Um....I'm working on the home stretch of 4 Halloween costumes, needed
for a party on Friday. The last one has just been partially cut out,
and the remaining fabric bought today...argh. Alice in
Wonderland....done: Alice, Mad Hatter, White Rabbit....Queen of Hearts
still to do....next time I had better have more warning as to what is
needed (this is for my family and hubby made the decision at the end
of September...oh, and these will also be for the annual family
picture...lol).

Plans for quilts are on hold until the middle of November because I
have to finish up several things for the craft fair that I will be
working...but plans...oh how I have plans!!

well, it's been quiet here also. i've been cleaning up the house and
re-arranging furniture.
i dislike open houses. it's so judgemental.
anyway...i did sit and design a new quilt top on EQ today. it took 7
tries and color placements to
get to the end result. and even that probably won't be the way it
looks in real fabric.
then i baked a fresh apple pie...came out fabulous! mmm. had a piece
for supper. and some cheese.
tomorrow i have to clean out gutters if the sun ever comes out....ugh.

next?

I'm busy as a little bee, stitching and sewing and generally having a
grand time. My DH is off work all next week, and I will spend a good
bit of time just hanging around and being goofy with him. But I have
several work days scheduled with a good quilting friend who is going
to help me finish a project. It's coming together beautifully and I'm
really excited. On the horizon -- finishing a quilt I put aside some
time ago and now think I have the fortitude to fix, and then... well
who knows? I have two tops that are begging to be sandwiched up and
quilted and I have three stacks of fabric begging to be cut and
stitched. I'm sooooooo popular, they all want my attention. ;)

Is it just my imagination, or have things been quiet here the last few days?

School, school and more school, parent/teacher conferences, Yearbook
deadline of 56 pages, and the class from you-know-where that I am taking
that is more work than I have ever, ever, ever had in a class, nothing like
the course description, lots of work that is not graded but required to pass
the class, more than 1000 pages of reading (no exaggeration), and on top of
the six page lesson plan that we are having to develop (not mentioned in the
course description which is about integrating technology into the
curriculum), I have to actually create a full example of the web site that
the lesson plan is about to post to our class web site as an example that I
will be showing my students. As if I had time. Only three more lessons
though and I am madly trying to work ahead.

Just a little overwhelmed and a bit stressed and I haven't touched a needle
and thread in probably four weeks and I am having withdrawal from not
sewing. Deep breaths.
