It was a long week back at school. It is cold which is unusual for here. Getting back into the flow of things again will take a bit longer I think. I am thankful to have a weekend, even a cold and rainy one. My slow stitching time today will be devoted to hand stitching the binding on my first ever quilt. If I get energetic, I might even try a bit more hand quilting. Hand quilting is not easy through high loft polyester batting, but we live and learn as we evolve in our quilting. I am enjoying the idea of turning my first attempt at quilting into a finished project. It only took a bit more than 25 years.
If you have more than one RSC25 project in the works, or have a few ongoing projects from years past, these tracking sheets are a great way to keep track. Stephanie makes them for us each year and there are several formats available depending on whether you want to use them electronically or print them and go analog.

I randomly drew the powder room as the next project on the "To Do" list. Honestly I thought it was in pretty good shape. It is just a half bath on the main floor that doesn't get used much. I keep some extra guest towels on the back of the potty.
It was quick work to sort through the sunglasses and sunscreen. I am not sure who thought that bug spray, aloe and lotion should all start living in there, but they got moved out. There were some sad and broken sunglasses that have gone away. I really need a few matching containers that are slightly larger to hold those, so I will keep my eyes open. I am not much of a shopper, but maybe something will turn up.

I used that lofty polyester batting for my first quilt too. Horrible stuff! We live and learn. It’s is definitely time to finish this ufo! I have several corners of my house that need a clean out.
Thank you for linking us to the RSC2025 Tracking Sheet. I've printed mine out and hopefully this will keep me from picking up too many "new" projects and, the ones I do pick up, on track for finishing the same year. Enjoy your cold, rainy day hand sewing. Your bathroom looks great!
Hope you've had some time for the slow stitching. An essay for statistics? I do get that statistics is not all math, there's a lot that goes into thinking about the data you are applying the statistics to and the decisions you make as to what to include, leave out. Hope the essay goes quickly.
Since we do not use powder, I call such places "the little room" as it is the smallest space that people go in a home. I don't refer to closets as rooms, just an arm goes in there.
Why not make a basket to fit the little corner stand to use for the sun glasses and sunscreen. You could put some pockets inside to keep the items separate and neat. I'm sure you have a few scraps you could donate to the cause.

Your first quilt is pretty, glad you are finishing it. I think many of us started out with lofty polyester batting. I did too, the only batting available here (still is). The wardrobe is first priority on my clean out list, whenever that happens!
