WAAAAAAH!

Still no luck getting time to quilt! My room is still messy but slowly coming together. Instead, I've gone back to knitting as it's very portable and easy to take around with me any where. I did get my invitation to the Walcamp quilting retreat! I'm sooooooooooo looking forward to the retreat!

Still on standby...

Yup, my house is a disaster and my quilting supplies are under a pile of "stuff. " Every evening I have taken on the task to make a dent into my pile and slowly dig out my quilting space. I got a new bed, so that created another new pile of stuff. What's great is now I have more room to work with! I will have to re-arrange my room like a studio apartment. My office, my arts/sewing studio and mini livingroom. If you are great at space allocation, please let me know. Would love some help in trying to figure out how to rearrange my bedroom.

Til next time...quilt on my friends!

Quilting still on standby...

So I just ran my first half marathon and going to do another one...I have no clue why I am doing this to myself again. Anyways, between my sister moving in, trying to see clients, getting ready for a presentation and trying to gather all the stuff I want to sell at the sub-division sidewalk sale...I haven't been able to do any quilting! Sigh.

Hopefully after the sidewalk sale, I'll get some quilting time in

Good and bad...

Boy oh boy! I've been busy with my business ( I help people/families with financial counseling, education and retirement savings). Things have picked up quite a bit! It's great my business is doing so well, but then comes the sacrifices. My knitting and quilting has gone on hiatus for a while. I have one quilt that is ready to be quilted...it's a baby quilt for a friend who just had her first baby. I was hoping to get that done before the baby came, but the way my schedule has been, I'm going to be giving it to her a little late. Congrats to Katie and Marc!

On top of all that, my sister has moved in with her two dogs. Let's say if I knew how to spin fibers, I'd have enough dog hair to spin a lot of skeins of yarn.

I also purchased this handy-dandy binder foot for quilts, but I have yet to try it out. I did however catalog my knitting needles on Ravelry.com. Very cool tools for all you knitters out there.

Well, until I can get some time to blog and share my projects, have fun all you creative people!

I miss you!

Life can get so busy. You forget what it means to relax sometimes. Then you realize that you haven't quilted or knitted a thing for more than a month! You look around and you see cluttered messes all over your sewing area. A sweater thrown there. Pants over your chair. Unfinished quilts piled on top of your sewing machine.

What happened? Sigh. Unfortunately that's life for you. Things happen all of a sudden and take you away on different paths. You decide to run marathons. Your business picks up. You pass out from businessness at the end of the day. You crawl-drag-kick yourself out of bed in the wee hours of the morning.

As soon as it can happen, this chick needs to get some rest.

Spent money again!

Went to the International Quilting Convention at Rosemont and bought some new purse/bag patterns, a kit for a table runner, new rubbing plates, teflon sheet, and got ideas for new quilts! I can't wait until I can set some time to tackle these projects!

No quilting leads to stressed out gal

So I'm taking my state securites license exam and it's taking me away from quilting. GRR! I need some time to blow off some steam with a little quilting but I gotta study to pass this thing. God knows that I need every moment to study but I miss quilting! *Sniff-sniff*
