How do you deal with stress?
Rather than start drinking… I’ve chosen a few more constructive outlets.
I’ve been deep cleaning bedrooms and purging old toys, clothes, and more. For a girl who really doesn’t love to shop, I’m amazed at how much there is to give away. Lightening my load feels so good.
In between cleaning, I’m still obsessed with Farmer’s Wife, also better than drinking.
The block above has got to be one of my favorites that I’ve made so far. It’s no. 55 Linoleum and it makes me think of a scrubbed clean country kitchen.
I’m still drafting rather than using the templates. The corners on this one made me scratch my head for a minute. Kids, pay attention in math class. You will need to know geometry someday, especially if you quilt.

More turquoise. This is no. 12 Broken Sugar Bowl. No pun intended, but this block turned out a little too sweet for me. I wish I would have used something more aged for the background fabric.

A little contrariness makes a person interesting, right. I love how this block turned out too.
I’ve laid out a few darker blocks to work on today… and we’re tackling the craft closet. That is if I don’t get a concussion when I open to door and have it all fall on my head. Yes, it’s that messy.
