Since it takes 30 days to form a new habit, I started my New Year's Resolutions now so that they are already ingrained by Jan 1. Two of those resolutions are going to be be: spend at least 30 minutes every day sewing
something, and start taking blog pictures on the weekends when I actually have sunlight (haha!). My biggest obstacle to blogging lately has been lack of time, space and light to take quality pictures. I would really like to start blogging more regularly :)

| That's me, sewing at work! |
Despite my absence from blogging, I have been sewing quite a bit. In November, my department at the library started a program called "
Hand Maker-space" where all crafters are welcome to join us every-other Friday for snacks, fellowship, and of course, crafting time! It's been great to have an excuse to make during work hours, since I help facilitate the program, I can bring my sewing and play along.

| The nice thing about my slow speed of quilting is that I can use new lines when they are released! |
The majority of my sewing room is still packed in boxes (this will be changing soon!), so I've had limited access to WIP's. I
could dig them out, if I really wanted to, but I'd rather just work on things that are handy at the moment. Since we moved back in August, I've been working on my Japanese X and Plus quilt.
This project has been languishing for a while because the blocks are pretty time consuming (since I sew one block at a time), but it's one project that has been easy to get to, and bonus: the majority of the pieces were already cut which allows me to just sit down and sew a few pieces together here and there.
I've been plugging away at sewing these blocks together, I have 33 sewn so far, and need 56 for a queen-sized quilt. Ryan says he wants the quilt finished for Christmas... Will I finish it? Probably not. But I'm going to try :)
