Well, finally--I have yardage used to report! Actually, this is over a 3-week period as I was making a large (did I say large?!) scrap quilt and used the yardage count per the pattern. I just finished the backing this morning and have shifted the quilt into the LA UFO stack. I really didn't intend for it to be so large but did not want to interrupt the pattern by making it smaller. Anyway, it feels wonderful to see my numbers move in a positive direction. I was able to use a 9+ yard piece of fabric from my stash for the backing, so it will be one continuous pattern on the back.
Skunk report--I think we have been victorious. We still haven't seen the mama or found her den but Smokey, our Lhasa, no longer has little black & white creatures to share the yard with. I let him out early in the week--but was paranoid enough to put him on a leash (he normally wears an electronic collar to confine him to our lot). He was nose-to-the-grass around the yard while I was eyeing the brush on the forest floor--I thought he was just smelling where the first two skunks had been roaming--and it really startled me when I looked toward the south side of the yard and saw 2(!) skunks roaming near the edge of the lot! Was I ever glad I had been paranoid!!
It is a beautiful summer day on the mountain--we are so fortunate!

Another week with nothing new to report--bummer! I have half of the scrappy Bowtie Medallion quilt blocks put together and laying across the front of the longarm--and the other half ready to put together. So, next week I will have a good report!
And there are skunks in the neighborhood! My husband called me upstairs to watch a baby skunk strolling down the street--and since they usually have litters of 4-6, we're sure there are more. The family who live a couple of cabins down from us have a great deal of "stuff" in their yard--and the baby skunk went under a pile of pallets. Oh, no--don't want skunks around! And don't want one to come into our yard to play with our Lhasa! I've told Smokey he is not to play with little black and white creatures--but, I'm sure that admonition will not have any lasting impression if one of those little black and white creatures comes our way. We're on the mountain, so skunks can be a problem--especially with all the wood piles, etc. Do you suppose it would help if I put a sign up saying "Skunks not welcome!"--probably not.

Oh, no--how did the week go by so quickly?! I did spend time in the sewing studio; however, I'm working with scraps for my June UFO and will not count them until I finish the quilt. Then I'll probably just use the yardage stated in the pattern. Sooooooo... Maybe I'll have something to report in the next couple of weeks. Hope everyone is making progress.

Can I report on yard work instead of stash this week?! For the second week in a row I have nothing to report--I'd better get this trend reversed during the coming week! I did spend time planting, repotting, cleaning decks, freezing rhubarb, etc. We just added a small greenhouse in a small clearing on one side of our home, and are going to see whether we can be successful in raising a few vegetables and herbs on the mountain.
