Jane-rally successful!

Well, the first (probably of many) Dear Jane-a-thon is over!!!!

What a weekend!!!!

I toiled at the sewing machine from sun up to sun down!!!

from atop Prospect Mtn

(well, not really... Mr. U took this photo this AM while hiking his fave mountain!) but I did work in my pajamas most of yesterday!

It was so stressful, I just about gouged out my skin!

it's fake!!!

(well... not really! Nature Boy is perfecting his wound-making skills for an upcoming film and possibly for Halloween!) and it wasn't all that stressful..... really (though I did do my share of ripping out)!

I did buy myself a new toy to enjoy in my sewing room....

my new toy for the sewing room!

... a dock for my IPhone with a clock radio. I listened to some wonderful podcasts (Craftsanity, CraftyPod, Sew Forth Now, Simple Arts and Grandma's Sewing Cabinet) while I sewed to keep me company... and I learned a lot too!

I twittered frequently with my Jane-a-thon companions, Sarah in Canada, Fanny in the USA and Holly (with the cutest puppy) in Australia... how great that I can hear from my quilting pals all over this earth in mere seconds!!!!

And I managed to complete 16 blocks!!!!

Dear Jane-a-thon Results! 16 blocks!!!

So... add 16 to the 22 blocks I have all ready..... then, take away that number from the 225 blocks total (ACK!) and........

I have a lot more Jane-a-thons in my future, don't you think???? OY!

Yup, that's me!

    Yeah! Great blocks. And you got quite a few done. Just concentrate on how many you got done, not how many you still need to do.

    Way to plow through! I really need to get an iPod dock for my sewing room. It would make things much more fun!

    Yay Lisa! You win the prize..except there isn't one. How about bragging rights instead? Thanks for Jane-ing along with me. We will have to do it again soon.

    That is a major accomplishment and some serious sewing.
    Your son could work for Hollywood.
    It looks real.
    Looking forward to meeting you.
    Take care,
    Debra
