2. WITB

Will cleaning out your ex-husbands house and shed count as a WITB?

That's what we did for the whole 4-8 July. :(

None of my stuff got done, but much of the rest did.

My son has a shed full of memories from his Dad, so that is a good thing.

Much of the paperwork has been completed, so that is a good thing.

Now for the healing for my son.

3. 20 minute challenge on baby clothing quilt

The part I need to work on.

Takes a good 5 minutes to pin and more to sew.

My arms are not doing great, so it hurts to work on for very long.

I worked on this for 2 days and then we were long gone to Las Cruces, NM

I hope to get back into things soon.

4. T-shirt pillows

They are ready to sew up, but have not been worked on.

5. Irish Stars pillow shams

6. Quilt QOV

So, my list is similar to last week.

Sadness

Well, I thought we would get back to "normal", whatever normal is.

But, found out that my DS is going to need to deal with the death of his Dad.

His Dad was not in the picture, but there is still the sense of loss.

We also found out that DS is the only heir to Dad's estate.

We don't think it is much, but it means dealing with all the stuff with an estate.

He lived in another state, so that makes it more difficult.

We will need to go on the road to see what has to be done.

So many legal questions and such that I don't know how to deal with.

So much for normalcy.

If you don't hear much from me, that is the reason why.

Design Wall Monday

Not much done here, but I'm working on them.

I think I've decided only one star on the pillow sham.

Two is difficult to adjust the pattern to.

July Projects

I joined in on a number of Challenges to help me focus on my UFOs and such.

I love the accountability and will keep reporting.

I'm putting them all in one post because it's easier to keep track of. 

This is the current status of the projects I've not completed.
This has been a rather strange year with health and motivation issues, but I've accomplished some things.
Each month I update the list and show what I've accomplished the month before.
Then, it comes off the list as DONE.

I have quilted the body pillow outsides and need to make the pillow form.
