WELL..... Best laid plans for making a gift in 2 nights did not come to fruition. Imagine that. I am still knitting the wrap, but I found that it was much less stressful to purchase a nice journal as a gift instead of stressing over trying to knit like a mad woman! Now, if I would only create things in advance that I could just grab and give when needed... that's a novel idea!
Goal for the week -- put quilt together by the weekend so that I can start tieng it next week. I might even be able to get the kids involved in the tieing. They can learn to tie and I can get the quilt done faster -- yippee!
I WILL NOT PROCRASTINATE, I WILL NOT PROCRASTINATE..... where have I heard that before?

Time...
Why is it, that when I have things I really want to do, there isn't any time during the day to do them. But, when it is something that I really don't want to do -- like cleaning -- time almost seems to stand still so that there is plenty of time to get those types of chores done? Ugh. Stupid clock.
Well, I haven't had time to sew lately, though I did cut out my first quilt. I use the term quilt loosely as it will be scraps of fabric sewn together with padding and a nice fabric backing, but by no means is it any type of intricate design that comes to mind when someone says "quilt." I like to think I am channeling my late grandmother (whom Emily is named after) with my quilt as it is like the ones that she used to make and I still love. I am hoping to finish the quilt this weekend so that I can post pictures next week!
The weather is starting to break in Pittsburgh, well at least for today it is. It could be snowing again next week, but we shall enjoy the sun while it is here. I was able to cast on a new shawl pattern as well. As per usual, I decide to make something on Wednesday that is needed for Saturday. I am thinking I will be up late tonight and tomorrow night getting it finished. Yippee!!!
