Why is it I have such a hard time trying to blog? Time, I say! There just isn't enough of it. Once again it is two months since my last blog. Mind you not much is happening in the sewing/quilting department these days.
My sewing time is almost "nil"... no ... it is NIL!! Work has overtaken my life and there are times when I wish I wasn't so darn dedicated to my work. But alas that is me. I work until things are the way I like them, THEN I slack of somewhat and soon I do believe that I will finally be in the drivers seat and be able to slack off - not be running along side of the vehicle so to say.
If I'm really lucky I get to sew with my some or one of my friends at least once a month. Then the machines get shut down until the next time. Here's to June where I believe that my "Me-Time" will start to be mine again and I can sew a little at nite. I cannot wait as Tillie Topaz and Selina-Elise are in withdrawal without me in the "Down-under Sweat Shop" every day!
In a few days I head off to Camp Wanna Sew and spend 5 glorious days sewing to my hearts content! And I plan to do so for many hours each day ... MANY HOURS!! ☺ I so need this time off... big time!
My totes are packed with projects to finish and I may even throw in a "new" project as a reward for finishing other projects. I will double check all the totes Sunday to make sure everything is there that I will need.
And this weekend I get to meet a fellow quilter/blogger and someone I only know via Pat Sloan's Quilt Mashup. I'm so excited to meet Sarah V. I just know she is an amazing person. She knew my word for 2012 was "Believe" and when she saw a Christmas stocking panel with the word "believe" on it - she sent it to me!! How wonderful is that? I will be making this stocking into "something" but I know it won't be a stocking ... at least I that is what I think right now - there is something forming in this pea-brain I own ☺
I hope to come back here a lot sooner then two month and show you some pictures of when Sarah and I met! And I will also tell you about some swap blocks I participated in this year - it was so much fun!!
Until then - keep your needle sharp!
