i know. i know. i haven't blogged in a year. over a year. but instead of going into details and all that bologna i can sum it up rather quickly... i didn't know what to write about. lost the motivation. i knew wanting to blog would come back around eventually but i wasn't sure when. anyway.
a lot has happened in the last year. james and i are still living in our condo. no dog. no babies. yet. but i do have a job. in less than a year i found a job that i liked.... and was actually good at. i work at joann's fabric and crafts. i started out just working the cutting counter, register, then started working framing. i was good at it. good enough to be promoted to education coordinator. i know. i'm as shocked as you are.
so in a nutshell, for the last year james and i have buried our heads in work. we want to move. so we have done a whole lotta nothing but work and of course i've made some time for crafting.
i also accomplished one of my goals. i made my first quilt!!! my first quilt!
i started and finished 98% of it in like 12 hours. i started by saying,
"oh i'll just start by cutting out the squares."
"yeah, i'm still bored, i'll just lay out the pattern and stack them."
"yep, that didn't take long. maybe i'll just sew the rows. no harm in continuing."
and a couple hours later i just kept continuing the whole process. everything is done except the binding. i love it. it's so happy, and cheerful, a little bit of vintage, not too bright, not too bland, but just perfect.
and i made it.
i admit i'm a little overwhelmed with the binding part. i don't want to ruin it. but eventually i will do it because i can't wait to snuggle it.
this was a big goal of mine that i accomplished and i'm so glad i can show it off.
i'll be back. i want a new look for this blog and i have some other things i've made that i would love to share.
peace.
