Too much to do, not enough energy

Today is finally a quieter day -- as a result, I should be doing something productive, and the list is long, but I find myself starting by forcing myself to update this blog on the off-chance someone is still reading. If you are reading, feel free to post a comment, I'd love to know you are here.

I've been working on a quilt for S1's teacher. After we moved here, I joined a quilting ministry. I love this group of women. They are so warm and giving, I look forward to each Tuesday morning. S1s teacher is Mrs. W. Mrs. Ws husband is sick and is going back for surgery right after Christmas. So, S1s class is giving her a quilt. Each of the kids drew a picture or wrote a message on a square of fabric and I'm sewing them together. I need to have the quilt finished for tomorrow. It's almost done, but I have to do some measuring and calculations. I'll go work on that soon.

I also need to finish sewing the backing for S1s quilt. I started her a quilt almost two years ago. Wednesday, I have time reserved on a big machine to quilt it. So, the backing needs to be sewn and ready. I can't wait to see this quilt finished.....

I have about 2 hours before I have to be someplace. That should give me enough time to inventory my presents purchased so far, package up some things for the post office, and maybe finish some dishes, and I WILL do 10 minutes on the treadmill.

I'm here. :). I don't check my google reader as often as I could, but I do check!

Nice to hear about the quilting. I made a sweatshirt quilt a few years ago, and am currently saving old tshirts for another one. Makes me wish I hadn't given way so many of my college shirts!
