Going crazy!

Well, I still haven't sat down at my sewing machine yet, and it's been over a week since my last post. Arggghhhh! I took the day off on Tuesday with every intention of getting some sewing done, but it was just not happening. I had to get some cleaning done while no one else was at home. I also needed to get some shopping done. Then I needed to finish some repair work I was doing on a friend's quilted and stuffed Santa. I really should have taken a picture of it because it is so cute. This Santa was made in 30's reds and greens (I think it was actually made in the 30's). Anyway, my friend had stored it in a brown paper bag which got wet and then stained the fabric. So, she thought she would put it through the washing machine on "delicate." I know. I just cringe when I think about it! So when she took it out of the machine, not only was it stained, but it was also ripped in several places. I said I would try to repair it for her and it was certainly a challenge, but I managed to applique some comparable pieces of fabric over the ripped parts and it really looks nice now. So I ended up spending quite a bit of time on my day off working on that, because I wanted her to have it back before Christmas.

So another week has passed with no work done on my stash quilts. I should have the chance to do something this weekend. But if I don't, I'll be off for 11 days starting Dec. 23, so surely I'll have a little bit of time then. One can only hope!
