Kevin dropped me off at school about 6:30. I have been working diligently on my Excel spreadsheets for class. I am quite proud of my attitude and outcome on this. Told my former accounting teacher that I really appreciated all she had taught me because it made the assignments so much easier for this new class.
Now, I am headed to my back-to-back classes. Enjoy them both, but they are also on the computer, so I am planning to do something like piece or vacuum and dust when I get home. In the evening, I am planning to finish another binding if I don't get sucked into piecing. I will try to take a couple of photos to share, if stitching happens.
Life is GOOD!

February 10: Winter Weather
I would take Fall, Winter, and Spring over Summer almost any day, but I do dislike these slushy, icy, snowy days. Tried to go to church, but we turned back. Kevin is a great driver, but nobody is invincible on these roads. This is suppose to be the beginning of the storm, but I doubt tomorrow will be a snow day for me. Guess we could always be in New England digging out.
The Pollyanna spin: I am glad we are receiving moisture in any shape!
Plan to study and then go work in the shop if I can get there without falling down. lol

February 9: Waiting for the Storm
Does not sound like we will get lots of snow, but I am thinking I would definitely prefer that to ice. We will have to wait and see.
Delivered the Tardis today. Think Sarah was dueling impressed. Her family seemed to like it too, but her brother was already thinking about having to help move this heavy item.
Dad is still feeling somewhat miserable and doing a lot of reading and napping. Kevin and I would have traded a nap for all the cleaning that we did instead, but the shop is clean and has been more organized for efficiency as we start our next projects.
Now I am doing laundry and studying. Feels good to sit. Depending on how much studying I accomplish tonight and what the weather brings tomorrow, I may be down in the shop for a few hours again tomorrow. In the evening I will be doing binding.

February 8: Tardis Done
Here it is! The Tardis is finished. There was one similar to one on Pinterest. It is 2'x2'x6'. The whole thing weighs about 235 lbs. At this point in time, we are both a bit tired of blue, but it did turn out better that we thought it would several days ago. There is a blue light bulb on the top that really does light up. As I said, we will only make this one, but maybe we could make one that was a simpler version without the shelves on the door. It would also not be square. Of course it would be a few months before I would consider asking Kevin about it. This was a bigger challenge that we thought it would be.

February 8: Finished and Ready to Mail
#
#18!!! Can you believe that this is the 18th "Cousin Quilt" since we started making these back in Minneapolis a few years ago? Ladies, you have done a wonderful thing. These quilts have been seen in many photos I have received through email and now on Facebook. The next one will be needed in March, when Jim and Teresa's daughter adopts her new baby. Brianna has that one covered, again. Thanks to all the nieces that have worked on these so far, and for the rest of you that will be receiving an invite to join in again this year. Life is GOOD!

February 7: No Pictures, but...
I am now on Twitter. This is not something I have seen as anything worth discussing yet. I could care less if someone needs to tweet to the whole world that they are at the car wash. I need to wash my car too with all this road salt, but do strangers need to know that I am doing that right this minute. (blush! - guess I just told all of you, but then you are all aware that this blog is all about the happenings since we moved back to SD so you probably know that I am capable of sharing strange thoughts.)
later today, we will put the finishing touches on the "Tardis" and then plan to deliver it this weekend. It has been more than a challenging project. Believe me, we have both learned a lot by making this "one-time-only" project. We don't swear around here, but I am pretty certain this projects difficulties have tempted us both. In the end it will be something that will definitely be enjoyed by the owner.
If all goes well, I should have Jakob's binding done before bed and maybe even packaged for mailing. If not it will be the first thing on my agenda tomorrow! Friday is my day to work on business papers and hopefully to sand and finish a couple dozen comfort crosses. The sanding is actually very much a stress reducer, kind of like doing binding on a quilt. Paperwork is something different - organizing, thinking, and reorganizing. Love that too, but I do tend to focus on the minutia far too often. Someday I will have to face the accountant and show my system. SCARY!
Lunch break is over, and I have quite a bit of school work, so I bid you ado and hope you find some way to make this a great day.

February 6: Good Morning!
The sun is shining the temp is 30+ and I am ready for the challenges of the day.
1. Finish homework in applications and web design.
2. Read ahead for InDesign.(I am going to ride my bike while I do it.)
3. Start working on the layout for our business web page. (That is one of the big reasons for being in school this semester.)
4. Finish the last details on the "Tardis" (We had a few issues last night, so the final assembly will not happen until tomorrow.)
5. Spend a good part of the evening finishing the binding on Jakob's quilt.
Dad is feeling a bit better this morning. Thought he might even go down to the studio and embroider this morning. He has not done that for a couple of days.
