Not Much New

As the title says, there is not much new around here today.  A lot more dreaming about things getting done then actually things getting done.  No weight loss this week. I actually gained about 4 ounces. I am calling it extra water gain and that is the story I am sticking to.   Then again, it might be from the nachos that I ate with hubs during the Super Bowl game this past Sunday.  We did substitute BBQ chicken for the normal taco seasoned meat, but there was cheese of coarse. 

I did pick up some charm squares today when I re-dropped off daughters quilt top along with the backing we picked up last weekend.  I am also hoping to find a jelly roll in this same group to use along with these.

I love, love these colors.  They are the exact colors I am trying to add to my living room.  Cannot paint the walls yet because hubs and a neighbor are going to close off some of the very large opening from the dining to the living room to something a bit smaller so the room more comfy for me.  I am use to very small rooms because we lived in a bungalow before this house.  I actually lived in that same house for 28 years.  So these really large open rooms just feel strange to me. 
But I have gotten off subject haven't I?   I bought the charm squares to use as appliques in the BOM that I talked about a couple of days ago that you can also join here.  I have coffee stained the linen that I cut into squares for the middle blocks and I have picked up the thread that I wanted to use.  I found some fusible webbing that I used on the butterfly quilt top and have some pieces ready to fuse on the block.  But, I did not have any fusible fabric stabilizer.  So this is as ready as I am going to be tonight.

 I was really excited to start the hand stitching but it will have to wait until tomorrow when I get back from the city or possibly until Sunday afternoon because my wonderful hubs is taking me to a Valentines dinner at church tomorrow evening.  Hoping to find a new dress tomorrow and a few needed items for projects and be home in time to get all gussied up for my date.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.  Blessings!
