I Am Determined

… to get some things done today.

I finished the second blackwork square into a biscornu last night and started to backstitch around the third blackwork square.

Today, I managed to clean up the craft room. Enough so that I was able to sit down and bead a lanyard badge holder for work. I’ve been wanting to do this for months. And once that was done, I was able clean up the room even more, putting away all of the beading materials that had been littering the area for quite some time. Then I was be able to put the sewing machine away, stack my blank scrapbook albums in the closet, clean up and organize the remaining items that were strewn on the floor and vaccuum the carpet. This also allowed me to uncover the keyboard in there and start to practice the piano, which is on my 101 Things list.

I would like to also finish another biscornu (blackwork square #3) today, spend some time reading Feeling Good and talk to at least 1 out of 3 parents. Those remain to be seen, depending on whether or not I can wait to take my migraine medicine (I’ve been fighting one all day) until bedtime.

Not to leave you without pictures of said finished items, here are the two blackwork biscornus and the badge lanyard. The pictures aren’t great, but they are something:

    That was a productive day! Lovely biscornus and what a pretty lanyard (and I learned a new word! ;)) 🙂

    Great finishes! And you were very productive too! I feel like I did a million things this weekend, but not really any stitching. Hope the migraine is better.

    Wow, you got a lot done before your h/a worsened

    My stitching corner is being taken over by Mrs. Mom Cat. After exploring the entire house [after her incision was improved] she decided my stitching corner was a PET FREE ZONE — and she wasn’t going to have that

    She sits on my chair & peeks around to see if I’m looking at her … or she hops on the desk and curls up on top of my magazine , pattern, whatever I have out

    (sigh) for now, she is content & I’m letting it go. She has been hilarious checking out the INDOORS.

    I love the purple one and the top left one. Don’t get me wrong, I love them all, but these two – well you know you can send them to me 😉
