Well, here is the second of the sections for Cabin Fever's BOM. As one can tell, it's certainly not the trees that God puts on this earth! But, it's done. This piece took me 5 hours. Yes, that's 300 minutes, if my math is right. And still it's not 'perfect.' I lost one of the points on the tree branch, but didn't want to remake this section or even that little piece.
I did - however - do a darn good job on the piece of the ground that was only 7/8", if I do say so myself! Is this something like progress? Better not get too full of myself about this.
Today, I am cutting out Tom the Turkey and the Farmhouse sections and will work on these. I am leaving "Tom" until last, as I know he is going to be one tough bird to tackle.
Told Dear Husband that I wanted a new sewing table for Christmas. I have big plans to convert my office into a sewing room. Yesterday, I took a very big step in this direction. I took every business book I had (there were many) out of my bookcase and am taking them to our local library. I purged hard copy files of business related matters. This activity was so freeing, it was unbelievable. I have completed my transformation from business exec to busy retiree. Oh, what a feeling!
Onward to the cutting matt.
Nice trees Karen! Take pride in the fact that you have created something beautiful, and have a hobby that calms the mind. (how opposite from skating, huh?) I will try to add your name to my LJ profile. Can't wait to practice the intro to my European - as predicted, he came up with something perfect!
ReplyDeleteSuzee, you are absolutely right in your advice about my quilting. Thank you for reminding me.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry I couldn't stay today for your Killian, as I would have loved to see it. I am so amazed at your ice dancing progress. You and J, once you both set your mind to something. you certainly achieve it. See you Friday? And, love your hair!
