I did sew this week, but don't have much I can count as no quilt tops were completed.  I made 14 more scrappy blocks with my 3-inch scraps but haven't decided how to put them together.   I cleaned my quilting room and put things back where they belong, and ironed some shirts for my DH.  Then I found some red hat fabric I had quilted years ago; I remember that I had planned to use it to make big craft bags to give to my sister and niece.  I decided that it would be a lap quilt instead, so I made binding and finished it for a different purpose than planned--and have a complete finish!  And then while perusing Pinterest, I again saw pictures of the Sunshine Pineapple quilt--oh, it is sooooo pretty!  So I added it to my list of "want-to-make" patterns.

I started cataloging decorative painting magazines--a task prompted by a request my son made for a painted sawblade for his shop.  Unfortunately, the lifting of heavy boxes caused a flareup of my back problems, so I'm moving pretty slowly and won't be running any races this week!  I have some more cataloging to do as I'm about half-way done--I would like to get back into painting again to reduce my stash of items collected for that purpose.

We went to a private viewing of "Saving Mr. Banks" that was arranged by the Senior Center.  We took friends with us and it was a nice outing.  It was funny because several of those who attended remarked that they had not been out that late all year (and it was about 7:30 pm)!  The mountain goats continue to provide a show; the herd grazes about 5 miles out of town.  And they really do leap from craggy rock to craggy rock like depicted in many pictures!
