For whatever reason, Paul's alarm went off at 4:30 this morning rather than 5:00. He stayed in bed, snoozing away, but after a few minutes, I decided to get up. Why not, right?!?! The day was WIDE OPEN for anything. It's amazing how different it is mentally on a Sunday vs. any other day of the week.
Once he walked out the door at 5:40 a.m. heading off to work, it was downstairs for me. I will give Deb credit for the task of making up two whole new pink RSC connector blocks instead of just fixing up the 9-patch center of my last boo-boo ones. Ah heck... we all have oodles of scraps, right? When lookin in my drawer of 1.5" scraps, you can't even tell I made up another 2 pink blocks! LOL.
For the rest of the morning until noon, I tackled loads and loads of bonus blue/neutral triangles that have been collecting for the past couple of years.
The blue/neutral block was inspired by a pic I saw during a random search over Christmas vacation; sadly, I don't have any linky information on it :( The other ones, with the splash of red, were initially made for Judy's 2014 January Scrappy T block, and then I've extended that scrappiness by piecing 9-patch and/or crumb centers rather than using a big ol' 3.5" square. I have 20 total blocks made (10 each). I really don't know how many more I'll make; my pile of blue/neutral bonus tris are finally dwindling.
As for schoolwork, I was able to complete a decent amount of it between games yesterday during Caitlyn's BB tournament. Seeing the girls progress from beginning-to-end of the season is always fun and amazing to witness. They have one more tournament next weekend to wrap up their season; Cassie, however, continues to compete until the end of February.
Happy Sunday everyone!
Here's to another week.
FEBRUARY! Spring is nearing day by day.... ;)
