Been Busy....

This is what it feels like to be retired  ;)

Because you're a teacher there are times when I don't want to be around people, I've HAD too much people.  As a teacher the moment you get to school you're on stage, kids around you asking questions, teachers around you asking questions, doing your own planning or work....  It's almost constant.  So every once in a while you NEED to be alone, or in a crowded room full of people who don't care you're there, like a movie or a restaurant, no one will ask you questions there unless it's something like "Is this seat taken?"  It doesn't last long this feeling.  A couple of days, give or take, but the best thing to do is veg in front of the tv.

Unfortunately, vegetating for me won't work because of my ADHD, so for me it's time to get creative....  And boy was I that this week.  Let me show you.

Caught up on the Quilt Doodle BOM, there's still time to join.  See the side link on the right.  Going to be a snowman quilt for Christmas.

Two baby quilt all ready, same block, different styles.  Quilt block from the Midnight Quilter at Craftsy.com.  You got to check out all her videos, and how great her patterns are.  Won't tell you who she is, it's the surprise.

And there is three more things, but I have to go.....  So for the next time, take care...

So this is what it feels like to be retired?!!!  Busy but happy!!

Another OneMoreGoal completed - OMG!!!!

Well, I did not do very well on last month's goal.  I did completed one of the blocks and I did do a couple of other goals, but no, I did not complete it.  So here I am making another goal for this month, the month of March.  And which one will it be?

Finish what I didn't do last month?  The quilt of flowers?  I have all blocks done this time, but I need to do the green and black squares around the entire quilt...

It also will need to be hand quilted.  The secret garden for my bed.   

Or then again there is the door panel that I have partially completed and with spring coming I would like something a little green for my door entrance way????  I'll need two panels that are 6 feet high as curtains for my entrance way into my sewing room.  The background is tan, and both sides will have leaves.  Would love that done......

Or my goal could be to complete the machine quilting on my aunt's quilt.  1/w done.  I promised myself that I would do 4 blocks a week which would get it finished (because I always do more than four).  But it's not something I can do all in one sitting because of my problems with my hips at this point.

Or finish the two baby quilts that I have started, following the Midnight Quilter on Craftsy.  That one is from two and a half inch strips.  It's suppose to look like the picture below:

since the teacher who is pregnant at our school is leaving soon, I think it's the last one that's on the list.  The Midnight Quilt Show "All Roads Quilt Pattern, which is free by the way on Craftsy.  Check it out.  Have fun with me.

Good luck to me.  Linking up to Elm Street Quilts.
