Sorry I haven't been posting much. I haven't done much to use up stuff...except the rug hooking course. And I think you've all seen the photos of that on other threads. It helped to get everything out on shelves where I can see it. Much easier to look and say 'AHA'. However it takes zero time to get the sunroom in a complete and utter mess!

I finished up the gnomes and packed them in Tupperware so they stay fresh.
So they're all ready to go to the rally in June. The lone one we're keeping is wondering what happened, because he was in a crowd and then suddenly he's by himself sitting on top the TV. I'll probably put some Velcro on his little butt so he'll stick to the dash in the truck when we travel.

Finished the brown tone afghan and sent it off to dd#1. She lives in a 3 story Victorian house that is horrible on heat in the winter. She will be comfy and warm on the couch now!

SD, your gnome is probably just glad he wasn't one of the ones packed up in tupperware. That's scary and he's probably keeping a pretty sharp eye on you. If you get out the canner ... he's running!

Two more afghans in progress. More yarn out the door!
Plus my rug loom, which I think I'm going to have to seriously think about selling, due to the arthritis in my neck getting no better.

My grandma had a loom like that. She used it to make rag rugs. I would have had it but we don't have room, so my brother took it and still uses it.

Okay, so I didn't really like the sky in that Caribbean scene. So I ripped it out and put in a new one. Plus I did a small piece of a stormy ocean. You can see them on the 2012 20 Wishes thread here.

Haven't done much sewing/quilting, but my girlfriend is coming over friday for a sewing day! I can't wait! I am going to...
1. Trim and bind a table runner.
2. Piece the backing for a quilt and get it ready to send to the long arm quilters.
3. Sew up 3 sample stars for next years Christmas ornaments, they are already cut, shouldn't take that long.
4. Start working on a quilt for my mom's 70th birthday in June. Using all fabric from my stash!
That should keep me busy for the day!~Kim~
