Stash Report-Week 49, 2014

-
Nothing to report this week as far as my stash numbers.  But the tree is up and I have most of the inside decorations up and the outside front is also finished.  I should move my Christmas Cacti inside as they are really starting to bloom.  Decorating inside as been a challenge this year. Since we remodeled earlier in the year I have had to rethink where to put things.  I also think that when the decorations go away again, there will be some major sorting and not all will be saved!

Used This week:                     0
Used to date   :                      101
Donated to date:                    50
Used and donated to date:  151
Added this week:                    .0
Added to date:                      46.75
Net:                                     104.25

 I may rethink how I figure this for 2015, whether I keep using a completed flimsy as my criteria or if I use blocks made as the criteria.  Either way I will keep on keeping track as it is good incentive to use what's here and not always just buy. Now I do have to think twice and sometimes three times if I really need it.

  April 1 2025 And a month later I’m doing a blog post! March was a strange month.  The Weather was crazy- cold days, warm days. Days where you didn’t want to be out much. Smoke from the wildfires west of us,  not to mention the dust being driven to us by strong winds. And very little rain.  Our total so far for the first 3 months.  3.77 inches.  We got .6 while towns along the coast got 14 to 20 this past week. Galen wasn’t able to get out much but he did get a few pictures. He went down to our small lake one afternoon looking for Dragonflies.   While there an Eagle flew in fairly close.  He thought he had seen one a few weeks earlier but it was flying away so he wasn’t able to get any pictures.  This time he did. Eagle at Forest Creek Several times we had Cedar Waxwings in the yard feeding on our Yupon Holly bushes.   They really go after the berries. Galen managed to get one picture with them at the birdbath.  Just befo...

  Mother’s Day 2025 First off Happy Mother’s Day.  Being a dog Mom Lady wished me a happy day. Not sure what made me think of this. Many years ago- mid to late 50’s into early 60’s we almost always spent Mother’s Day by going shad fishing! We would get up early in the morning,  Mom would pack a lunch, load up Dad’s aluminum boat on to the car top carriers and we would drive to Port Deposit, MD.  Spend the day on the water fishing on the Susquehana River.  Sometimes we caught shad, sometimes not. Mom was always very careful when she fileted them- very boney.  I had not thought about that in a very long time. We were lucky and had rain earlier this week. Up to 6.66 inches for the year.   Get to keep the irrigation system off for another week. Galen was out last Sunday with a friend.   They went to an are near San Antonio.  He did get some nice pictures.  Comanche Skimmer.       Golden Cheek Warbler P...

A little to show this week. First off is a better picture of the Jelly Roll quilt. Still have not decided if I will border it or not. At this point I am thinking not. But then you never know! It doesn't have a name. It was designed by Sue who works at Honey Bee in Austin for one of their strip clubs. It's a combination of a 4 patch, 2", 4" up to 20" strips. While in the motel I also worked on quilt blocks using the MSQC Chevron u-tube video.  Here's 32 of them. Had to do a little frogging on several . there will be 40 total. Think I will make 2 small quilts-4 x 5 with a narrow border of white, then a 4 inch wide print border. One layout I am thinking of using from her video has some half blocks, so I'm not rushing to finish the last few until I get it all laid out. I used a layer cake I had on hand. It's a floral. Forget the name but probably still have the particulars some where! Have several more projects started - the motel was go...
