A Truthful Cat Too A Coincidence

It's something of a miracle that our route paving projection started yesterday. Mike told me that one-half the route is paved now. Presumably it volition live on finished upward today. I'll live on able to come across it for myself inwards a few hours because I actually demand to exit as well as produce a trivial grocery shopping today..."little" beingness the operative discussion at that spot because it's also a CSA pick-up day. One learns non to programme one's carte du jour until i has seen what is inwards one's CSA share. And i is the wiser for it too. And when you're one, which I am, thus something...I don't know what, but I got on variety of a curlicue at that spot alongside my "ones." Tomorrow we'll tackle the "twos." Actually, we'll live on tackling the "toes" tomorrow because it is the hateful solar daytime of my monthly pedicure. I'm telling y'all there's a hidden poesy to life if nosotros merely have got the fourth dimension to hold off for it.

Okay, thus here's what happened yesterday. Initially, I idea I powerfulness produce my "little" grocery shopping yesterday, but hearing the road-moving equipment on the route discouraged me...not that it's whatever less daunting today, but piece of job alongside me here. I spent a practiced operate of the forenoon on the Heart & Home embroidery piece, as well as I filled my hoop.

Now there's merely a trivial flake left to complete the block. Unless I'm beingness overly optimistic, I should have got this i finished earlier day's end.

After that I pose on my muddied shoes (because we're into that fourth dimension of the year) as well as went out to dump the compost pail. While I was out there, I noticed this Frankenfood growing from the compost pile. It appears to live on some sort of hybrid squash.

After that, I went into the sewing room to piece of job on the Mulligan Stew quilt. When the quilt is finished, it volition hold off something similar this:

I chose this projection because it uses all of the blocks from this book:

This is a real interesting book, as well as I'm enjoying making the blocks, fifty-fifty if it is taking me forever to complete them. You tin read to a greater extent than most the majority as well as the quilts right here. I'll warn y'all though, if y'all abide by yourself tempted to purchase the book, brand certain y'all also acquire the errata that goes alongside it. There are a issue of errors inwards the book; however, I wrote to the publisher to involve most the errata as well as received it via electronic mail the real side yesteryear side day.

So here's where the coincidence as well as the truthful cat come upward in. Do y'all recollect when nosotros visited the American Museum of the House Cat acre nosotros were traveling in conclusion year?

It was an absolutely enchanting place...to me, anyway. Here, I was listening alongside rapt attending every bit nosotros toured the house alongside our guide.

While nosotros were there, I picked upward this trivial dust collector...partly for the cat, as well as partly for the quilt.

On the dorsum was taped this explanatory note:

So, keeping inwards heed that it's been a total yr summation since I worked on the quilt, imagine my surprise as well as please that the kickoff block I was to brand this fourth dimension to a greater extent than or less was this one:

I swear, it's a consummate coincidence, but merely some other way inwards which our lives plough to poesy if nosotros have got the fourth dimension to pay attention. This is the storey associated alongside the quilt block from the book.

It's taking me a long fourth dimension to complete this quilt because I'm solely making v blocks at a fourth dimension every bit it comes upward inwards the rotation of projects. And at that spot are a lot of blocks. So yesterday's goal was to brand v more. This is the side yesteryear side one.

Here's the associated storey from the book:

Next was this one. It had some tiny trivial pieces.

Then this one:

And, finally...this one.

I liked this associated sentiment.

And I promised y'all an up-to-date pic of the blocks I have got thus far. Here are the 45 I've made. There are xv to acquire earlier I tin start sewing them together.

Okay, thus I've hinted at how I've been salivating over a novel project. This i would autumn nether the category of PINS (Projects I Never Started). While nosotros were traveling, I somehow happened on this designing yesteryear Jane Kakaley. You tin find her Etsy store correct here.

You powerfulness recollect that I made her Sunflower mosaic for a gild challenge a few years ago.

Mine was adapted a trivial flake to remain inside the constraints of the challenge. In whatever case, it was such a fun as well as engrossing project, as well as I ended upward purchasing quite a few of her pdf downloads at the time. For whatever reason, I'm solely merely immediately getting to a greater extent than or less to starting on the cardinal. Some people associate cardinals alongside Christmas...maybe because of the colors? I don't know. But it seems similar we're getting closed plenty to Christmas that it volition live on variety of fun to start something new. I've felt a trivial bored alongside my projects lately, as well as thus something novel seems similar merely the ticket to acquire my mojo stirred up.

There's plenty to produce today, as well as thus I'll likely focus on choosing the fabrics today. Either way...it's on my radar shroud now, as well as I'm cook to acquire started.
