Let The Progress Continue!

After some serious Candy crush & Youtube time its time for me to get back to work! After all the progress I had yesterday I'm gonna try to keep the good times rolling! I am going to try to get a few of my units put together into blocks. Although I think I might make my units bigger by attaching them  together and then continue doing that until I have a full and complete block. Wish me Luck!

*****************************************************
I've gotten THREE blocks completed!

Whoa! A Great Lot Of Progress!

I had to show you all that I actually got done today! I'm actually amazed by myself! My sister was amazing and ironed all my units!

Cutting Machine!

Yesterday I spent the first part of my morning finishing sewing the strips together for Sherry Sometimes Blanket. Then I went to work cutting those strips into the correct measurements. Now I have tiny mountains of pieces all over my sewing desk and I have a few more strips to cut. It shouldn't be that long until I am all set to start sewing units! I just love that I get to say Units all the time.
I hope to get to the point where I am sewing blocks today but I'm not 100% sure that I will get that far. It might take me a while to sew all the pieces together. *Fingers Crossed*

I would also like to do some work on my Juggernaut Quilt! (Its for my cat, Jasper, who also answers to Juggers, Juggernaut, Jassy-Jas, House Leopard and a few other names). Its going to go into the "Man room" which is LB's answer to my craft room. Really not a lot happens in there. I don't think LB goes in there very often. But Jasper LOVES to sleep up there on the futon. The 3rd floor gets super warm here so he goes up there at night or during the day for his siestas! 
I found the pattern on Pinterest and its one from Moda Bake Shop. And my awesome sister The Purple Quiltapotamus sent me some scraps and a charm pack! Which made me even more excited to get started on that one. I'm also trying to be super patient and wait for my new rulers from Busy Bee Inc's Etsy Shop. It may kill me to wait! I'm hoping that they get here soon. I ordered the circle ones. I might have to go back and order a couple of the other shapes later!

Live & Candy Crush

I'm on days off, Today and Yesterday, however I am not getting a lot done. I've been sucked in to Candy Crush on Facebook and Live on Youtube! Before I know it I've been sitting at my desk for a an hour and a half. Yesterday I actually forgot that I threw clothes in the washer. (Thank god I don't live in an apartment! I would have found my clothes thrown some where in the laundry room this morning when I finally made it back to the washer to put switch to the dryer)

There is just something amazing about Ed's voice and the band as a whole! And on you tube you can find whole concerts! How could I walk away from 1:20 minutes with him? Thats right!?! I can't! Maybe after I can actually get up. Go get my clothes from the dryer and get out the door. I have mail to send and coffee to get at Starbucks, I have to go to the bank to put checks in. Thank you work for my bonus! It paid for a portion of my tattoo last week! Which I still 100% love this week! I love it even more when I see sunsets on TV. Like the one on Suits!
I've also been looking for a new show to watch on Netflix or to Download and watch! I get a lot more embroidery done when I have a show that I can watch while I stitch. Same with my EPP (Which has been mighty neglected lately)

The Big Reveal!

Tattoo day was yesterday and I went to Living Canvas tattoo shop in Winnipeg and my appointment was with Derek! (Who is awesome! Just in case you wanted to know!) and he did a super wicked amazing awesome job! I am 100% in love with my tattoo! THANK YOU DEREK!!!

This one was taken a few minutes after he did the last bit of ink. You can see how red it looks!

This one is a few hours later.

 Both photos were taken with my iphone. Once someone else gets up and has some time I'll get  better pictures of it! Although I might wait till it heals a bit more before that too!

Trying To Do Better!

I find that I have the best of intentions when it comes time to blog and then I forget or something else gets my attention! So I have promised myself that I am going to try to do better! This year for example I would like to do better when it comes time to post for my blog and to comment when I visit other peoples blogs. I always get super excited when people comment on my blogs so I'm sure its the same for people that I visit! Even if someone else makes a comment like I want to make I'll still make mine!
I'm also going to better with my treadmill! And with that goes following the advice of my physiotherapist and actually doing the stretching and strengthening exercises that she gave me to do for my knee. I was doing very well at running every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for a while. I'll have to get back at it. Even if its a slow run because my knee is being a big whiny baby kinda knee!
Also finishing projects. I need to start one of those lists at the side of my blog that says everything I am working on. So then I can get rid of the crafting piles that are taking over my house. Especially my couch! Today I am going out with my sister! And I might try to get some more work done on either my brother and new sister in-laws pillowcase (its sorta a late wedding gift) or some more of my Sherry Sometimes Quilt. I'll see what the evening brings!

Quilting Sunday!

After finishing and delivering my Shattered Hooters quilt I seem to be really inspired! I have gotten to work on my Sherry Sometimes Quilt. It's from Material Obsessions 2 by Kathy Doughty and Sarah Fielke. I love the pattern and I'm looking forward to trying the appliqué. This quilt will most likely find a home on my couch. Although if its anything like the Shattered Hooter I have a feeling my cat will be taking it as his own and be sleeping in it and on it as much as possible.
In other news! Suits is back on!!! Yay!!! I LOVE this show! Harvey Spector is my hero! I think everyone should watch this show!
I also had a nice night out with friends last night and by chance we ended up at Boston Pizza on UFC Night and I won a door prize. It's a UFC DVD. I think LB is pretty excited.
A bit of terrible news is yesterday LB got in a small car accident the other guy turned out of a parking lot right in front of LB. Our car has a hole in it. But everyone is okay. Now if only LB had stuck with me and gone to the tattoo parlor to find out about my new plans and tattoo! I can't wait till Thursday! That's when I have my actual appointment! Mark me 100% excited!
