Totally Tuesday

So, yesterday was the Mondayist Monday ever. Seriously, it was just a comedy of crazy around here. I was supposed to meet a friend for breakfast but she got tied up, so my breakfast of champions was delayed. My 11am appointment showed up at 10am, and I was not even remotely ready. I forgot to switch over a load of laundry before going out for the rest of the day and came home to smelly gross towels that required rewashing. But, on the other hand, we were all showered and fed, and the essentials got done, so it wasn't a horrible day, just a strange one.

I had planned on doing a Motivation Monday post from 10-11 am, in my slot of computer time, but it just wasn't meant to be apparently, so we'll have to do it today instead.

SO, I have some pretty big projects on the go this week.....

1. I need to get back to this.....I am 10 days delinquent tomorrow due to a packing snafu!!! I taught at Cotton and Chocolate a week ago on Saturday and Sunday, and took my book with me with the intention of cutting out a few blocks if I got a minute (or 5) on Saturday night. The minutes didn't happen, but when I returned home I couldn't find my book anywhere. And those of you that know me know that I keep the finished blocks in the book paper clipped to the appropriate day!!! SO, I had no book with which to make blocks/cut fabrics, etc, and no completed blocks to post!!!! Well, I managed to find my book on Thursday night late when I unload (in order to reload) my toiletries bag. Yes, I had put the book in my toiletries bag at some point on Saturday Night or Sunday morning...because that is a normal place that everyone puts a book!!!! SO, I need to catch up post several blocks, and then get back on the daily bandwagon.

2. Sunflower Wallhanging - I got the binding on this one, along with a hanging sleeve, so it is ready for hanging.

3. Piecing on the new TOM - I didn't even get this one out of the box this week, as I got a little distracted working on other things....

4. Harboured Lighthouse - I haven't worked on this one in a couple of weeks, though I really want to get back to it so that I can finish it up. It's just missing one unit and then I can lay it out on the floor for a little pre-assembly photo shoot.

5. The Sale is complete, at least round 1, and all of the boxes have been mailed with the exception of those that I am hand delivering at Cozy on the 24th. There remains a few items to get rid of but not nearly as many as I feared. So that is doing quite well. I am sure I will do a round 2, right after I am fully rested from round 1.

6. Leader and Ender 2018-2019 - Jewel Box Stars -- I'm still on track to complete this one by next Memorial Day -- but having not worked on it for a couple of weeks, it is in need of a little TLC to keep it on track.

The week appears to be a pretty full one -- with lots of meetings and appointments during the week, as well as some night time gym commitments, so hopefully I can squeeze in a couple of hours of cheeky sewing while the world spins.

Also, don't forget that Janet Spinks's (Canadian Certified Instructor for Judy Niemeyer) is hosting a She Shed Shenanigans Stash Challenge, which goes until mid December. Make sure you join her group on Facebook to participate for prizes (I even sent her a few special ones). And I made a project for it!!! So join us for some fun and a little quilty competition.

Until Next Time!
Happy Sewing!
