Happy Easter!

Hope everyone had a happy Easter and Passover. Spring is just flying by isn't it? Similar to last year, I worked at Starbucks all morning and we did not have the usual Easter dinner. Instead of Easter ham, S. and I had Easter SHRIMP! I went to Whole Foods after work today (I am so happy they were open because we had NO food in the house) and hey the wild-caught shrimp was on sale so that's what I bought. Add some salad and potatoes and call it dinner.

I did get some sewing in yesterday. I set up my featherweight in the living room (because well my sewing space is a mess and I am in clutter denial). I started a new project with a Gypsy Rose jelly roll and the pattern "Two By Fours" by Teacher's Pet.

Gypsy Rose is a great Moda line in nice spring-y colors. My schedule is light this week so I hope to finish it soon.

Stella, apparently finished with the Saturday paper, took an afternoon nap on the NY Times. She also got a bath courtesy of Morpheus.

I Cleaned My Sewing Space Yesterday

Yes, I broke down and cleaned up my sewing space. I now can see some parts of the floor and more importantly, have a space on my table bigger than 2" x 2" to sew (yes that's inches!) Although I hate cleaning (I would rather be sewing!!!!), I love the results. I am happy happy to have some sense of somewhat more order in my sewing space (it's still rather cluttered with UFOs in bags...). Of course my allergies went haywire and I was snuffly for the rest of the day and up half the night (I am extremely allergic to dust--another reason not to clean).

I started cutting Bonnie's Double Delight Mystery Quilt. Wow that's a lot of cutting! I also found a Valentine's Day table topper project made of charm squares so got that cut out too. Bonnie's mystery from last year "Orange Crush" (aka my Mardi Gras quilt) was unearthed and I figured out where I left off.

Sewing Goals for this month: Finish Orange Crush and V-day quilts. Get working on Double Delight.

Have you all seen Anne's great BOM over at Bunny Hill Designs???!!!!

It is sooo cute! I am printing out the patterns but probably not starting this until later. I think my mom would like this applique--Mom, check it out by clicking the link above! Wonder if Karin will join in on this BOM since she is taking a dreaded "A" class soon (dreaded "A" = applique for Karin).
