a quiet monday

it’s another one of those days where I wake up at 3am and the day looms before me as a never ending uphill hike. it started out full speed …. why not … no one else was up! a couple of loads of laundry done. the kitty litter room cleaned. dishwasher unloaded. 2 fabric shopper blog posts written. 2 breakfasts … hey, if you eat at 3:30, you are bound to be hungry by 8, right? now, at an early hour of 1pm, I am ready for bed! ugh!

i survived  the day ….. without finishing the post for RW and here it is Tuesday. i slept like a baby for 8 hours, woo hoo!

not sure if i will work on the project i started yesterday or cut out some new skirts.

this is for a new quilt  out of picadilly designed by pamela mostek for clothworks. this will be a little more ambitious for me the way i have it thought out. i am using the large floral as a 12×12 square in the middle and then using 6×6’s and 6×12’s of all three fabrics in a pattern i worked out on grid paper. i want to use french knots to accent the stamen in the flowers of the middle block. we’ll see if this comes together. i am such a beginner ;-0

i am feeling the sewing machine calling my name , or is it my cutting table?

rosie's whimsy, the 2010 edition

Bartram Trail 2

Isn’t it great! A new year, a new path to start down … even if you don’t plan on many changes in your over all life style path, it still feels as though the path is clear and waiting to be discovered for the very first time.

Trail

I seem to be coming back to my roots for this new year. I’ve been thinking of ways to share. I believe that will be my focus word for 2010 … share.

My desire for Rosie’s Whimsy is to share with you … things my mother taught me, things I think are beautiful, projects I like to make, friends I have made along the way, places I love to visit, shops I love to patronize … all of which, I hope, will inspire you to do what you love and to love what you do.

Create with me, sew with me, shop with me and talk with me … my email is always open! rosieswhimsy {at} gmail.com

Let’s walk down the path together this year, shall we? ((hugs)) rosie
