February 2024 Reflection

Setting goals is an integral part of life.

Hello February! I haven’t been able to keep up with my crafting like I wanted - so my unfinished list is still very long. I lost my motivation a little this year- and trying to get it back. I just don’t seem to have the energy I use to have. I’m always so very tired.

I am able to take one of the projects off my list today- due to completing Kirstin‘s Whataburger T-Shirt quilt. I love how it turned out. Click Kirstin’s T-shirt Quilt to visit the link.

In the quilting world unfinished projects are called UFO’s (Unfinished Objects). I obviously have a bunch of those – and really need to get a few off my list. Let’s not count all those other projects that I’m saving on my Pinterest board titled; “Weekend Projects”. I already scheduled one day a month (1st Saturday) for my unfinished quilt blocks. Maybe, typing them up in this blog and adding them to my to-do list might help? How are you doing with your projects? Do you have a way of staying on task and getting them done? Do you get bored easily with repetitive patterns and have to move to something else? Do you maybe overthink things like I do and just set them aside for later? Let me know in the comments, I would love to hear from you.

Fidget Blanket (Fummeldecke) Ideas

This will be my first time ever making a fidget blanket- I was so happy to have the opportunity today to gift my Oma a fidget blanket. I love her with all my heart, it just makes me so sad that not much can be done for her while struggling through dementia. She told me it was beautiful and she appeared to like it. I showed her each square and what she can do with it. The first thing she noticed was the wording; „Mit Liebe Gemacht“ which translates to „Made with love“. Oma Hildegard is German and I wanted to make sure she would recognize things and always remember that we love her. What is a Fidget Blanket?
