Easy Street progress - step 1

I've been busy sewing away in the sewing room and have made a bunch of progress this week. Most importantly, I started the Easy Street mystery over at Quiltville.com. My color choices for this mystery are blue, green, maroon, brown and creams/white. The first step was for oodles of four patches in brown and creams. I have 122 made and need 70 more. I doubt I will get to them this week but at least I have some made before the next step is released on Friday. Oh, I made one of the bindings for the pinwheel too.

I would have made more this afternoon but I scheduled a trip to the doctor. I've had a terrible head cold for 2-3 weeks (yup, I did teach my kids to share - darn it!) and it has morphed into a sinus infection on Sunday/Monday. I've tried the home remedies - the sinus wash- for the last five days and after starting to feel a little better yesterday it is back to painful in the teeth again so it is time to visit the doctor. I did find some kleenex that have a cooling effect this morning. Ohhhh, I LOVE them. I think I will be getting another box or two this afternoon since I'm sure my first one will be gone by then. As I told my kids - at least I am set for the holiday - I'm going to be rudolph for a bit.
