Any night owls sewing tonight?
#11
Night is always a good time for me. I got home from Bible study around 8:30, checked my emails and watched the X Factor with the hubs. Had a little snack and now I'm cutting 5" squares and 3" squares out of all my green fabric. The 5" blocks are for a Christmas tree wallhanging. The 3" squares are for yoyos. I have been covering cone shaped styrofoam with yoyos. I made one scrappy and one in white, beige and cream. The second one I have added buttons, flowers and ribbon for a real shabby chic look.

Well, I was back at it by 9 this morning. Got a rag quilt done, and worked on some binding on table runners I have sitting around when I needed a change of pace. Just got my daughter off the bus and am waiting for DH to come home to take over with her so I can get back in front of my machine. Another late night tonight, but I do find I make more progress that way - the kids are all asleep and not asking a million questions about what I'm doing! I do find that once I'm tired, I'm DONE. Couldn't keep my eyes open anymore last night! I'm not sure I'm cut out for the craft fair route - I may just be too much of a procrastinator!

So sorry you are in the hospital,,I know how that feels. In the last year I was in the hospital 5 times for resp-iratory failure. I now always have some hand work for sitting in doctors offices, and if I am admitted...One time they kept me for a month..almost had my kids bring my sewing machine in!!

I couldn't sleep so finally got up at 3 a.m. I'm machine appliqueing shapes I cut out of little Hard Rock Cafe t-shirts onto hot pink and black animal print knit fabric. They were too small to make a regular t-shirt quilt. It's for an 8 year old girl who loves all things bright. I would rather be sleeping, but I seem to get a lot of insomnia sewing time! (You can see the next project in the picture...ugly wrestling t-shirts to be made into a quilt.)

Krsy, I wish you well and a quick recovery. In the meantime, relax and focus on healing. Everything else will take care of itself. Merry Christmas.

I wish I could sew at night on the week-end. I can be a night owl and thinl I would get a lot done but my machine is in the front of the house and my machine faces the road and I[m pretty much a chicken to be up there late at night. I know I could get a lot done, I just need to get over the fear factor.
