And Sew it Begins...

Well, it didn't take me long to get behind in all those SAL's I am working on!  LOL!!  There are new pages for all three of them that I haven't had time to stitch on yet...but hopefully next week will be a little better?!

I say that tongue in cheek as I'm desperately trying to finish up an afghan I'm making for my Mom before snow hits the Northeast!  I have all the blocks made now, I'm just beginning to sew it together.  This may take more time than I imagined!!  I'm averaging 4 hours to make one strip of 25 blocks.  There are 20 strips in the afghan...so I can only  make about one strip a day...it seems very laborious!!  Here's my progress so far...



I can't remember when the last time was I talked about the Round Robin I was doing with a few other women.  My piece finally came home about a month or so ago.  I haven't had time to pick it up until the other day I decided to work on it a little bit.  I would like to finish it before the end of the year...wish me luck!  Here's where I am so far.  I've been working on the middle square...



Last, but not least, I have to talk about  my beloved Orioles for a wee bit!!  I missed a lot of the games my guys had tickets for this year.  I've been sick for a lot of them for some reason or other.  I did make it to the first post season game last night.  What a game!!  I can't remember when there has been that much excitement, or orange in the stands!!  They really mopped the floor with the Tigers, and my favorite sign that I saw in the stands was the Oriole Bird calling "Here Kitty Kitty Kitty" with a tiger tail hanging out of his mouth!  LOL!!  Anyway, here is how my husband dresses for the game...






The great thing is this was an exciting game...one of the best I've ever been to.  And not only did they win last night....but they came from behind and won today too!!  Let's go O's!!
