Today/tonight I remembered a tip/hint/piece of advice that I always try to follow.
Know when to walk away and take a break.
My day: trying to finish up a quilt for my nephew's birthday gift (which pictures will be posted after it is given. this is my rule that I stick to and you can see in past posts I always do) and I was attempting to spray baste the quilt. Of course I always clear off and wipe down my kitchen table and do it there...but this quilt is a larger lap size and needed more space. So I swept and cleaned my kitchen floor and laid it all out to baste by myself. (Which I always try to baste my stuff while there is someone else around because I don't know about you all, but sometimes it's like an Olympic sport trying to get those layers smoothed out)
So after I thought everything was fine and smooth, I got it up out of the floor only to find a nice size bubble on the back. Terrific. So I put it down and made a necklace. And of course DH wasn't home for me bribe for help.
The plan is to have help to re-baste the back and then quilt it and bind it and give it to him by the weekend. But we will see what happens.
The necklace I made was pretty cool :)
Tomorrow will be full of house work and getting ready for the week and I hope to make up some hair bows, which is something I haven't done in quite a while.
And since I haven't posted pictures in a while...This isn't the necklace I made tonight, I will post that later..
This is a necklace I made from black and turquoise beads. You can find this and other homemade items at thurmans.etsy.com!
Thanks for reading tonight!
