To Do Tuesday 1-31-23

It's icy here in far north Texas! We were out and about yesterday morning just as the freezing rain began, and we saw SO many accidents. Early afternoon, the ice pellets began coming down in earnest, and we even had "thunder-sleet"! I would rather have snow, as the ground is now covered with a very slick layer of icy sleet, and more is on the way today and tomorrow. The temperature will stay below freezing until Thursday, and we will stay inside until the ice melts.

Today I am joining with other bloggers as we show our projects, plan, and encourage one another. Carol at Quilt Schmilt is our gracious host, and you will find the link to her linkup at the end of this post.

My daughter's sweet little kitty, "Roo"

Last week ended up being more busy than I anticipated, as I stayed with The Littles on Friday while our daughter traveled to New Orleans with  her boyfriend for a "Krewe Ball". I was there from 6:00am until 6:00pm, when her ex arrived to pick them up My husband took me then picked me up, so it was a long day for both of us, but we were very happy to help out, and Jenni had a blast! As you might imagine, I was exhausted on Saturday! That is a photo of one of her two kitties - the other one was hiding!

Cross My Heart flimsy!

These were my goals last week:
✅1. Work on Cross My Heart flimsy - Done, and I have a flimsy!
✔2. Work on SAHRR prompt - Although no actual sewing, I did do some planning!
❌3. Work on Sewcialites 2 blocks - I have not made any blocks yet, nor have I decided on whether to use a new fat quarter bundle or just go scrappy.

My playlist for the coming days:
1. Piece a backing for Cross My Heart
2. Get busy on SAHRR
3. Catch up on Riley Blake block challenge
4. Make two Sewcialites blocks
5. Play with whatever catches my eye!

  1. hope you do not get a lot of accumulation of ice today and tomorrow. We have some and expect it to start again around noon for about 3 hours and then again tomorrow - will the power stay on?

  6. Lovely little quilt! Sorry about the sleet and ice...I hate that too. I know we have 2 very cold days coming at the end of the week and I am dreading it. Having a plan for SAHRR is good...need to work on mine today.

  12. Sounds really cold Linda. That kitty photo is so sweet and great that your daughter could get away for awhile and you could step in. Love the Cross my Heart top. All the best for the week. I didn't do a post this week. Too hot! Opposites!

  13. Thank you Michelle. Yes Roo is adorable, and so is her brother Finn. He is fluffier and just as sweet but very shy.

  18. Hopefully you didn't loose power with all the ice. We lucked out with just a bit of sleet on Monday that was gone by Tuesday. Cross My Heart is really cute. Good luck with this week's list.
