A lot of the charm squares weren't even.  I could trim them to the same size and make smaller blocks, but I don't want to.  I'd rather just pick another project.  So on to Plan C!  Plan B was to use calico for the neutral, but decided on a mystery cream fabric instead.  The squares are 2 inches.   Not quite sure of the layout....yet.  Plan C is make it up as I go along.  lol

Started a sock during Knit Night.  It grew a bit more with some car knitting.  The colors are more muted in r/l.  I think they will be a pretty pair of socks.

Teeny, tiny beads were just perfect for.....

....giving this an icy ring.  I do like the way it looks.  It won't take much to finish it off, just a bit of modge podge to seal the paint and to secure the beads.

Cut a piece of fabric for backing the flower pot wall hanging.  Someone gave it to me years ago.  It has gold metallic speckles and it's not something I'd use in the front of a quilt, but will make a great backing.

Back to cutting scraps.  Petting fabric scraps and cutting them up ready to sew isn't a chore when it's a few at a time.

 

Grey has another baby gecko.  This one hatched Saturday morning.  Snapped this pic a few minutes after hatching. This one likes to jump more than run.  When I was putting him in the new baby box, it took three jumps to be tangled up in my hair near my shoulder! It was the only thing that slowed him down.  Such a little cutie and a very pretty tail.

I think by then end of the week I'll be caught up with the things that need to be done.  I'm looking forward to slowing down and having more time for the fun stuff.

Progress on DJ A1.  Fingers crossed it will be finished this week.

DJ A2.  I spy with my little eye....one hour glass block, six flying geese and four HST blocks.  It's fun nutting out how to sew the blocks together.

The booth on Saturday was successful.  We had fun doing it, too.  It was the first one we've done for a while and as the cliche goes, it was like riding a bike....everything went smoothly...even putting up the evil tent.  We all pitched in putting up and taking down the tents in our part of the street and at different times during the day.  

There's a lot of murals round town and this one was opposite our booth.  It reminds me of an art quilt.

These leapt out of the stash shouting "pick us!".  Metropolitan Fair shoved Chateau Rouge out of the way, demanding to be sewn first.   I have an idea for both. 

The fabric that was picked out a couple of posts ago is going to have to wait, as I haven't picked out a pattern yet.  

I'm using the book below as outright bribery to get this lot organized and get back to post-event order.  It keeps getting pushed down the priority list, but it's going to be done this week.  

Borrowed this book from the library when I picked up this month's book club book.  

 

Ready!

Grey says hey!

We were ready 1 1/2 hours early....better than the last minute.

Our combined super power is taking straight rods of metal and bending them into garden ornaments!

We've been doing the truck is packed with everything for the booth tomorrow happy dance for a few hours.  

We needed an extra couple of tubs, so I unpacked a couple which hold fabric. 

Since no post is complete without at least one photo, I thought I'd share some fabric that caught my eye from one of the tubs.  The two blues and the dark brown on the right are all by The Buggy Barn.  The red is a mystery fabric.  The selve edge is blank.  The green is by Kim Delhi.  

Working out the values is a start, right?  The red needs to be moved to the far right.  Next is picking a light neutral.  That's the other emptied box.  I'm taking it as a sign!  That will be six meters of fabric, which is more than enough to play with.
