Bit of a Break

In an effort to get some things done (not sure done is the right word), I'll be taking a bit of a blogging break. Actually I'm really trying to limit my internet time for a couple of weeks. I will be checking email and I promise that I will read all the blog posts in my Google Reader when I return. Happy Stitches!

Chart 2 Done!

I went back to work on Monday. I have, however, picked my stitching back up and I am making progress - slow progress but progress nonetheless! I have a New Year start to show you once I get a bit further along. I also finished chart 2 of Quakers and Quilts. The Algerian Eyelet has not been stitched in yet though.

I figured out how to change the font on my sidebar but it changed the font on everything on the sidebar. I just wanted to change the font on the header on each section. So I'll go back to the drawing board at some point on that one. I also want to make my blog fill the entire screen when opened. If anyone has any great (fairly simple) tutorial, etc to help with that, I'd greatly appreciate it!

This winter has been much colder than normal. We've had temperatures here below freezing for the past 6 days. Very unusual for Florida. I'm already ready for it to warm up. Typically our average high in my area is 64 degrees for January. I don't know how those of you in much colder climates handle months of it! Please stay warm!

Thank you and 2010

I'd like to thank everyone for their help with changing my blog to a three column format. I read through each and every tutorial and the comments on every tutorial. I find that the comments offer a lot of insight. The code was just a little bit different in my blog. Eventually one of your links lead me to find this link which did the trick! Evidently my blog template is called Denim. Who knew? Thank you all for sending the things that you did. I learned a lot!

I decided to not set goals for 2010. I have so many deadlines with work and I do "this" for fun. Even though it's a whole year, saying I want to get something done by 2010 IS a deadline. I did want, however, to put something on my blog so that I am conscious about what I have going on. So I've added a list of WIPs. If I find that it's not helping me be in a positive frame of mind, I'll simply delete it. For me, the fun part is the actual process of doing. While I enjoy the finished product, it's the part between the beginning and the end that brings me so much enjoyment. I have to say though that I enjoy following other people meeting their goals!

Yesterday, I got a chance to work on this one block. I still need to improve in the area of points. My 1/4" seam was better but not accurate...the block is still a bit too small.

While I was piddling away in my sewing room, Greg was at the Gator Bowl. There were over 87,000 people there to bid farewell to Bobby Bowden. That's more people attending than were at the Super Bowl. In Florida, college football is king! I glad he got the opportunity to go!
Today is a day of knitting and stitching. I hope you have a day full of stitches too!
