So my laptop is still dead, the computer in the tvroom is still sketchy & you would think with all of this not-on-line time I would get so much more done but I think I am actually accomplishing less. This year did not start with a bang.
I did manage to baste & quilt a quilt top from last year but then it sat & still sits unbound & unfinished. The binding is stitched but not pressed. I seem to be stalled an arm's length from the finish line.
I started a scarf for the Red Scarf Project, finished it too even though I had missed the collection deadline by about a week & a half & would of had to keep it safe & clean for another ten months except it turns out it was too wide & too hairy (they frown on mohair-y-ness because people say it ?itches?). Not having a computer to check & treble check the guidelines was a problem. In happier news, C****** liked it & took it home last week & the pattern I sort of doodled out is easier enough that I have already made another (not in red, not for the Red Scarf Project, but whatever).
I finished the February book club book Baking Cakes in Kigali by Gaile Parkin. It went fast, didn't make much of an impression or so I thought until I found myself really wanting cake. Enough to bake one.
I missed another month of Block Lotto, tried again to drop out of the Quilt Block Swap & generally just kept my head above water chore&household-wise.
It seems in the absence of dumping my brain out onto a page I get rather clogged. This week-end I think it might be laptop buying time.
