Hoarding...I did it.

Well, I have to confess that I have been working away on the pig without posting my time.  I've completed the head and have also finished the ears, the nose and two little legs.

I think this covers several dance classes and some appointments, so I'll say another 2 hours.  I know I wasn't working on things all the time at class.

We do have another appointment and a dance class this evening, so I can rack up some more hours.  Bwa-ha-ha!

Big excitement at the house this weekend.  Darling's stuff will be moving to join him to Calgary.  I may have to find a new name for Darling.  It will be good to have that done.  As part of the process, Middle and Smallest's current beds will be moving as well.  Smallest told me she'd like to send her current comforter up to Calgary and use a quilt that I made many years ago as her cover instead.  I told her that since that quilt is a little sad now, I would make her a new one (but she can use it in the meantime).  So I'll have to add that to the project list.  Maybe I can work on Catherine's quilt too...

There are many projects waiting, still! (always!)

2 hours for me, 4.5 hours total.

Little Pigs

Or as Middle is saying, "Little living pieces of bacon!"

I completed the pig body and have moved on to the head.  I also knit a scarf like Smallest's for her ballroom coach's wife (who is the one who handles all the paperwork and keeps track of everything).  She likes it a bunch, so that's nice!

When I finish the pig, I'll post a picture.

I did a little cross stitch when I didn't have a sewing needle to finish the pig, so there have been lots of little things here and there.  I'm guessing it's about three dance classes, plus the scarf which I did at home and during choir.

So, the first hours on the board for Quarter II of 2013...

2.5 hours

All Hail the Conquering Hero

Yep, Catherine wins again.

My pig butt is getting bigger though, but still not enough hours to come close.

Fortunately, the class I've been teaching this semester will be over SOON, and then perhaps I will have a little more time.  Probably not, who am I kidding?
Someone who likes to quilt log cabin squares actually owes me some grades for my class.  I think she's been sewing annoying seams instead of working on my class though...

I did make a scarf like Smallest's for her dance coach's wife.  That was fun, and quick.  Middle has decided that she wants to knit a blanket, so that will start soon. She says she doesn't want to end up like me with a box of unfinished projects.  So then I reminded her of her unfinished scarf, and the cross stitch she started, and the purse she started for Catherine's Christmas present, and... she got the picture.  Perhaps it's hereditary?
