WIP Wednesday 12/29/10

Welcome to work in progress Wednesday in conjunction with Every Day Crochet.   Please click the button at the bottom of my post to play along, or check out what others have been working on.

I did finish the toothbrush rug I was working on and it's now listed in my etsy store. You can check it out here if you would like.
I started another, but only have the initial braid done, so I didn't take a photo of that.







I got out the strips and squares for the strip quilt I am working on for sewing club at church. I had finished sewing on the strips on 4 squares at our last meeting. (haven't trimmed them down yet).  I sat in front of this computer and pinned on the first 2 strips on each of the other 24 squares that will go into the quilt top.

I also got some of the squares cut to use on the next strip quilt I am going to make myself.  I needed to cut the squares to see how much of the black sheet I would have to use to finish up that toothbrush rug.  Well, for the size I am making, I am 23-10 inch squares short.  I will have to find another sheet to cut later.  I barely had enough of the black left over to finish the last round on the rug, but I made it!

I have a whole list of things that I want to get made before March 19 when I am taking part in a monster garage sale at the state fairgrounds.  Want to see what all is on my list?  You can find it here in one of my blog's on sidetick.  It's extensive, but if I keep on keeping on, I can complete everything in time.   Stopping in Early Today

Mail Box Monday Blog Hop!

Checking In

I took Jasmine off to camp this afternoon.  I have felt this sad emptiness before even leaving the camp. It's going to be a long week for me with her gone.

I have been so incredibly busy this past couple of week.  Tomorrow is no different.  I'm going to be hanging out with my mom most of the day as she has 2 dr. appts. tomorrow and some shopping to do.

I have 100's (literally) of photos and videos that need to be shared on gather...not to mention the regular posts that I do there.
I did get in a post that covers my last 2 Walgreen's shopping trips.  I hope you will check it out.  Walgreen's Shopping 6/10/10 and 6/13/10

Speaking of Walgreen's....I went into my blog dashboard this morning to quickly scan the Walgreen's deal posts and discovered new ways to fix up our blog.  I ended up messing with that.  What do you think about the looks of my blog now?  I am really liking it!

We had our annual rummage sale at church yesterday.  I got some pretty good deals, although most of what I bought were more wants than needs.  I did get a wool blanket for $1 that I need for the inside of one of my quilts.

I'm going to do my best to get back to posting regularly, meaning daily to my blog.

I'm getting closer to cashout points with sidetick.com  and I've been getting more photos put in to redgage.com.  I haven't done anything on squidoo lately so need to get to that.

We are going through some heavy thunderstorms right now.  Flood warnings.  We seen lots of flooded fields while taking Jasmine to camp.  The camp suffered from the last flood our town had.  Just another worry for me while she is gone.  I am just seeing on the news about flooding in Arkansas.

Guess I better quit aimlessly blabbing here and decide if I am going to continue trying to earn some money this evening or if I am going to just head on to bed.

Have a great night,
