Finally I can start a couple of new projects! I still have to finish painting the guest house and I’ll work on that today. But I can load a new quilt on the longarm and start a new crochet project.
Yesterday I cleansed my soul from hemming that dress by doing some outside work and dyeing some veterans quilt backs.
It’s not very exciting dyeing but I enjoyed it. I need to plan a new quilt so I can dye more fabric.
But I don’t need more fabric!
Before I think about that maybe I should finish a project. It’s time to quilt Monty! I got it loaded last night and now I’m trying to decide on the thread.
I had planned to use the same thread as I did for Monty Scraps but it is a dark green that would stand out on this pale green background. I really need a more medium green but I refuse to buy more thread! I think one of these will work. I’ll look at it today with fresh eyes and make a decision.
I’m also starting a new crochet blanket.
It’s going to be a donation quilt exactly like this one. The orange and tan will be switched. Clearly, when this yarn went on sale I bought way too much of it! There will still be some leftover when this blanket is done sometime in 2027.
Another project I’m doing is going through boxes of old photos, selecting the few good ones and digitizing them. The rest are going in the trash. We never go through the old photos but we’ll see them now on the digital frame.
I have about 8 boxes like this to go through. So far, I’ve discovered that the quality of my photography skills was horrendous. I don’t even know why I kept most of these photos!
