ARGGGGHHH!!

How do you spell relief??? "ROLAIDS"! Work is truely getting to me. Two more weeks and things should return to semi-normal. I won't be torn between three facilities. To work through some of this I have started "art" journalling, sorta. :-) I am not artist, but I can doodle, color, cut and paste. Here's a couple of pics.

My retreat to childhood...no worries no stress. This is my book of doodles, paint, and coloring.

The Book of Me

I had forgotten how much fun coloring and painting was!!

My other stress relievers are listening to my fav podcasts. I just caught up on Tanesha's podcast-Craftygardenmom". She talked about her "Birdie Stitches" blocks. After seeing how cute they were, I searched her past posts to find out who's BOM it was. Yay! I was successful. The BOM pattern was from "Little Miss Shabby" blog. How cute. I have printed out the first three blocks. I hope to start soon.

On my design wall is what I am working on now. The fabric design is Frolic by Moda. I just love those print. The quilt is called
"Frolic-lee Tubular".

  2. I am doing (or should I say still doing) the Birdie sttiches. I have about 4-5 blocks to do and then put it together. I really like your fabric choices for the Frolic. I might give that a try for a Linus quilt.
