My New Mantra:


I am kinda holding my breath...
(nervous to take the plunge)

& kinda feel like I'm gonna throw up...

Before I kinda felt like a poser only making my quilt top.

So after much intense deliberation,
I decided to machine quilt my quilt tops this time.

Now I just feel scared....
& nauseous.
I practiced today on a table runner with scraps from my first quilt...top.
But you see, with my very basic not fancy machine & novice skill level...
I can only quilt stitch in a ditch...& a bunch of in between lines...
Haven't even tried binding yet.  Pray for me.

In other news:
AJ intentionally peed on our shower curtain today in. pure. defiance.
&
Abby chipped her baby tooth teething on our coffee table.

(Don't worry, I'm in full control around here.)

Yesterday I didn't really look out the back window to see AJ dancing barefoot on our glass patio table...
& I didn't have to drag him inside kicking and screaming refusing to follow directions to get off the table...
that might be a sign of a chaotic, out of control household...& that never happens around here.
: )
3 weeks off-track: Game On!

  4. I can't wait to see it - I started (and almost finished) the spastic rainbow scarf - and I am sending off my quilt today. I also got a fabulous idea for a pillow and I am trying to tell myself that I need to finish my in progress stuff before I start something new but you know me... I am crafting addicted lately! More more more! Who needs sleep???
