July 2018 Quilt Update


Welcome to the Monthly Update.  What does that mean?  Well, it's just little ol me trying to recap what took place during the month so that I can keep track.  I kind of use it like a journal.  Please sit back and enjoy a peek into a month of my life.

Any links that you click in this post will open in a DIFFERENT window, allowing you to continue reading this without losing the page.

So . . . . If you have followed me in the past, you know that I have set CRAZY goals each month and it's tough when they just don't happen.  I think goals are wonderful - believe me, without them I fear my lack of  movement.  The thing is -- I just don't want another year of unattainable goals making me feel stressed.  I have a busy year ahead with lots of surprises, family happenings, and retreats.  Those items alone give me PLENTY of deadlines to deal with.  As a result, I am introducing the new goal section - hahahaha, it's the same, only reasonable.  Let's hit the ground running . . . or not.  How about a hot drink and a good read?  See, life is good.  Oh, and the goals each month are at the end of the post now.

The previous 2018 monthly update links are located at the end of this entry.  I hope that you make it that far.

1st -  July???  How on earth is that possible.  Half of the year is over and the second half will go by as if we blinked.  Wow.  It's summer in Texas and that usually means camps with my grands each week, but this summer we have decided to do the medical thing.  If you were with me last month, you know that it was pretty all consuming and we expect it to continue through July, HOWEVER, I am determined to live at the same time -- at least as much as I possibly can.  That includes sewing.  Honest.  We are starting out the month on a Sunday and that is a day with my sweetheart, as always.  Opting to keep my  mind occupied, he drags me off to an antique mall for awhile.  As we walk in the door, I fall in love with this corner cabinet.  It matches my dining room furniture perfectly, but the price is just too high for us right now.  Dang.  Beautiful though, right?  A few quilts are spotted as well, but this pink and white is the only one I truly love.  So, so pretty.
