ,so not to big & not to small 

 Layout #1

Layout #2

The fabrics aren't wrinkled, I just slapped them down cause I'm tired 🤣 here's a closer look at the prints

Dont Overthink It!

 There's quite a few ways this one can go,start eith a bird block,a color block ,2 colors together,I even folded them into triangles to see how'd that would look🤷  I've turned these blocks so many ways & Im sure there's tons more lol  its time to walk away

Anyways everything for both quilts are cut,prepped & ready for action,maybe my brain will kick back in once I get something to eat 🤣

Something's Roaring In The Sewing Room!

 Shhhh did you hear that? 👀 I definitely hear something roar 😬🫣

😄 working on layouts & putting the tops together for Livvy's & Cason's quilts 

I will start on Livvy's after I deal with all these dinosaurs 😄 her quilt wil be made up of 10

1/2"x 10 1/2" blocks so should go quickly

A few more odd & end finishes are in the works again today but mostly working on these 2 layouts

January's comming Up Red

 I wanted this quilted for Christmas this year but I have too many other pressing things that has to take priority 

Then there's the red & white I just started cutting out for a simple 4" patch work

The little red scholl house has always been on my bucket list so I'm hoping to squeeze it in along with a few more that's been on my mind

Today has been filled with  working on odds & ends like trying to finish up the little Christmas stitch journal 

For dinner I added chicken to the leftover spinach pasta ,it bumped it up to a whole new level of yumminess!

Worked some more on Christmas decorating,a sneak peak of the mantle 

The Milford Book club on FB is reading Shepherd's Abiding  by Jan Karon,I've been reading her books for years, they are very good clean reads & this book is the 2nd in the series of 12 🤔I think,I have 2 more to find to complete the series,I don't like to start a series untill I've collected them all but decided to join in with them,I hope reading out of sequence doesn't mess with my mind🤣
