Calendars for the New Year

One of my best memories of New Year's Day was buying a new calendar or weekly planner and transfering the important dates from one year to the next. It was a chance to reflect on the past year, to think about the people and happenings of that year. Well, I still do love calendars. Every year I request calendars from my family on my Christmas list. This year, my friend Brenda at Quilting Cowgirl gave me a beautiful calendar from That Patchwork Place. It is living in my sewing room. It's already open to January with a stunning winter quilt.



 My boys gave me Dachshund calendars. Two different Dachshund calendars to be exact. One is now living in our master bathroom. Each day has pictures of different Doxies. Michael, my son, has a January birthday. The doxie on his date, January 21st looks lots like our Rusty. The second Doxie calendar will live in my office at school. It has big numbers that I can see from my computer.

I also like to have a calendar on our refrigerator. Everyone in the family adds their schedule to the dates so we can keep up with each other. The Chick-Fil-A cow calendar has become our favorite for this job. The coupons on the calendar come in handy, too.
  I also have a PDA that I carry in my purse. It's great for scheduling appointments without having to carry a big planner around. The planner exists, too. It lives in my school bookbag.

Guess, I have a calendar obsession, too.

Orange Crust... Step 5

It has taken me most of the week, but I can now check Step 5 of Orange Crush off of my sewing  list. I used different oranges in my blocks. Hope that doesn't play badly in the finished quilt. I'm loving my fabric choices, but now sure if I will like the finished result. I do like Bonnie's quilts so I'll just have to have patience. I have to remember that at this stage in a quilt I have doubts even if I'm sewing a kit that I love. 

Lot so errands today, physical therapy for me (I'll have to explain the bruises), swim team for my son, doctor's appointment, a bit of shopping and lunch at Chick-Fil-A (one of our favorite fast-food places) I may have time this evening to sew, but maybe not. We need to buy a new dishwasher. Our dishwasher is working, but being to rust. Any suggestions on a new dishwasher ?
