Well this gal ~ ME ~ just kissed, hugged and loved all the little men in my life, including their father and now my house is PEACEFUL and QUIET. Did you hear the angels singing? I sure did!!!!
Grandpa Dave suggested finding an indoor pool so all the men could go swimming. To say my little men were EXCITED would be an understatement. Oh my, I only hope they are exhausted from swimming and actually sleep tonight. Hey, a gal's gotta have hopes, even if they are high!!
So here are my plans for the next few hours:
-
Sew up an apron that has been "hanging" around (pun intended)
-
Then sandwich a quilt top with batting and the backing. I hope I have batting somewhere in my craft room. Otherwise, that project will be on hold until I go to Wal-Mart again. The quilt top was made in 2004 ~ gasp ~ and still hasn't been finished. Years ago when I was in the same quilt guild as Bonnie Hunter and she was in charge of the charity quilts, she provided directions for A Streak of Sunshine. So my goal is to just finish the quilt. I can't wait for the thrill of seeing something FINISHED.
-
I'd like to make more cloth napkins considering I already have fabric for this project and we do need more napkins
-
And if I were to make just one more churndash block so that I can put it together with two others for a wintery table runner. The other two blocks have been around for more than three years and were made with snowflake fabric. December has Christmas trees so January must have snow, even if I do live in the South and I probably won't being seeing snow anytime soon.
-
I would also like to pull out all of my existing UFO's (that's quilter talk for "unfinished objects") and see what really needs to be done to count the project as finished.
And if I keep on chattin', I'm never going to get anything finished today. |
Wednesday, January 2, 2008 - great plans
The last top I pieced was a Yellow Brick Road quilt and it is still waiting to be sandwiched. I just don't have the space to do it in.
Sounds like a great way to start the new year.
