I appreciate this group where I can ramble on about my dreams and goals and plans. Even the ones I actually follow through on. I completed all the things on my last 2 to-do lists and feel pretty good about that. This week's list has a few more things on it.
- The new EPP papers from Paper Pieces arrived so I can play with them by glue basting the pile of already cut white hexies for the sashing and corner units for Lucy. I also got three shapes for Winderemere. FedEx came to the door twice and I paid the import tax.
- Stitch together one Lucy block at the Q@F online meeting Sat morning. I did not touch her for a whole week. I am so proud of my self control.
- Write 3 times this week. This includes blog writing, journaling, and book writing as well as responding to comments and writing emails.
- Clear my tables of their clutter. Where does it all come from?
- Bright Jane. The RSC colour for January is dark blue. I have 5 blue blocks to make. These have been prepped and ready to go for several years. It's only 5 little 4 1/2 inch blocks. They will be foundation pieced.
- Stitch for 15 minutes at least 6 times this week. That seems to be the pace I am doing right now. Need to have some wiggle room.
- Continue to ignore the Wedding Quilt. I succeeded this past week. Now to keep the momentum.
- Resist the temptation to join in the SAHRR. I put it on my 2023 calendar a year ago.
But how can I put time into something new when I have so many other things I want to do?Not going to go there in my thoughts.
Need a picture. My next Lucy block. This one is a bit fuzzy but then, so are my eyes these days. I went for a pre-op appointment with the eye surgeon today getting ready for cataract surgery. I have been on this pursuit for nearly a year and will have to wait a bit yet. They will not do the procedure until after I get back from Australia in April since I will not be allowed to fly for 2-3 months after wards. I got that memo. But not being able to drive for 2-4 weeks after each eye? How can I not drive? I have been driving since I was 12. Okay. I waited until I was licensed to drive on the road. I have kept the entire month of May clear of commitments. I may have to forgo daily stitching. Sigh.
No problem. I will just get a head of the game with my projects. Is that even possible? to get ahead? By this fly by the seat of her pants last minute girl? But then, I do have my 2023 calendar all marked up with exciting adventures for the coming year. I have learned to do this in pencil.
Blessings,
Chris

You will be seeing so much clearer and sharper after your eye surgeries, you will stitch up those Lucy blocks faster than ever! Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteYou had a good week on the to do list front. Hopefully even though you can't drive you'll be able to stitch some after your surgery.
ReplyDeleteYour next Lucy block will be stunning. Looking forward to seeing you in April, in real life!!
ReplyDeleteI like that your calendar is in pencil. Life does throw curve balls. Good luck with your goals this week.
ReplyDeleteChris your next block will be very pretty when it’s finished! Great job on your list this week. Can I confess to sewing the day after my cataract surgery and two weeks after having my shoulder rebuilt and torn and severed ligaments repaired? It was only 2 and four patches with my fingertip since my shoulder was in a sling for 2 months 😉. You’ll be amazed at what you can accomplish and if you don’t drive, you’ll have more stitching time. 😉. Good luck with this week’s list. Happy stitching time 😉 Carol

Love your Lucy block! Everyone says things are so much clearer after cataract surgery. Wishing you the best!
