Little progress on quilty stuff

This past week since the weekend has not allowed me much time to do any quilty stuff.  I have been knee deep in paper work, being tax season and all.  I always leave the bulk of my paper work and filing to this time of year.  I'm almost done all of it, just waiting for some numbers to come in the mail to finish the last of it.

This coming week may be a repeat of last week, where I find little time to do quilty stuff.  I am getting the itch to finish up some renovation jobs that have been started in my laundry room and my livingroom.  I would like them done before the really nice weather comes, when you want to spend more time outdoors.

Even with everything that I have been doing around here, I did manage to sew more than half of the apple core quilt and in handwork I got a half Dresden plate block done.  I have three of these half blocks left to do.

In all of the confusion going on here, this little girl still wanting to be a part of it and have some of her own attention.  This little girl of ours is getting big.  She is, I think, almost full size, which is at knee height.  Isn't she pretty, In a down position, patiently waiting.

I keep telling myself that even though this may be a slow week for quilting, I have made good progress.  It helps to peek at my list every once in a while.  Keeps me from getting down.
