It started with a feeling of accomplishment in my Saturday morning running class, but it sure did kick my butt for the rest of the day!
So, along with some slow stitching this morning, I actually got some extra stitches done yesterday.
I'm working on these sweet little blocks for the next part of my Midnight at the Oasis...
Although, after reading the post over at Kathy's Quilts this morning and seeing her Life is Beautiful progress, it's made me want to get back to my own.
This block has literally been on the go for months...
I think it comes down to the fact that I just don't like it! This block will be a priority in the next week, just so I can put it away and get to the next one.
Next week is the Around the Bay Race in Hamilton. Back in September, a couple of weeks after I started my Learn to Run class, I signed up for the 5k portion of the race as a goal.
I've started peeking ahead at weather reports for that day, knowing that things could definitely change in the next week. When I checked yesterday, it said it would be 6 degrees Celcius....not bad! Today I check again and it says 11cm of snow....what the heck???
Maybe I'll stop looking and wait for the day to arrive to see what it brings!
I am linking up with Kathy for Slow Sunday Stitching, and with Cynthia over at Quilting is More Fun Than Housework for Oh, Scrap!.
I am awful at running, maybe I need a class. I never knew they were available. I hope your run has a good day. I like your blocks. Enjoy your stitching.
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are really nice. But I just love the Life is Beautiful project, so I'd say definitely try to get that one finished so you can start enjoying the process again! Good luck with the running.
ReplyDeleteI've always wished I was a runner...my knee's say otherwise! Love your little orange peel blocks!
ReplyDeleteI don't remember stitching this block! And I think I only have one left... will check today and see if this is the one!
ReplyDeleteKudos to you for the 5K goal! Running is not my cup of tea. You know, you don't have to do anything you don't like. Pitch it, and start one that gives you joy.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra! I love your orange peel blocks! They are so beautiful with colours on low volume base. I have a nice walk with dogs every morning. It's good time to make plans and think my projects. x Teje
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see that you're working on a part of Midnight at the Oasis, it makes me want to get mine started. I've not done much applique, but would love to learn the techniques better. I really like the Life is Beautiful block you're working on! Looks like you're halfway done, so not too much more work!
ReplyDeleteI applaud you for getting out and running. Hopefully the weather is perfect for you. Thanks for sharing your lovely blocks with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteLove your backgrounds on your petaled applique. The embroidery will be sweeter to you once it's crossed off your list!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your Life is Beautiful. Do you have one that you like lined up to push you towards the finish line?
ReplyDeletePretty blocks. I would be staying inside with such a weather forecast!!!
ReplyDeleteLove those peel blocks! They have such a fun mix of fabrics in them.
ReplyDeleteThe peels are so pretty. Good luck with the race and hope the weather is what you are hoping for.
ReplyDeleteNooo to the snow next week! Make it go! Hopefully that is for YOUR lake; MY lake is going to be balmy. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWe all appreciate your information. Keep posting these kind of nice blogs.
