My life in a nutshell? Crazy! Working on several projects at the same time can cause mental overload... something I'm quite familiar with - unfortunately! A good sense of humour is a great help. Taking a break to write here definitely helps clear the cobwebs and bring back some semblance of order to the thought process.

My "to do" list for this year of 2009 will be accomplished one step at a time - a few items are:
1. Finish the queen size quilt top that's been waiting patiently for over a year now and put together the blocks for another top which has been waiting almost as long...
2. Make as many baby blankets/quilts and little outfits as I can before year end - these are going to be included in 'going home' packages for new mothers in Belarus, Russia. The area is extremely poor and lacking in many amenities we take for granted. For more info, visit: www.canadianaidforchernobyl.com
3. Do some entries now for our local Fair, held July 24-26/09. No more procrastinating!
4. Organize my sewing room - that should be interesting!
5. Clean out the basement - think I need a life line to start that one!
6. Sort 45+ years worth of photos and scrapbook the best of the family and vacation ones. There will likely be a few good laughs...
7. Keep in closer touch with family and friends - time passes much too quickly.
This is my top priority - none of us are getting any younger - I don't want to say "Gee, wish I'd called her/him."
8. Finish the last 4 lessons to complete my grade 12 graduation diploma - better late than never. I'm doing it for myself and for my Mom and Dad, both deceased. Health issues got in the way a few years ago, but seem to be be fairly much under control now - so back to the books!
Guess this list will keep me going for the year and quite possibly longer. I can't say I have nothing to do!
Until next time - "Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."

Trying something new!

Never thought I'd have a blog! So here goes... It's snowing, cold & windy here - even the cats won't go out! Talk about cabin fever!
Finally finished a quilted table runner and wallhanging that have been WIP's (Works In Progress) for awhile. Now to get the queen size quilt done... as well as all the other sewing etc. hanging out in my sewing room.
The fur babies love that room. Lots of soft stuff to catch a proverbial cat nap on or in. Hubby and I are 'owned' by Jenny-Any-Dots (a lovely calico, with typical calico attitude) and Tygger (a very talkative up-close-and-personal marmalade tiger), both about 8-9 years old. And there's a little stray I've been feeding - think she was dumped off and found us. I've been calling her 'Baby' as she looks to be only about 6-8 months old.
Enough for now - time to think about something for supper. Hate to think of how many meals I've prepared over our 45+ years of marriage... mind boggling!
Have a good evening!
