Too Much Snow, Too Much Cold

We ended up with a five day break due to bad weather. First freezing rain, then lots of snow. And it's bitterly cold outside. I don't get anything done when everyone is home. Somehow I managed to get everything off my to-do list done last week; probably because I got most of it done prior to Friday. This week is not looking good.

Here's what I've accomplished in the creativity department.

I finished one mini quilt's worth of blocks for Bubblegum Kisses.

I am working on the second group of blocks.

I needed some more design boards. These are made using Lori Holt's instructions. I used all batting scraps. I bought some inexpensive fabric for the bindings. I measured, sewed, cut....and still ended up about three inches too short. 😞 I really don't know how this could happen. The other crazy thing about these is the amount of hot glue I went through. My last stick is in the glue gun and I'm not convinced it's even enough to tack down the binding on the last board. I used more than 10 sticks on these eight boards. That's more than a stick a board. CRAZY!
