Quilting, Celebrating and Weekly Goals

 First lets talk about the weekly goals for To Do Tuesday.  I did meet some of the goals and some I didn't as I did other things instead:0

The goals were:

  • Finish four snowman table runners- YES✅ These two are from my Snow Dudes pattern which can be found in my Etsy pattern shop.

                            

And two more make four snowman table runners finished.
                                            


  • Finish two Gnome table runners- YES✅ These are also from my original pattern, if you are interested you can find it in my Etsy pattern shop HERE.


  • I have lots of photos to take and get the items listed in my Etsy shop- I did a lot but still more to go.  

  • Start a Halloween wall hanging(maybe)- YES✅ Witchy Boo that I posted on Thursday, you can see it HERE if you missed it.

  • Every time I turn around I think of something else that I need to get made up for the shop...nope they might just have to wait another week!  YES✅  One reversed S Swirl runner all done.


  • And as if that isn't enough I am joining Melisa at Pinker n Punkin Quilting for her Autum cross stitch SAL.  So I have to get that started and stitch a bit each night.  I couldn't resist as I like to decorate for the fall!   YES✅  I surprised myself at how much I was able to get done on it this week! 

Not bad for a week's work I say!  We also had time to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary on Sunday.  We didn't plan anything big but we did go on a little sightseeing paddlewheel boat in a nearby lake which is part of the Mississippi River.  And then out to dinner. 

Here we are 40 years ago!


And here we were yesterday on the paddlewheel. Yes we had jackets on, it turned cold, breezy and cloudy. 


Okay on to next week's goals...I have a round snowman topper to make for an order. That's the only thing I have to get done.  But I am sure I will work on other table runners and perhaps another wall hanging and I will continue with the cross stitch project. And hopefully get caught up on photos for listings. Oh wait I might play with my new machine!  I'll tell you about that in a later post. 

Linking up with other To Do Tuesday goal setters over at Texas Quilt Gal's blog.  Thank you Linda for hosting this fun linky each week! Also linking with Wednesday Wait Loss and Midweek Makers this week.

  12. Happy anniversary!! I love the idea of the paddlewheel boat excursion. Sounds like a lot of fun. Your snow man table runners are just adorable! And I love, love, love your swirl runner. I've seen the pattern for the one using the 9 degree ruler, but I don't like the sharper ends. I love how yours swirls and has the longer ends. What degree ruler did you use, please? Have a great week working on your projects!
