Christmas is over, back to real life!!  First my last weeks goals--

Cut more Irish Chain strips--Yes
Cut more Blue/Green bricks--No
Cut more Weekwacker strips--Yes
Decide Honeycomb quilt fabrics/size--Kinda
Cut for Caroline Chain quilt--Have plenty for now
Sew borders on 30's UFO--DONE

Now for goals until 2018--

Work on Orange 30's project
Cut more strips for ICC, Honeycomb, and Weekwacker
Decide background for Honeycomb

These will do.  I have lots of cutting to do, and I sew on other things for a break.  I also have to set 2018 goals.  

A few pictures-- 


The 30's orange UFO straight out of the bag--a tad wrinkled!


 A little bit better picture of the colors.  Its that wonderful 30's melon.  


I found a package of Super Hero capes and mask.  Four costumes for the four Thomas boys!


Here are the backs--Batman, Captain American, the Flash (??) and Spiderman.  

I miss summer.  I miss flowers.  So I planted an amaryllis bulb and it opened on Christmas Eve--


Four flowers, they are bigger than my hand.  I wish I had 10 more!  

I hope you had a great Christmas.  Four days until 2018--are you ready??

Your new bloom is gorgeous! Love the superhero costumes! I got a similar bunch last spring with "girl superhero" masks and capes for Sophia's birthday. She loves to dress up.

I've never seen an Amaryllis that color: it's gorgeous.

Looks like the capes were a hit with the guys - what fun.

The REAL WORLD sure is cold these days! We had a funeral to go to this morning and definitely nixed going to the cemetery. Our cats had been outdoor cats, sleeping in the garage, until a couple days ago. Now they are indoor cats and they think that's just fine. I sure don't have any plans to go outside until at least Tuesday. Might even get some work on a quilt done! :) Happy New Year!

Its been busy!  Thanksgiving has come and gone, soon it will be Christmas.  We got our vaccinations a couple weeks ago--Covid, RSV, Influena...
