April

This month is slipping away too quickly.

I have a few projects finished, a few in the works, and many more spinning 'round in my head.

I need to get my camera back from Aaron.
I have another camera, dead battery (charging as I type).
Of course it had to die Saturday.
Jill was at state solo/ensemble.
:(
I got a few shots of Jazz band
Had a friend take a picture of her handbell duet.
She also had bell choir.
I am really going to miss going to all that stuff! 

My son went to Norway

and he took my camera, here are a few shots....from the airplane. I do not want to think about what a little airplane his last flight was...but the pilot let his come in to the cockpit the 4th one.

 This is Bergen

Fjord in Skien, I think its Skien...

no photos

No pictures from me this week.

My camera is in Norway!

April to do list

• Dish cloths. A friend of a friend asked for some to sell in her antique store. So far I have sold 3 sets. 
• Jill's quilt. Finish cutting the squares and start stitching.
• Get that Etsy shop going!  Allison and I are both trying to get a little ahead on inventory. I have a couple pillows almost done. (Some scarves done, but won't bother listing them til fall). But Allison sells her baby hats as fast as she can make them. 
• Baby my knee. Its so dang sore, my appointment is May 1 - far away, but the earliest I could get it without having to take off work.
• Order Jill's senior pictures. Its going to be hard to decide which ones to choose! 
• Buckle down with spending. Financial aid did not come through for us like we had hoped. Jill's tuition will be more than I make in a year. Lord help us!

March done list

T shirt quilt. A little progress, all are squared up. baby steps

Finish afghan for Tom. done and delivered, can see it here

Declutter.  nope, didn't happen ...yet

Start going through pictures to display at Jill's graduation party. Didn't do this yet either

Exercise!  No. Torn cartilage in my knees is awful. I  had an MRI and saw an orthopedic surgeon in Dec, she told me it would heal. I saw my family doctor a few weeks ago. He was not happy with her opinion, he said its completely detached and I should get a second opinion. So back to LaCrosse, and they sent me to the same doctor (ugh)  She told me this time its just arthritis and surgery wouldn't help. I don't think so, my knee cap moves and it hurts a lot. I know what arthritis is, and that's not the problem in my knee. So I will get another opinion, but not til May.

Prom dress shopping with Jill.  She wants to wear her homecoming dress from her junior year. Nice :) 

Start a quilt for Jill. I started cutting squares.

Not on the list I made several pillows, dish cloths, and other small projects.

remember my sneak peak?

 Here is the finished project.
A 16x16 pillow that makes me feel like spring will not be far away.
 100% cotton yarn, not sure how it would work for a pillow,but its soft and the colors are bright.

I also made a couple sunny yellow dish cloths. I hate doing dishes, but pretty towels and clothes make it a little more bearable, LOL.
