Friday's forecast

Today is Friday. Today I WILL sew. I cannot let this entire week pass with nothing to show.

I will go have coffee and scones with my cute boyfriend, then come home, throw in a load of laundry, vacuum and sweep, mop the bathrooms and kitchen, and then put on PBS Sprout and fire up the rotary cutter.

We'll have PB& J (him) and soup (me) for lunch. A bowl of grapes, a cut up apple and a couple of clementines and we'll be good for a couple of hours. I have a one hour meeting at 3, but nothing before that and nothing after that. One of the kids is even making dinner tonight! There is no reason I cannot get something accomplished

I will get SOMETHING done today, there will be something in fabric to show for my time today. There will, there will, there will! I promise.

Hey, and way off topic, please notice my button link to Ami Simms' Alzheimer's Art Quilt Initiative. Go look. Please. My dad died with this awful disease 4 years ago, and I have 3 brothers and a sister. The chance that one of us will go the same way scares me more than just about anything. If I can do this small thing to help raise money and awareness, and to speed up the search for a CURE, sign me up. I wouldn't wish Alzheimer's on my worst enemy. Never.

My mother and grandmother died of AD. And I of an age that I will regularly look at my thought/behavior patterns and wonder if it's starting in me.

We all go through that avoidance thing. One tip when you do get back to sewing: leave the sewing room with something simple and planned to do tomorrow. (blocks layered together and ready to sew for example).
