Really there's no wreckage except the clutter in my brain. I've been ultra-disorganized lately, unable to get anything together; I can't even remember to get batteries for the camera so I can take pictures of any small progress I've made on anything. What the heck is going on? Here's how utterly scatterbrained I am. I haul all this material downstairs to cut out a skirt or two and realize the fabric needs to be pressed. Then I can't find the pattern I want to use. I take it back up stairs to press it, and find the pattern; put it down and remember oh yeah, I don't have any black thread for the serger, I should run and get some but the local Wal Mart doesn't carry that anymore and hobby lobby is closed on Sunday (besides they don't have much of a selection) so it would mean driving all the way to Kennesaw to Joann's which I don't want to do today; maybe there's something else i can work on, let's see, how about that gray moleskin. Okay but what pattern? And two days later, remember the skirts I wanted to cut out but what pattern was i going to use and still dont' have the black thread; and now, where are my scissors? No kidding. The fabric is still on the sewing room floor waitingto be pressed. What do you want to bet that the next time I think about it, I haul it downstairs and start into it an realize it needs to be pressed, so I take it back upstairs.....
I'm busy at work, it's true; I come home and before i can turn around twice I'm unconcious on the sofa.
I signed up for the
Quilting Gallery's Fall Inspired Mini Quilt Swap. I'm making excellent progress and as soon as I get those batteries, I will post a picture.
Maybe this weekend (well, the remain 12 hours or so of it) I will get the skirts cut out. I did remember to get black thread yesterday.
Maybe this will help. I joined a health club yesterday. My employer gets us an excellent deal with Health Place, which is connected to Kennestone Hospital/Wellstar. A co-worker goes there and loves it. They offer a number of classes in yoga, strength training, stretching, cardio, etc. It's extremely clean and from what I'm told, never terribly crowded. Lots of "seniors" - i.e., people my age. This afternoon I'm going to a water aerobics class. Maybe excercise will clear my poor befuddled brain.
Before I forget,
here is a beautiful quilt - what a wonderful memory quilt it would make. Scroll down to the bottom of the post.
This is what's left of an enormous tree that fell. The bottom part of the trunk is what's left. The picture gives you no point of reference so it's impossible to appreciate how big this thing is.
