Okay, so now what?

I'm feeling a little better, thanks, but have a suspicion this is one of those cruds that lingers on the periphery for weeks. Yahoo.

I finished the "Done By Christmas" (ha!) Children's Literature Nesting Robin. No picture; it's dancing around in the dryer right now. The crayola marker all came out (whew) and the quilting doesn't look half bad. I now have to clean up the mudroom... er, foyer so I can get this baby hung up before Easter.

So, with the final stitch in that, Saraswati at the quilter's, and Sea of China boxed and waiting for a trip to the post office, I guess it's time to figure out the next Next Four. I really have no idea. I can make Tori's charcoal and cherry sweater #1. I pulled some blue background fabric to make a little airplane baby quilt (like <- that one but smaller and less prissy) for the new son (Jack) of my husband's friend Todd, so that can be #2 but maybe done first since a) it's little, b) it's easy, and c) I'm committed to sewing for at least 10 minutes every single day in March. But that's only 2. What else...? Aprons, for Christmas gifts? I need (...fingers, toes...) 9 of them in sizes from preschooler to teenager. Yeah, that can be #3. And #4, postcards. My friend Lisa who organizes the craft fair at the elementary school has asked me to take a table this year. It's always a fun social event, even if I don't make much money. So there. That's four. I 'll have to do the bindings on those two big quilts when they come back, but I like binding, so no problem there. I'm going to leave the DONE list up for a little while, maybe until my Weekend Update.

Tomorrow, Saturday chores because Saturday we're having a Girl Scout Cookie Store! In the rain!! Yeah!!! (oh wait, I'm sick? I really shouldn't be out in the weather...)

Do you ever take a break? Just reading your list was as good as a full workout at the gym!

ohhh I am sooooooo sorry to hear that you are creeping with crud!!

I am soooooo glad the crayola came out, since I was the first [?] to spout the greatness of them. I would feel bad if it didn't, like on one of my quilts.

I was working on my Childrens Book Nest last night too, but I am still in the applique stage. [I took time out to finish Pine Lake] I have been doing very well with this 10 min. a day.
