These days, it is all about keeping up with just keeping everything tidy. Snow, lots of it. It helps to shovel frequently, so that once the snow event is done, one are not left with a mountain of snow and ice to clean up. (Except, this past weekend...someone has a sense of humor!)
Housekeeping is important, including with current projects. 365 Challenge from 2016 is officially all cut out. All ready for sewing and finishing the blocks. Taking the time to do this preparation up front, makes sewing the blocks a lot easier. A few more months to do. Making a start after a long break, is always so much more difficult. One block a day.
