This week has flown by hasn't it? Here it is Friday and my goals for the week once again have not been met. I'm not sure if I have an unrealistic view of what I can accomplish or the world is out to get me! Since I'm not completely crazy, yet, I'm pretty sure that I set my bar way to high. These goals may have been attainable back in my 20's when I was one of those stay at home super moms that juggled every household chore plus managed to take care of the yard, and an ill mother in law, bake cookies for school school functions. I could list many more Super Mom activities but you all know, I'm sure more than a few of you were Super also. Well anyway the flitting and fluttering from project to project has produced some results so all is not lost. My closet Yoga muscles are keeping me awake at night so why not just make the best of it by working on my On Podunk Pond quilt. All of the nine patches are cut and partially pieced as of 3:30 AM.
The new plan is finish piecing all the nine patches and add the last coat of paint to my new office. That seems like a reasonable plan. Now lets hope the powers that be agree. Hopefully it's a 3 day weekend for those powers. I get more done when they are concentrating on someone or something else.
I did make a big error in cutting. My middle of the night math is not so great. Oh well it's just fabric and I'm sure I can use them eventually. If not in this quilt then I'll just add them to the scrap bins that never seem to empty.
My fabrics are all pressed, waiting to become a beautiful quilt.. I put away the fabric for the Good Fortune Mystery Quilt so they will probably need to press again.....GRRR.... what was I thinking, I have 3 bars on this quilt frame! That's enough room for 3 or 4 groups of fabric. I'm sure you noticed the big pile of wood in my Studio floor. The house is in a constant state of clutter with all the projects going on. Move the pile of trim to the sewing room while I paint the office. Move the pile of wood to living room so I can get to my fabric. Someday it will again be nice and organized, everything in its place. Someday....
Right now I need to get these walls painted so when Mr. Podunk gets home they'll be dry. He's going to add the new trim to the windows and run a new electrical outlet to the closet. This weekend I should be able to start laying the wood floor with his help. Or maybe its the other way around. He can lay the new flooring with my help.......yep I like he sound of that much better!......LOL!

ReplyDeleteYour nine patches look great! I feel the same way about moving piles sometimes -- and it's just going to get worse from now until when we move in January! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful nine patches. I really love all your greens.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful greens, beautiful nine patches! and good luck with all the re-furbishing!! I don't envy you the job. I just cleaned off the desk in my bedroom with my daughter's help this afternoon, and I know the feeling of moving one pile from one place to another!! haha! But with her around I really did clean out quite a bit! Some of the reciepts on the desk were from 2012: I didn't think things had just been lying there THAT long!!! :-D Hugs, H
ReplyDeleteLove your greens - bright and cheery! You'll enjoy your new office when you get it done - and your muscles give you a break! Oh to be able to do what I did in my youth when slinging a 75 lb bale of hay was nothing!! I keep telling my hubby - getting older ain't for sissies!! LOL
ReplyDeleteI like and followed your facebook group. I have to admit I have not done any on the quilt. I will be retiring in a few months and plan to start attacking many projects then.
