Procrastinator Extraordinaire

If you can imagine... I just took down my Christmas Tree.  It's a fake tree. An impostor tree.  It's in the tree body bag in the basement now.  We've been having some really warm weather for NE Ohio so I have premature Spring Fever.  I'm cleaning up so as soon as that snow hits I have no excuse to keep me out of my sewing room.  I'm almost in there!

Every year I buy myself a new Ornament and my Mom gives me one.  Here they are.   I just love the little girl.  She's what I think the little Polish girl inside me looks like.  And, who can resist a deer in boots!

Back to Blogger

Hello again.   I am back to my blogger Blog.  I hope my old friends follow me and I hope to make some new friends.  2012 has gotten off to a rocky start.  One of my dogs passed away, my husband's business was robbed and I've been working so much I barely know what day it is..   but I'm hoping to turn it around and make it a good year.  One of my resolutions (along with the ever included : lose weight,  exercise and save some money) is to sew more and sharpen my skills.  I am a self taught quilter.  My minimal sewing roots have a strange beginning.  I won a refurbished Singer sewing machine at a night at the races raffle.  Everyone at the table laughed and laughed at the thought of me sewing.  That same year I bought my first pattern and made those same people ridiculously funny fleece hats for Christmas.  Then I discovered Simply Quilts on HGTV.  I was hooked.  My first quilt was a basic patchwork quilt big enough for two king sized beds.  I think that was 2004. Many quilts, many quilt books and many quilt blogs later.. I think that my skills can really still use a lot of tightening up.  I think that I missed some really important basic skills that I probably should have learned along the way and this year I am going to try to fill in those blanks.  To get the ball rolling I just joined my first online quilt class.  Can't wait to get started!
