I didn't really get a whole lot accomplished this weekend. Just managed to finish a piece of embroidery.
So, this week I get to play catch-up!
Have three small quilts to quilt and bind, one to bind, a doll blanket to baste, back and bind and a twin-size quilt to quilt and bind. I should get all of the quilting done on the small things tomorrow.
I should...
But, here's the kicker... I really need to clean my house and do my laundry. Maybe if I can get all my cleaning done before noon I can get to the sewing... or maybe I should just wait to clean until the kids get home. I'm not sure... I guess I will see how I feel in the morning.
Had a tennis match today and won it with my bestie, Angie. A couple of years ago we had a saying, "I don't play tennis, I erode the human soul." That's what we did today. We today kicked butt and had fun doing it.
Well, I am heading to the shower and then off to bed... until next time (hopefully posting pics of completed quilts)...

Missing In Action
Sorry, I have been MIA the last two weeks.
In my last post I was definitely PMS'ing and besides the "normal" things that go along with it, the muscles in my calves cramped like there was no tomorrow. So, for the first part of the week I was out of commission and got absolutely nothing accomplished. The second half I ended up with a urinary tract infection which was just painful. I think I ended up drinking my weight in Cranberry juice and it eventually took care of the problem.
All of that led in to the weekend in which my Mother-in-law wanted to take the kids for the weekend allowing my husband and I to celebrate our 14-year wedding anniversary kid-free. Yippee! We ended up having a very nice weekend eating out at several of our favorite restaurants.
Sunday, we were brought back to reality and had to pick up our kids. We spend that evening with my Mother-in-law getting home in time to get the kids in bed by their normal bed times.
That puts us into this week and, for most of the week, we have had really gray weather. It rained Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday it was sunny, but Thursday and Friday have been mostly cloudy with the sun peeking out here and there. I know I shouldn't blame it on the weather, but this week has been a struggle to find any motivation. I have managed to get the small/doll quilt embroidered but that's about it.
I don't have tennis tomorrow and would really like to get some of my smaller quilts quilted. I am not sure about the twin-sized quilt and trying to push in through the sewing machine I have been using. It might work better if I had the right kind of sewing table as well. I guess it's time to do some research and see if there is anything out there that fits the description of what I need or want.
Next week will be better and I hope to be posting some pics of completed quilts!
Until next time
