Okay, so I'm a procrastinator...

First, to my brother: Yes, procrastinator is spelled right! (That's an inside joke and I'm only gently hinting that he can't spell). That's okay though. He is a thoughtful, prolific blogger (AmeriDan in my blog list). I guess I have to poke fun at him for spelling, because he pokes fun at me for forgetting to actually blog on my blog.

Hmmm... what to update first? Sewing room? It was beautiful while it lasted. And it is much easier to clean now, than before. However, at the moment, it's in the "yes, I'm working on four projects at the same time" mode. So, it ain't what you'd call "tidy." However -- it is still functional and I can work on four projects at the same time!

I'm working on my Dear Hannah quilt again. I hate when I'm distracted from that because once you drift away from anything, it's hard to drift back. But! I'm also working on a Round Robin we did on the Dear Jane website, a queen-sized Harvest Home quilt block of the month at my quilt guild (Piecemakers in Oxford, MS) My friend at work Beth and I are working on a graduation quilt for one of our best friend/co-workers' daughter, who, although we never gave her permission to get past 7-years-old, has managed in the past few years to grow into a wonderful, talented, sweet and level-headed high school senior. Jessica should still be holding my hand when we walk to the Post Office, but since she has her own new car this year would probably laugh at me for 1. trying to hold her hand, 2. walking anwhere. When it's finished, hopefully, I'll post a photo. It's going to be gorgeous! And extra-long since our drop-dead gorgeous Jess is 6 ft. tall.

I'm also working on another quilt, but I can't talk it about. It's a secret for a friend and I can't even say which friend... :)

I also made a Levi quilt! A dear friend's daughter had a baby, named him Levi. So, Levi had to have a Levi quilt. I'm going to attempt to post a photo.

Meanwhile, like all the rest of us in the world -- I work (to make money to quilt). I come home, do the dinner bit and try to sew the rest of the night unless life interrupts me. But all is well. Paducah is coming! My boon traveling companion and the other half of my brain Jane and I are leaving Wed., April 23 for the mecca of quilting -- Paducah, Kentucky! I wish I had time to rest up for the trip. Unfortunately, the real world keeps sticking it's head into my life. Oh well.

I have a "thought" printed out on my computer desk -- "All these days passing, I didn't know they were life itself." Fortunately for me, I love my life...

I also read a great tagline a few minutes on a blog advertisement -- Great minds like a think! I love that! It's so me! :)
