Oh My Gosh
what a week!
It started
with such a great time with Grow Your Blog hosted by
Thank you so
much for taking your time and energy, along with all that helped, to put on
this big event! I was able to grow mine by 95%! Thank you for all that joined
me. (It might be more because I still do not understand Bloglovin’ (sorry you
guys) but I also thank you too!)
I spent all day Sunday surfing all the sites. I joined a bunch of them, some because I liked what I saw, I liked who they followed, or they needed followers.

I am participating
in OPAM (One Project A Month) that I am hoping will help me to finish all the
projects I have started in various stages of completion. See the button on the
sidebar. The look of this button might change but the rules are still the same.
I am doing Buttermilk Basin’s BOM: http://buttermilkbasin.blogspot.com.
and an ornament BOM hosted by Attic Heirlooms: www.attic-heirlooms.com.
These BOM’s will hopefully help deplete some of this wool I
hand dyed last year.
Yesterday I cut
out the material requirements for Aurifil’s Jan. 2015 Designer of the month:

I finished
the stained glass repair I started last week. I thought this was going to be a
simple fix because there was a crack through 2 pieces. When I started repairing
it I noticed the glass the customer brought me for the repair was a different texture so I had to take the whole panel
apart and rebuild it with that glass.
I had my 90
day evaluation this week. I think I’ve been out of the work force way too long
as I found it to be a how can I say…waste of my time?!? Other then my boss writing
words on paper as to my job performance and saying I’m doing a good job, there
was no raise! What, no compensation for slave labor??? Oh well, at least it
gives me something to do…
I have not
bought fabric softener for quite some time. Instead, I wad up about 2 feet of
tin foil (I have 3 balls) and throw it in the dryer. I don’t know how it works
but it softens the fabric without chemicals and helps to relieve some of the
static. When they start to wear out (you can tell because you will start getting pieces of foil that come off the ball) I just replace it with new ones.

Hello Lindi! I enjoyed the GYB party too and I am so glad that your blog grew! Your BOM projects look great fun! Looking forward to seeing your progress! :) x
Love your little wool projects! I've never heard of the foil balls in the dryer--I will have to give it a try--thanks for the tip!
Yes.it was quite a party !
Glad to see you are back at it ... and am fascinated by the tinfoil balls !!! ;) have to try that !
I loved the GYB party too. have et so many wonderful people. I started using the foil balls about a year ago and they are so cheap and easy.
the ornament is so cute. I am going to check out that link.
Sorry you didn't get a raise.
I had heard the same thing about using wool balls in the dryer. I still use the sheets but I cut them in half and it works fine.
Yay, I'm so happy for you that you grew your blog so much! And you've been so busy, wow. Your BOM projects look wonderful, I love that sweet snow man. And great tip about the tin foil, thank you!
Good for you on finishing so many projects! I have so many that I need to either finish or take apart to re-use the beads, but I never get around to it. It's so much more fun starting new projects! :)
Neat trick with the foil boils. I've never heard that before.
