Hello There! I hope you all are doing well and enjoying Spring weather! Here in Southern New Mexico we are expecting our high temps to be in the lower 90's already! Yikes!
Slowing Down.
Late last week, I noticed that I'm having a "fibro flare up" - fibromyalgia has decided to rear it's ugly head again. With end of the semester obligations, the timing is terrible - but then again - there is never a perfect time!
Instead of barreling through, I've decided to take care of myself. One way of self-care will be writing "mini posts" instead of my usual full posts. I'm sure you all understand and perhaps can be blessed by this Scripture:
Blessings to you all!To Do Tuesday.

4) Begin a baby quilt with the remaining layer cake squares from the Simple Scrappy Sampler! Can you believe there's still some left?
5) Continue stitching my Fabri-Flair project!
Let's be real....Probably just #1 and #2! :)
After finishing up the Simple Scrappy Sampler, I wanted to also finish up using the leftover fabric, so I started this baby quilt!
I added a white border,
then a pink border!
Aren't my friend's shoes so cute? :p
The backing is Kate Spain's Paradiso with parts of the remaining layer cake in the middle!
My sweet daughter
will be quilting
this one for me
and adding the binding -
which will probably be purple!

Cute baby quilt! Hope you are feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm making one last baby quilt with the remaining fabric - gotta get the stash out! Thank you for stopping by and commenting!
DeleteIt's so good to recognize when we need to rest! Love that quilt top and the quilt backing!! I hope you feel better this week!
ReplyDeleteRight? Thank you! I so appreciate yours and everyone's well wishes! Thank you for stopping by and commenting!
DeleteI have been trying to apply Psalm 46:10 to my life, "Be still and know that I am God.", I am constantly pushing myself until I have to stop an rest. Be sure to take care of yourself. I love your flimsy.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Missy, for your advice and Scripture! That is one of my favorite Scriptures - I SO appreciate you reminding me of it! Isn't God so wonderful? :) I'm really liking sewing with bright colors. I'm not sure why I purchased so many darker fabrics when I first started sewing. Now, I'll be looking for brighter blenders as my "go withs". Isn't sewing so much fun? I love it! Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting!
DeleteYour quilt is too fun. Some little baby will love being cuddled in it. What size are the squares?
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize you have fibromyalgia. I've heard more than once how painful and limiting it can be. I hope you feel better soon.
Hi Nancy! Thank you for your kind comments! The squares came out to roughly 3 1/2" and the borders are 4". It went up really quickly! Yes, it can be a challenge, but I try to keep positive and take care of myself! My grandbabies are the best medicine! Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting!
DeleteWow, it's hard to imagine weather that warm. Less than a week ago we had snow! Though, thankfully it's rain now.
ReplyDeleteI hope your flare-up is mild and short.
Right? Our pear trees and nectarine tree already have fruit about an inch big! I'm enjoying cool mornings and evenings outdoors while I can as soon it will be too hot to be outside.
DeleteI'm also hoping for a mild and short flare-up. We're going on two weeks. May have to bring the wheelchair out. However, I've learned self-care without too much guilt.
Sewing and crocheting are extremely therapeutic! I've missed blogging, so am slowly going to begin again this week! It's not cancer, so I'm blessed! :) Life is good! :)
