Gargoyle Chip Report VI

Here it is: the last Gargoyle Chip Report of winter (or summer, depending on your hemisphere). How has it been going?
I have made very little progress on the gargoyles this week, mostly due to the imminent arrival of spring, and the necessity of getting large quantities of pruning done before it gets here. (I have spent three of the last four afternoons up trees.)

Mending Sheets: fabric for patches chosen and added to the relevant project container
Curtains: relevant section of book bookmarked (scraping the bottom of the barrel, I know)
Rose Quilt: no progress

Gargoyle Chip Report V

This week, I am happy to announce, I did make a little progress. Not much, but enough to knock a sneer off an uppity gargoyle’s face.

Mending sheets: one small hole darned, three worn areas outlined for patching.
Curtains: borrowed a book from the library on how to make curtains.
Rose quilt: no progress.

It ain’t much, but I’m claiming it. How about you?

Gargoyle Chips Report IV

Progress this week?

Nowt. Zero, zip, zilch, nada. Nothing.

Assuming we’re talking about chipping away at gargoyles, that is. I did a whole heap of other things, many of which were large and tiring jobs, which is probably why no progress on the gargoyles. I tend to do most of my non-portable handwork in the evenings, relaxing as my husband reads aloud. This week, the evenings were more fit-in-one-more-job-and-then-crash. Or sometimes just crash, minus the job.

So not an overwhelming quantity of good news at this end. How are your gargoyles going? Still chipping away?
