Short week

This week I will sew.
Already today I've finished piecing Hannah's shaggy and all that's left is to snip te seams. A big task in its own right! Maybe I will take it with me in the car Thursday since we have a 2+hr drive to Tony's Dad's. I should be able to get it all snipped during the trip then, it's only 40"x45". I might take along this hat I'm knitting for my niece if I haven't finished it by then.

I have the Ugly Quilt ready to pin and quilt. I was planning on pinning it while the kids nap this afternoon but it is such a cold rainy day and my kids are so warm and snuggly I think I will have to nap with them.

I want to make and list at least 3 more bags on etsy by Wed night since I've sold a couple in the last week! I figure it's a good idea since Fri kicks off the major Christmas shopping season. Although, I am almost done. I love Thanksgiving, it might be my favorite holiday, but it does kind of through a wrench in the works as it makes it a very short week! Anything I need to do this week needs to be done by Wednesday then. Bags, quilts, pack for the trip to Greeneville. Plus I need to finish putting up groceries (yes, I'm a slob), clean my kitchen, my room and put up laundry. Maybe I should forego the nap?

Tony went shopping last night. We needed baby wipes and he came home with 3 outfits for Hannah, 1 for Jeremiah, a box of chocolates for me, a spool of thread and the book Visions of Sugarplums by Janet Evanovich (for me, of course!)
That is love right there: chocolate, quilting thread, and a Stephanie Plum book!!

I guess I should get out of here and go sew some more. Maybe I can get the front and back of a bag pieced before we lie down for a nap!

  1. That sure is a great gift! I love a just because thing. Books are great. Mine would never pick one up unless he knew the exact title I wanted. Even then might be rough, he picks them up for Jakob though. I will pray you get what has to be done done--- Mekenzei is sick today so I have yet to get any sewing done. :-(

    I remember 3 AM feedings and little ones....I couldn't do anything with little ones, but take care of little ones. I bow in your general direction.

  4. I hope your week flows smoothly amid the nursing and blocks and yarns, etc. You're doing things that so many moms would be totally jealous of. You're a lucky gal! Stay healthy and enjoy a blessed holiday with the family!!
