July?? Really?? Again?

Where does the time go?? I just don't understand.........one minute its may and then it's July.... hmmmmm   maybe there is a rip in the space-time continummm??

A few things have been completed....  the black and gold wall hanging is up on my office wall... the icecream quiltlet got done in time for the ice cream party......... my mittens now have thumbs and the sparkly scarf is finished..........

My sweater is ready to have the sides sewn up and the front band added and a shawl is almost at the halfway point...........  it seems I haven't been doing as much sewing/quilting as I had in the past and not sure why.......  I've been doing my guild committments... name tags and row by row....  not much going on in swapland.........but I have been doing my bitty blocks............the baby quilts are still in the same stage as they were in May..........I really need to get them done since babies will be coming soon!!!

I did knit two of the cutest little sweaters for babies!  One is very tiny and just so darn cute! The other is a bit bigger and yellow with little duck buttons and adorable.........  hmmmmmmmm wait a minute.... seems my knitting projects are outnumbering my quilting and sewing projects.......hmmmmmm  perhaps that's the thing??  Guess I need to assess the time spent on knitting vs the time sewing and maybe even them out a bit more.............  hmmmmmmmmmmm

I'm still sticking to the scrap project goal and what I have done has been done with scraps.... I'm wanting to make another GPS quilt....  I love mine and would like to make another one......... I know I can use up a ton of scraps in that!!   My sewing pit really needs a good going over......... it seems to have gone down hill pretty much during this past winter and maybe that's another reason i'm not sewing...........  hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Have a long holiday weekend coming up so maybe I can get in there and do something.... like find the top of my cutting table............ I think its time to donate some of the stash to Quilts for Kids or somewhere........ the Vet Home also takes craft stuff........ so it's time to load up the trunk with stuff I know I'm never ever gonna use!!    I'll let you know how that goes next time!

There are some pics out on flickr if you are so inclined..........i hope to have the sweater done by mid July and then decide on some blingy embellishments maybe............. and the shawl by the end of July..... I will be sooooooooooooooooooo ready for winter!  lol

Ok  ...  till next time.... whenever that may be!

Happy whatever makes you happy!
