Monday Motivation: Make a List
I LOVE lists. It is so satisfying to see things written down in an orderly fashion and even better to check things off when they are completed. When I feel anxious and overwhelmed I make a list. I have lists…
Unteraegeri Log Cabin Quilt Finished!
My February OMG project, Unteraegeri Log Cabin, was a UFO for over 15 years but is now finished. Hooray for challenges that get things moving! It was the only thing I finished this month, but I’m happy for any progress….
