Button it up!

I'm still loving the TAST challenge, but this second week was also a challenge of finding time to button this one up! Finally, tonight, I just did a simple alternate short and long angled blanket stitch on the crazy quilt block that was also ignored this week.

Welcome!

This is my typical "look".

I have so many DIY, sewing and other craft supplies that it's actually embarrassing. So far, I've been very good at collecting the needed items, not so good at using them, except for home repairs and the occasional pillow cover.

Time has been a huge factor in that. My Lifelove had a stroke at a fairly young age, many years back, that left him mostly paralyzed on his right side, and also led to more of the work load of our life being carried by yours truly, which takes up more time. He's totally worth it, and some time has opened up from other responsibilities being on hold for awhile, so it's time to make some things!

But where to start? Maybe a blog would help focus energies more, and act as an inspiration? As I write this, I have no idea how that will help, but it seems like a first step that might lead to other steps.

I enjoy DIY, sewing, needlework, genealogy, and about a bazillion other things, so, well, who knows, really, what this will end up being. I hope something good!
