Thanks for the tips on the health notebook Soorawn!  And Always, that is a great idea to include the weather.  I know mine will include what time I went to bed/got up, what time I remembered to eat and take my meds, and how stressful the daycare stuff was that day, as well as if my hip/neck/back hurt more or less than usual.  I am only 29, but I fell last year and hurt my hip and it is still so painful that some days I can't even walk.  Makes life real fun, really...lol.

I want that seahorse!!  It's amazingly beautiful!!

That seahorse is amazing! Great job and I have to say it is my favorite one of your button projects so far!

Hey Always? Try placing the rug in a box, laundry basket or other container to 'hold' the piece as you work. I have had to do this with the blanket I am working on.

Thanks so much everyone   It really is my fave now, too!  I think maybe I will give it it's own thread...wanna wait until after I send the item I am making to my partner for the swap so it's not plastered all over hot new topics on the front page!

I finally finished a WIP, and burned my finger on the iron, but never the less another done!

I finally managed to post my quilts.

I am counting 5 completed projects for those.  I am also going to claim another completion for my efforts over the past two days.  After a long drawn out session of running around in circles trying to make a sewing machine work we not only succeeding in solving a 15 year old problem we were able to attach the free motion plate and foot.  And I figured out how to do free motion quilting. 




There are more than a few long and short stitches.  The hardest part for me at the moment is running the machine fast.  As far as a first try, I'm pretty happy.  And the DH said I might be able to quilt my ME quilt.  (After looking at my sample using straight line stitching he said, "that is nice dear, send the top to the quilter".  I need a LOT of practice before I get near an actual pieced top, but I am confident I can make it work eventually.  Any advice?

Always trying to catch up.  Never succeeding. Again such amazing projects from everyone.  Love the apron Saph... sorry about your finger.  I have making an apron on my list.  I really like yours.  What pattern did you use?  Likewise I LOVE the seahorse!
