I was out and about all day Saturday for my birthday.
Sunday was spent with the Mister making a monstrous strawberry birthday cake.
I'm slowly working my way back into some projects after I was all go!go!go! there for a week.
Multiple rejections online and off might have something to do with that.
I've been submitting my work and project ideas to contests or websites or magazines and the mail fairy brought me more than one rejection at once on Monday.
Roundup:
I did get a chance to finish my I Heart Bacon mini which I posted about on Monday:
Yesterday I made hexies:
I see much more hexie making today.
That magazine in the background was a lovely surprise in my mailbox. I had completely forgotten my mother had a deal for two-for-one subscriptions.
Projects that are getting some love in the near future:
Farmer's Wife (oh yes..it's coming back)
ZZQAL
I'm trying desperately to not get sucked into Granny Squares but they are just So Gorgeous.
I don't think I have the types of fabric I'd really want to use for it, however.
I need to find myself a scrap swap.
I've certainly blabbed on about my 'quiet' day. What are y'all up to?
It is s typical day for North Texas in the spring time. The weather is all about doing something, and can't make up it's mind as to what. All of the fuss and bother has my asthma in a dither and I am laying low......stalking the postman in hopes that he brings the backing I ordered.
ReplyDeleteI did make a pillowcase and two 16" blocks this morning.
I've been feeling the granny square pull, too! Ahh, but I CAN NOT start something new til the Swoon is done! I wish I was expecting something fun in the mailbox!! (not right now, though..maybe I need to fix that-ha)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
ReplyDeletesorry about the rejection notices :( Don't give up - you'll find someone who appreciates how awesome your work is.
I can feel the Granny Square invasion sucking me in, must resist, too many WIPs...
Rejection sucks, keep going, someone clever will realise you're awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI'm having a fq swap link up on my blog if you fancy joining in or having a gander!!
A love of bacon! A woman after my own heart. My clogged with pig fat heart :)
ReplyDeleteOne day your yes letter will come!
Belated happy birthday (the cake sounds fab) and sorry for all the rejections, I've not been brave enough to try more than 1 online comp, and I wasn't really expecting to get anywhere with it, I was just having fun. Hope your week improves anyway!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday!!! Love that monkey!
