Stitching Stuff: Week 2 of 2025


I'm trying to get back on track with my regularly scheduled activities.  Grad Girl left Friday to head back to Texas.  She ended up staying an extra day due to the snow storm that blew through here on Thursday.  The house was so quiet yesterday. There's no kid taking a nap on the couch in the afternoon with the TV on and no thunder of paws going up and down the stairs.  It was so nice to have Grad Girl home for almost 3 weeks.  She'll graduate either this May or August, so it's the last long school break she'll have. 

I've been fighting a cold the last few days.  On Wednesday I was just too out of it for much of anything, sleeping in the recliner a big portion of the day.  It was just too much energy to think about stitching, that broke my 373 days long streak of daily stitching time.  I'm still not 100% on the health front, but I have been back in the sewing room every day since.  My numbers for the year don't look so bad.  

  • 15 minute days/week = 6/7 days
  • 15 minute days/2025 = 10/11 days
  • Success rate = 90.91%

If I can maintain between an 80% to 90%  success rate this year, it will still be a very good and productive year.  

Now that Grad Girl is learning to sew, Queenie spent more time in the sewing room since both of us were there.  I set up a place for her to sleep on the window seat, which is her preferred perch in the Grad Girl's room down the hall.  Typical cat, she decided there was a better place to nap when hanging out with us. 


  
Apparently my fabric to be pressed bin was far more comfortable.  

How did your second week of 2025 go?  Are you holding firm on all your quilting and non quilty resolutions?  Or have you already fallen off the resolution wagon?

    Got a chuckle out of Queenie, she is so pretty and yes, so typical. Friday was still snowy here, I guess Grad Girl did not have any driving issues. Hope you are feeling much better.

    so often the best thing to do with a cold is just sleep off and on all day

    Glad you're feeling better! Sometimes that happens after the busy holiday time. Your photo of Queenie is a hoot! I'm working on a big finish, so that feels pretty good. I think this week I'll just play with my scraps!

    Well, shoot - sorry that sickness is what broke your streak. Queenie in the bin is so funny.

    It makes some sense to me to sleep through a stitching day -- no pressure to keep up 100% for the rest of the year. Queenie seems to be implying that no one should question her royalty. She likes her "throne."

    Hi Kate, I can imagine that the house seems empty now that grad girl and her cat are gone. I hope that you feel better soon! I quilted like crazy at the beginning of the week and then slowed to a crawl. I just can't keep that up!
