Progress

Now, what am I going to do today?? 

There are a lot of choices. Wherever I walk in my house I see things that have to be done and things that I would like to do. It's Sunday, so that's a good excuse to do something I like to do! Keep the chores for weekdays. 

On the design wall in one of the bedrooms I see some of the houses from the QAL from last year. The time has come to make a quilt with these blocks.

 
 When the QAL started I had no idea what do with a house quilt. I was thinking more of breaking them up and make wall hangings. But... something very nice happened. My eldest daughter got pregnant. As I was fixated on the wall hangings I could see one of them in a child's room. Till it hit me yesterday that a house quilt would also be very nice for a grandchild's bed.
Well, I have lots of time to start and finish this project.

In my enthusiasm I immediately started knitting a cotton baby blanket. Because I was watching movies while knitting, I made mistakes and had to unpick the whole 15 cm. So yesterday I started again and managed to knit to border.


As I am very excited about the FAL I'm participating in I did a lot of work on this quilt. I had to stop because the thread I am quilting with finished and the shop, which usually has all the colours, had a big variety, except "my" colour! Now I have to wait a week, till the thread comes. 

 

 I had kind of planned to work on the above this weekend, so now I have to look into my other unfinished projects. There is a pullover I am knitting for three years now!!!! I could leave the baby blanket (time enough till summer) and finish my my pullover. It would be nice to be able to wear it in this cold weather we are having at the moment.  I still have to finish a bag I am making for my daughter in America, but, because she will be coming over with Easter (1st of May) it's also not a very urgent project. 
With all these non-urgent choices I am lost!! May I continue the pullover. I know I will be thrilled when I can finally wear it.

  3. Oh dear, how to decide what to do next, always my problem, then it is usually too late for any project.
    My advice is to do what you can do in the warmest part of the house
    The house blocks are great and all so different

  5. Zo leuk om een kleinkind te krijgen....en ja, dan gaan we breien.
    Maar de huis blokken quilt is ook erg leuk en nu weet je wat je er mee kunt doen, een bedsprei voor het kleintje.
    Weet je, het is gewoon een luxe om uit zoveel creatieve projecten te kunnen kiezen, maar soms wel moeilijk.......haha.
    Groetjes, Janneke

  7. Gefeliciteerd, Ada, dat je oma wordt! Geweldig!
    En dat huisjesquilt zal prachtig staan in de babykamer.

  8. Dearest Ada,
    Congrats on the new baby that's on its way!
    Well, I would definitely go for the sweater right now. And watch out for not trying to do multi tasking. Watching a movie takes our mind off from knitting any patterns that call for full attention and focus.
    Good luck. We all have to tackle chores like that. For me it is cleaning the house further, making the Tira-mi-su today and tomorrow cooking a dinner for 12-14 people that come to our home. After that I too can start completing things.
    Hugs,
    Mariette
