1st Finish of 2015

What a great way to start of the new year with a quick start and finish. I've had this scarf on the to do list since September. I knew it was going to be quick, but sometimes it's just not what I wanted to work on. Once I put it on my 1st Quarter To Do list, I felt more urgency to get it done. The 20 degree weather had absolutely nothing to do with it. (wink, wink) This replaces my old scarf that I've had for the past five years. It has done a great job, but it is starting to look worn and a bit ragged. Sorry, for the horrible pictures. It's dark, cloudy and waaaaayyyy to cold out for this girlie to stand outside for pictures. Also if it's going to be cold, at least it could snow! Then maybe I would have stood outside for a picture.

For those of you that are wondering if I'm really that short or if my doors are extremely tall, it's neither. I'm kneeling to get a better picture in my "outfit" mirror. 

I also started the new year quilting this flannel quilt. It's also on the quarterly to do list. I decided to spiral quilt it. Practice, practice, practice new techniques, they say. This one is still giving me a bit of trouble. I seem to have a jump of the thread every time I stop and start to move the presser foot. I keep the needle down and even hold the fabric tight to start again. Oh well, I know it will get better with practice. Getting stuff done is such a great feeling, now if I can just keep this momentum going... 

One of the great parts of sewing yesterday was listening/rocking out to my new Brad Paisley CD on my new CD player. Yup, I'm that wild and crazy. lol I can't wait to listen to my Michael Buble` CD. I think it will sound much better then through the computer, which is how I used to listen to music.

What is your favorite songs/singers to listen to while sewing? Mine defiantly change with my mood and project. From Frozen songs (there in my head from listening to the crazythings sing them over and over and over) to Country to Broadway play soundtracks.

Linking up at Finish it Friday!

Thanks for Reading!
