WiP/FMC - Shiny

Happy Leap Year Day!

{As a total aside, I noticed I'm two followers short of 50. Hitting 50 followers on my favorite not-really-a-holiday would probably make me want to do a giveaway. Just saying.}

There wasn't a whole lot of sewing this week. There was a whole lot of running. Followed by a whole lot of icing. Not sugar icing, unfortunately.

{I'm the one in the red skirt. Which, those are from Team Sparkle. Which, there were a LOT of sparkle skirts and tutus out there. Purple is my friend Lori; pink is my sister, who's 30th birthday was the day after the race; and blue is my sister's friend.}

See where I'm touching my right leg in this picture at Mile 12? I discovered my IT band! By the finish line, I was limping. Now I have a freezer pack taped to my thigh.

 But I also have a big shiny medal.

And I'm delusional enough that I think it's going to be fun to do Disneyland's half this year, too.
Fifteen Minute Challenge - not Sew Starry! Sew Starry is done!
Instead, I worked on my mini-quilt challenge. Pieced the first six blocks into rows on Wednesday; worked on blocks 7-11 on Thursday, Friday, and Tuesday; tried my hand at embroidery on the plane on Saturday; ran a half-marathon on Sunday; and picked out my hand embroidery on Monday. {It sucked. A lot.}

Fat Quarter Stars - 6/10 blocks - need more background fabric

Design Wall Monday - Skorca! in Assembly

Yes, assembly!
All the Ohio Star rows are together! And it looks awesomely insane. Insanely awesome?
I totally forgot about the backward hourglass in one of the stars. I'm going to fix it. Orderly chaos, people.
The border has been picked - a penguin fabric I had stashed, with a strip of iceberg blue. To separate the penguins from the Skorca. Of course.
Ten more blue pieces and a good day of red paper piecing left!

Sunday Stash Report - Week 9

Um, so there was a sale...
$2.99 a yard on all sale fabric.
I tried to limit myself to basics (those dots are 54" so even more bang for the buck)...or baby quilt stuff...or 3.25 yards of awesome candy cane binding.
And yes, over 5 yards of the 26 are Sandy Gervais. I don't want to talk about my addiction.
I finished Sew Starry, so I get to count the back and the binding out. That makes a dent in 26 yards. A teeny tiny dent.
Used this Week: 1.33
Used Year to Date: 19.74
Added this Week: 26
Added Year to Date: 63
Net Used for 2012: (43.26) yards

Last Angry Bird for a bit!
He's yellow and he's angry.

Shake ya tailfeather!
And the group shot. 
The Dude asked for a slingshot for his birthday.
Someone help me.
