Day Job Resumes

So, it's been a lovely break, but now it's time to head off to Day Job in half an hour. During break, got the carpet, padding, furring strips, and staples out of two bedrooms and a hallway, along with a start on the living room a.k.a. sewing room and finishing cleaning up carpet removal from the stairs. That is very satisfying and pretty good for a person with shoulders that obviously should have had rotator cuff surgery years ago.

The furniture needed to be moved out for this operation, of course, which led to rearrangement of the furniture in my bedroom and the library (the other bedroom). I moved these glass-door bookcases upstairs into my bedroom, along with lots of books and got the entire book collection as a whole rearranged. Very happy to have this done, and that took another day.

I went without television for a few months this fall, and for the year before that, had been losing channels steadily due to Comcast's changes. So when I got AT&T with scads of channels even in its basic version, along with its dandy DVR installed shortly before vacation began, I was thrilled and glutted myself on TV, searching for and recording shows that I hadn't seen for ages or hadn't seen at all. Definite funtime :-).

What I did quilting-wise can't be shown for one reason or another. Oh OK you can see the latest Stickle; is that a thrill or what??

Really can't show this one, but it is an entire quilt top, construction of which consumed all of one of my 18 vacation days:

This is a detail from the challenge project for Repro Divas:

this being the inspiration block:

This is a detail from the third Les Fleurs du Jardin block, which, I am horrified to realize, consumed four days of work:

Did not get to everything on the Quilting To Do list, needless to say, but that will just roll over to January's goals.
