Indecision and Olympics!

For some unknown reason, at the beginning of this week I had trouble deciding which craft to work on first each day. I know, that isn't a problem really, but I was wondering about my indecision. I like all the crafts I currently have and they are all progressing quite well. As the week went on I came down with a cold so I think that contributed to what I felt like working on. Also the bitterly cold weather that we are still experiencing didn't make me want to work on my sewing machine in the basement. There are two heating vents down there, but it really can't be called warm. 

I did make it down to the basement though for a brief time on two days to work on the borders for the I-Spy quilt. Here is the finished flimsy! It is 45 inches square.

I was hoping to make a trip to a fabric store on Friday to find fabric to back it, but I felt really run down with quite the froggy voice. I would like to machine quilt this and bind it for my granddaughter's first birthday in March. 

The cross hatching on Having a Ball is quilting up quickly. I have about 1/4 of the stitching done.

Hubby and I have been watching the Olympics! I always enjoy watching the variety of sports for several days. Of course, the quilting and sock knitting are perfect for TV watching. 

Speaking of sock knitting, I am still working on the first sock. Getting closer to the toe. 

I am hoping I have enough yarn, but I can always make the toe a different color.

We visited my daughter and her family last weekend. My daughter's birthday was on that Friday. It was very cold so working on a puzzle is a good indoor activity.

 There was quite a lot of snow up in Boston. More than here on Long Island which is still hanging around as we are stuck in the deep freeze. 

I stopped reading Daughters of Victory by Gabriella Saab. I found it very, very dark and kept dreading picking the book up to read. I am not going to waste my time on something I am not enjoying. Instead, I picked up a book I got for Christmas: The Seven Rings by Nora Roberts. It is the 3rd book of the Lost Brides Trilogy that I have been anticipating for quite some time. It is not disappointing. I am just breezing through it. 

I will be joining Frederique at the Quilting Patch on Saturday and Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching. I hope you take some time to relax with some tea, coffee or hot chocolate and pop on over to their sites to see what other bloggers are stitching. 

Thanks for stopping by!
