A day just for me?

Since the year began I hit the ground running, knowing that I'd be busy with work outside the home, and my own quilting business.  Both are very satisfying jobs and the variety I see on a day to day basis is inspiring.  But I do miss the occasional afternoon when I could sit down and piece a top just for me to mindlessly sew.  Granted these quilts of mine are almost always donated to a local charity, but it has always been a relaxing time for me.

I need to figure out a way to work that time back into my schedule because I really miss it. 

Still Alive

Yes I am still alive, but very busy these days, and not much in the way of pictures to share.  We are warming up here in the South and except for a few colder days forcasted I think we are out of the winter and into spring.  Gotta love it.

Green Bay Packers

I am a huge Green Bay Packer fan being from Wisconsin.  Yesterday's Super Bowl win was just the best!  I'm so happy for them and what they've accomplished this year.  GO PACK!!!

Thursday, a catch-up day

As most of the midwest and east is shovelling snow, we are just cold and rainy.  I remember those blizzards quite well, and though I miss snow, I don't miss those blizzards and treacherous roads.  I remember watching the weather reports of threatening winter storms.  I remember the trips to the grocery store to stock up on essentials, knowing that we'd be hunkered down for days. 

Here in the South, we do the same for Hurricane season.  Stock up, be prepared.  Watch and wait, and hope for the best. 

Today is a catch-up day for me.  It's been an incredibly hectic week and I just want to take the day to regroup, but that won't happen.  Too many chores, and errands to run, but I hope to save some time today for a moment to sip a nice cup of hot cocoa and remember all the snowy days of years' past that we endured.

Today, a day to regroup

Life can get hectic that's for sure.  I've been busy working on customer quilts, and this is a peek of the latest I've done.

A couple of weeks ago I decided to try something I'd seen on my Gammill Group on Yahoo, it's just two pieces of fleece, and I did wonky feathers by Pajama Quilter Dawn Ramirez

Today I have to get started on another quilt for a customer but I hope to have time to start on a rail fence quilt that I've been wanting to get to just for me.  If I can just get the fabric ironed I'll be a happy camper.

Too many errands, too many tasks, not enough time in the day?

It sure seems that way lately.  I'm debating whether to go to water aerobics this morning.  Of course I know I need to go, I know it would do me good, but I'm so tired I'd really like to just crawl back into bed.  Today is already going to be busy enough, and tomorrow will start out that way as well.   ugh!  but you know once I'm in the water I'm always thankful that I made the effort...okay, all right, I'd better get ready...a quick banana and I'll be on my way to the Y.

I need to plan some "me" time this weekend.  What do you like to do for "me" time?

Time to Post

I have been extremly busy lately, and I find myself writing less and less on my blog.  I have to make a better effort to do that with interesting stuff and more pictures.  I have the next couple of days off from work, so I hope to catch up on all that is going by the wayside.

On another note, my team the Green Bay Packers, are going to the super bowl!!!   Yeah!
