Now that I finished my projects and washed and wrapped, I don't know what to do with myself tonight?

It is hard to shift gears, isn't it? I have been trying to do that this week, also. We had our "big Christmas" with all the kids and grandkids last week-end, so have been trying to re-focus this week. I think I'm getting there :)
|
Come help me ??? :wink: Congrats on being done- now relax and enjoy :mrgreen:
|
Break out the wine, sit by the fire with hubby. I'm sure he has been neglected. Mine has!!!
|
kick back pour a little something pleasant to sip on and turn on a Christmas Special :)
that's what we are doing...we (hubbie and i) put together the last 9 family goodie/gift baskets after dinner...we are officially DONE! and it's not even Christmas Eve yet,...this has to be some sort of record! so, feet are up and at 8..the grinch is gonna try to steal Christmas! |
I am right there with you! I have finished 3 quilts, a pillow sham to match, and a matching dolly blanket, 4 sets of criss-cross coasters, a table runner and a 9 block cathedral window wall hanging (thanks to Eddie's tutorial on this)......Yeah...the grandkid is in the tub getting a bath and the tea water is on.
|
Pop some popcorn and watch a movie.
|
Taking the great advice here and going to pop some corn, but on snuggly jammies and a cup of chai tea! Hubby is out for the evening and me and my Tony will snuggle. Going to watch Inception with Leonardo! I think I figured it out.
|
Have some chocolate to celebrate!!! :lol: :thumbup:
|
I plan to work on my qilt that I have on the frame. I hand quilt and always have one to work on.
|
I kept some hand sewing out. Thank goodness cuz I'd be going nuts.
|
I am so envious!!! Hmmm......... watch a Christmas movie??

Have a chilled glass of wine and celebrate a "job well done"!
|
Relax!
|
i am almost finished w/ one quilt and i'm taking advantage of this time off til Jan 4 to put together the top of my next one. Hoping to minimize down time in between
|
know what you mean ...... these ladies have some good suggestions -- ' i should have read this first before i waded through all the quiltshop newsletters, reading and looking for the year end sales! i have replenished my stash and then some. and there are still good, good sales to come!
|
Chocolate, a bubble bath and a good magazine - a quilting of course.
|
I'm making cookies.
|
I tend to start something Christmassy on Christmas Eve or Day - save it for next year or give it away!

Wish you could finish the handwork on a couple of quilts for me!! I have a nerve impingement in my shoulder and can do the repetitive motion of sewing on binding for just a few minutes at a time!
Congrats on finishing your projects! Merry Christmas! |
Put your feet up. Pour yourself a cup of hot chocolate (or whatever is your favorite beverage) and just relax.
|
SO happy for you, hope you got to relax!!!!!
|
YOu can come to my house and help me catch up!

I felt like that yesterday but then remembered I hadn't bought any treats for Abby and hadn't packed the totes I decorated for my relatives -- there's always something to do -- and then there is the stuff I taking to the family get-together -- I am never ahead, always behind
|
Get out your quilting books and magazines. Look through them and plan your next project. Have it ready to go and work on it on New Year's Day. Grandma and Grandpa always said that whatever you do on NYsD sets the tone for your entire year. That's why I try to never do anything that I find unpleasant on New Year's Day.

How nice for you !! Well done ! Think I would lazy with all the quilting patterns to figure what was next. Oh forgot , have projects lined up already ! Well , a girl can dream can't she ? ! Enjoy

Isn't it a good feeling when it is all done? I am all for a cup of hot chocolate and a good movie, |
Just relax and do something just for you ( have a cup of tea or other beverage, soak in the tub, give yourself a facial, rub cream all over your body and snuggle in your PJ's). Your sewing machine and all those other projects will still be there tomorrow.
|
I know what you mean. I use the dining room for a lot of my quilting. Have my machine there as well as use the table to rotary cut. Had to put everything away!! DRAT!! But, I am spending time on the computer (mostly on this site)also looking for new free patterns.
