You guys thought I was just joking about haunting y'all today, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight? Nope! I'm here! And I've already been doing some sewing stuff! I finished getting my package ready for the 10.5" batik square swap (yes, I'm running late on that). Then I got my hand sewing ready to go. I planned to sew binding on (the first change from making my DH's Jelly Roll Race quilt... later for that, I guess). I had some little (8" maybe) scrappy Dresden Plates (the very last thing my Mother & I worked on so I've "been saving them") that I'm appliquing to some funky background fabric (that will either be good or just straight up weird -- I'm not sure why I didn't just sew them to muslin like I usually do). Then after I got my sewing all lined up (I have to have my special thread catcher cup, my special frog pin cushion, my nippers, my can of Dr. Pepper... I'm super anal about my hand sewing), I scurried in to watch the puck drop on my hockey game & wouldn't you know it?!? We're bracing for bad weather up here & the channel is off. And on. And off. Thank you, Direct TV! No, I think the actual station is having trouble. So anyhoo... pretty soon I'm going to have my DH go get my yummy Chinese meal (spring rolls? Fried rice? Egg Foo Yung? All of the above?). THIS IS FUN! Now just to steer clear of the tornadoes (I'm originaly from KS & have nearly met my maker via tornadoes a couple of times so when they say run, I high tail it for the basement!!!). Is everybody else having fun, fun, fun?
