It's been awhile

It has been a long time since I posted on this blog and I have been really lax on my quilting journey but time to get back at it. Time has a way of flying by and it seems faster the older you get. I'm retired but it seems like there is not enough time in a day. It seems like every week I plan to do some quilting and then things happen...friends drop in, housework, laundry, need to go shopping, playing bridge, weight watchers, meal planning, cooking, playing with my grandson and I am planning to join a gym.....busy, busy.

My sister moved in with me at the end of September because my brother-in-law passed away. This required a lot of reorganizing and purging to make room for her. I have a small bungalow with 2 bedrooms on the main floor and the third bedroom in the basement. Once my two girls moved out I took over all 3 closets (mine is even a walk-in) anyways, I had way too much stuff. My computer and most of my fabric and quilting stuff was in the second bedroom upstairs, which is now my sister's room. We moved our PC's down into the family room along with my sister's TV and entertainment unit so we can watch different programs if we want. I also moved all my sewing stuff downstairs but It still needs to be organized.

One of the things I am working on is a quilt for my sister made from some of my brother-in-law's clothing. I have made a good start but I need to get back at it.

My sister and I also recently joined weight-watchers which we both need. Weigh in is tomorrow....we are both doing pretty good. It has been kind of fun. I enjoy cooking so I like trying new recipes. Tonight I made Buffalo Chicken Chilli (8 points plus), which was so good. The great part is that we have 5 more servings that I put in the freezer for quick future meals.

I am going to sign off for now and hope to be back soon with some quilting progress.
