Slow going...

It's been hard to get myself motivated lately...Monday was tough for everyone of course, and it's been tricky getting into the swing of things this week.

To clarify...there's been a lot on the "Must Do Right Now!" list lately and I'm getting worn out with it... and on sewing the have to things I don't necessarily want to ... I've just had no will to do it...

So here's my new system.  I get something done that I have to do (like the ginormous pile of files I organized on Monday) and then do something I want to do (like start a crochet blanket because I haven't done that in a while).

It's working out ok, but I need to pick up the pace. 

This week we have a lot to get done because next week is going to be extra busy (my mom is coming to visit!!!) and I want to get a LOT of stuff out of the way so I don't have to worry about it.

Scheduling Dr's appointments for the littles (check!), and dentist appointments, and getting the rest of the bee blocks done, finishing sleeves on dresses and tanks...that kind of stuff I want out of the way so we can play. 

I've sewn up some clothes that I just need to photograph so watch for that.  Posting the pictures are my motivation for finishing some sleeves...

I'm pretty excited about it. 

more catch up...

Today is going to be busy...so here we go.

Last night I sewed up some table runners for a church dinner tonight.  No biggie but I was hoping to spend that time catching up on other things. 

I also get to decorate a table at the dinner tonight and make sweet potato casserole.  Ben's going to be the master of babysitting/manning the nursery at church during the dinner, which is another bonus point of awesomeness for him. 

It's my big brother's birthday today so we called and sang at him.  He lives in San Jose, CA and is spending the day with my mom doing fun stuff so that's good.  I wish we got to see him more often!

OUR WASHER IS FIXED!!! and it doesn't sound like a jet engine anymore which is really awesome!  AND it means I can move my fabric and stuff back and getting things going again!  Like right after I write this actually.  I'm trying to get my butt to the post office today before we have to pick Ben up from work.

I caved on a sale of some stuff I've been oogling for a while and got this shirt and this bag.  With a 20% off code I had, it was asking for it.  I seriously cannot wait to wear this shirt around all the time.  I probably should've gotten two of them....

Maybe after I sell another quilt I'll get another one.  And then that sweater.  I really love that sweater. 

Tonight I'll be sewing some more, and maybe taking a break to watch Psych.  Do you watch that show?  It's my very favorite thing.  Ever.  I love Guster.  Anyway, watch it.  Especially if you appreciate the 80's.  Some of the craftiest and cleverest dialogue on TV these days. 

and...I still can't find that cord.....I'll go hide in my corner for being a pictureless blogger again....
