Wow I'm a Slacker

I have a friend. She had a grandchild. He was born before my grandson. I made her grandson a gift. I never sent the gift. I am a bad friend.

I figure if I admit this and post it, I will be so ashamed that I will finally get to the post office and send it. There is no excuse for not getting it sent, other than I am being forgetful lately.  I think I need people, or at least an assistant. If this does not arrive on your doorstep by the end of the week please call and yell at me.

Oh and Joan, when you get it, you can see how far from perfect my sewing is! This blanket is wonky, but since it's meant to be drug around and loved I hope that won't matter! P.S. I'll put something in the box for you too!

One of those days.....

Yesterday was a day that I felt every one of my almost 50 years old. I work with the most clever, creative, smart and above all nice people I could ever hope to work with. Not a single one of them make me anything but happy. I was just so frustrated with myself. I even threw a silent temper tantrum for my idiocy. My mind just doesn't do some of the things I want it to. Most days I'm trainable but yesterday....... Then, it took me 40 minutes to get home (this is normally a no more than 15 minute drive), you know who was in class and the animals were just not interested. I just felt awful.

Sew anyway, and that's what I did.

I will never make another. Minky stretches. A lot. I mean it. K, well, maybe I would make another. Not sure. Maybe, if I have another bad day and it takes me a long time to get home and you know who is in school and the dog, cat and chinchilla are not enough..... maybe, because I am good at this and it makes me happy.

Mushrooms on my mind

This is just crazy. I don't even have a great affinity for mushrooms. Well, I like to eat them and I have taken photos of them. Maybe I do love mushrooms cause now that I have started, I can't stop making them. The first one is so sad compared to these. (You can trade it in Jennifer.) As you can see I have even made a pointy one, kinda reminds me of a certain hat..... They are actually keeping me sane because the Cathedral Garden quilt is driving me mad! I cannot even tell you how many hours I have spent trying to finish the green section.

I also made a blanket out of our new minky! I love it but I am afraid I won't be able to keep it. Black fabric and Miss Evie just don't mix. For a moment I thought about giving her away instead but that seems so drastic.
For now it will be on display in the shop. That's all for this weekend!
