November 1st - Wow, been awhile!

I thought I would come on here and say 'hi' - not my idea, but one I read when I was blog hopping the afternoon!! And found this!!- well, she is doing a challenge to blog everyday........ hmmmmm. So this is why I am here!!

And while I am here, show you what I have done, well, a couple pics anyway.... got my camera back (stole it back!! just for this!!!) and memory is full after 3 pics!! So, here they are:

This brown basket quilt (and I am not a basket fan but LOVE THIS!!!!) was a mystery I did over the summer, just to get me back sewing.... which I tend to not do - bad habit #1.

I am still doing my 20 minutes of sewing a day - totally caught up till hubby came home... guilt I guess.  I don't know.  He LIKES seeing me in there, so I do  not know why, when he's home, I change.......  Bad habit #2....
 
I do have border ideas for this little guy, and after I read this  I know I have to get a few things done around here!!!   The link takes you to Bonnie Hunters new MYSTERY!!!  She is calling it Orca Bay, and I am going to have to do some shopping for it!!  I have the blues, and some background, but I do not have many reds or blacks so..... what's a girl to do???

(Besides clean up my room I mean!!!!)

And here is another Mystery I am working on - it's all finished now, it was a one-day fun time, but I am only  on Step 4 - and so is my friend who did it with me!! Does not make me feel better though!! She's been busy, I have not!!!! 

 These are the main blks - well, the backgrounds have been cut out of the pic - but this is the main component.  Even though I have printed off the last steps  - I did not peek!!  So, I still don't know what I am doing after I finish this step:

This is the future border of this project.... I think it has to much yellow in it, but if winter ever does come (and it's okay if it doesn't!!!) I might like how happy it looks with all the yellows!!!
So, my main reason for blogging today is - what bad habits do you have that you would like to change??

Me, I have already told you two - and I have more.... and one is not blogging... I love to read, but feel I don't have much to share/show or talk about so, I stay quiet......... This month, I will work on changing that.  Plus, - well, another reason I don't come on here is it takes me FOREVER to write this!!!  I loose my pics, I keep working at getting them to go where I want and.... It's all a learning curve, I am ready to drive!!!

And my worse habit?  Dare I admit it??? It's not like you can't tell, but I hate housework!!!!

So, that is another habit that I will change this month.  Well, I probably will still not like it, but the habit I am talking about is - pretending I don't see it!!    This month, I will see it and I will do something about it!!!!

And then, when I am working on my new mystery (along with my other projects - they will be done as leader and enders!!!) I might enjoy my tidy, organized sewing area even more!!!!  (habit #5?? are we there yet, or passed it???? Well, it's not cleaning up after myself in my room - I just push it aside and move on......)

I have a friend who is going through some tough times and I tell her it's all in the habits we keep.  And when I hear myself tell her that, I know that I am also speaking to myself.  So, it's a new year coming up, and now is a good as time as any to work on making real changes in my life.  If not not now - when???   So, how 'bout now?  My plans are to get myself organized and pick up what I see needs it.  Get things done, not just think about it.  I CAN do it, so I will.

I love to see what people are working on and I should let others see what I do too!!

On a little different note:  here is a piece of Trivia.  I just heard this on the radio yesterday.  I live in Alberta, near Edmonton, and I guess this area has not had a snow free October since 1963.

So, now it's October 2011  - that was a 48 year record that just got broken.  hmmmmmm - has this area ever had a snow free November?????

if when  I stick to my 'new' plan -  I'll talk to you tomorrow!!!
