Oh my, you took a page out of my life. For christmas, I asked for a white board and fine point erasable markers. I put information up there like, need 50 blocks/batik/35 done.,
"jeweled quilt cut strips 3 1/2".
This one is in caps in red. I have cut alot of 2 1/2" strips when my mind wanders.
I have duplicate quilt books purchased, duplicate quilter's cut templates in the same size, found my flower pin box when moving my sewing room, now have 4 boxes of flower pins, this is part of my life. 3 bottles of ketchup in the cupboard, but we are out of mayo.

Sat down to sew and said "I remember the row starts with black then yellow" and proceeded to sew black, yellow, salmon and magenta before I realized that yes ... they were in the right order ... for the LAST row, not this row. rip rip rip
I took a short break when husband arrived home, to clear my head, then went back into the sewing room and said "I remember where I left off" and began to sew the same colors in the wrong order AGAIN!!
Another time I was making a fracture (this happened TWICE actually - two different projects at two different times) and I said "I remember the next step" and proceeded to cut ... and of course I was wrong and cut the WHOLE PANEL in the wrong direction. I just won the opportunity to buy another panel!!
I need to put a giant sign in my sewing room that says "You DON'T remember!!!"
I'm staying out of the sewing room the rest of the evening. It's just not going to work tonight.
