Valentines day and PhD on wall.......

Well, I am thinking Valentines today, and Martha Stewart sent me some info on making stuff for it today!!! Cards!! Lots of different cards - and that just might be fun to do!!!

And, I pulled off the D9P from my design wall, and pulled out a PhD today - one that is not on my list, but one that I want to do. I was in a swap a few years ago now, and I have the blks on there, roughly, and am deciding what I want to do with them. So far, I am thinking of a sashing between them - but the fabric I have that I liked as the break up fabric, well, I do not have very much of it.... Looks like I need to do a little shopping here!!!

It feels good to be working on something, other than the bit's and pieces I have been doing. My leader/enders have turned into my 20 min sewing projects, which defeats the whole purpose it them!!!!! So, I thought to myself "self - get out a UFO and get to work on it!! You told yourself that you wanted to get through 2 a month - AND - you joined Myra's PhD challenge and here you are piddling around with nothing to show for it!!!!", so I listened to me, and I have a project up to be worked on.........

With tons more waiting to be shown the light of day.............

And I possibly have tomorrow off so......... besides doing something with the hamburger I bought yesterday, I will be sewing.

This is not a great picture of the fabric, but what I like about it is, it's got a dark background with gold through it - I am thinking the blackness of it will calm the blks down. I was thinking of putting them into sets of 4, with sashing all around them and a gold cornerstone in each corner....... Am I getting my quilty terms right!?!?! I love when I call what I think is the right word for it, and it's just so not what I am talking about! ah well. I am off to work now - enough with my creative thinking and contemplating for today. Back to packing groceries into boxes for people and just have some fun..... yeah!! Hi, ho, hi, ho, it's off to work I go..........

PhD's - look out!!!

Well, Myra, I am in........

I have a very large colletion of PhD's - Projects half Done. Or the flying saucer things - UFO's but my UFO's are just hovering and not doing anything exciting, so, it's time (has been for a long time now!!) to get these DONE!! Finished. Complete. Make room for something else.

It's amazing to me how I can keep moving on from one project to another and not even think twice. These undone projects take up alot space in my room. And really helps with the mess I posted already this year. I am publicly commiting myself to getting these done.
On my list I started to create as '09 was ending of things I would like to see myself doing this year - 2 of these projects a month is #4 - Finish Phd's!!!! At least "2" a month.

Okay, I am going public with my goal! I am now accountable to others. I am going to be making my side bar list later on today, or tomorrow. And figuring out how to get the link to Myra's blog..... Right now, I have a border to put on my Christmas Lights, and make sure I am ready to go to work by 2.
I was woken up this morning earlier than I wanted to be, so that is not a good thing. I am ready for a nap, but don't have the time if I want to get my sewing done. And, since I wanted the border done by tomorrow, I have to get the 2nd one today, so tomorrow I can get on the third!! Yeah!!! And make the binding for this project and I am ready to move on to the next best thing - getting my projects that have been waiting a long time, done. PLUS - I have moncromatic quilt that I have to have done, complete, finished, by my guilds wind up meeting in June of this year!!!

so, I have definite plans and goals to work on this year!!! thanks Myra for the push!!!

(I will be working on this page later with what need to be included here!!)
