Yeah, yeah, yeah, I hear ya!
I'm still kicking. Working on cool ties every spare minute.
I have a pile with first fills that have been stitched. They need to be cut apart and refilled. Another pile is in the process of getting stitched after first fill, and yet more are still waiting for the first fill. Oh, and then there's the giant pile on top of the thread rack that's waiting to be SERGED. Ugh. Oh well, never fear, I'll get them all done one way or another.
I'm going to the quilt shop's fuzzy slipper night this Friday, anybody else going? I don't know if I'll be working on cool ties or taking a break from that yet. I still have the blue and purple batik quilt for the Linus Project that I'd like to finish piecing. The blocks are mostly set, I just need to finish up placing them and put it all together. Sometime I'd like to make some new summer pants, but I dunno when that will be! And I have 2 pieces of very nice linen that are supposed to be a jacket and dress set, wonder when I'll get to that? If it's like every other year, it'll be after all of the cool ties and quilts are caught up, which means never! :) Actually, I think last year I did get a couple of pairs of pants worked up. I should see if I can locate those...and I need some new pj bottoms, let's add that to the list.
I still have a piece of silk I'm trying to design into a jacket sometime. I can't make up my mind if I want to make it into a wrap or something more structured. Oh, the pressure! ha! I think the only time I get to work on my stuff is if I take a class, maybe I should take more classes. :)
Okay, enough about sewing. It just makes me want to go home and get busy.
It's halfway rainy here today, highs in the low 70s, which is perfect. Wish it wasn't rainy and I could get the bike out. Still need to give the little Jeep a wash and then the top can come down. It also still needs a radio *pokes the Russian*. I know, he's going to add it to his list, which got overrun yesterday by my satellite tv project (don't even ask). Right now he's setting up some contraption on our front porch to shock the rust off of his new Unisaw. Okay, I know it's not really shocking, but electricity and water are involved...that's shocking.
Still writing to the new adopted soldier guy. Haven't heard anything yet, you'll all know when I do, believe me. :) Easter box is on its way today along with another letter. My mom is really getting into this, too. She's been sending boxes to a guy from her church, and now is hooking up with the Soldiers' Angels group to send stuff that's been requested.
Okay, that's enough. Back to work!
