What a horrid week. I woke up for the first time in a long time and didn't want to come to work. Not that I love it usually, but I generally have something to look forward to. I really cringe to think what month end will be like.
I went to pick up the batik blocks last night. Once again, the shop can't find the fabric I chose, and they aren't sure they have anymore like that. This has been the most disorganized block of the month project I've ever taken part in. Probably won't do it again. Not to mention they're using the evil Thangles, and you all know how I feel about those!
Speaking of demons, I got a letter that the East Central IL shop hop (next month) is doing another Quilt for the Cure project. I'm looking for a picture of it online so I can decide if I'm going to participate. I did last year and when I was done, I was so sick of pink and green I promised myself I'd never do that again. I'm all for breast cancer research and funding, but pick another color!
I know I said I wouldn't do that hop this year but I guess if there's anybody local who wants to, let me know and we'll work something out. There are a couple of shops I'd like to revisit, but Rockome Gardens isn't doing the show this year. Right now I'm leaning more towards doing the regular central il shop hop later on.
So last night I finished putting the binding and tabs on the little advent calendar, and then I fused the ornaments together. They actually look pretty cute. Tonight I'll get the hangers on them, and probably start sewing the buttons on. I still haven't decided what I'm going to do with this when I'm done. Anybody want an advent calendar? I saw another one in the Keepsake catalog that I like better: Kitty Advent Calendar. You put little treats in the pockets for them, awwww :)
And this has been yet another blog about quilting. I really need a change of topic.
