LOL not even thought of that yet. Have several things I want to make for grandkids but getting startd is the problem. Guess I'd best get to it before it sneaks up on me.

Now that I can sew again I've attempted to finish the ones I started back in May/June. Problem 1. I've run out of white felt. Problem 2. I've run out of 4" wadding. Problem 3. I've run out of purple and yellow ribbon. Problem 4. I can't find my heatproof wadding. So I'm back to 5 UFO's and I only got going 5 days ago. Such is life! GUess I'll need to shop.

I've been so swamped that I might be able to start thinking about Christmas in July...of next year. I usually agonize over what to do for Christmas, and then end up giving care packages and calling it merry. My crew likes that just fine, so there is probably no reason to stress over it. I do anyway.

I read a magazine article recently written by a gal who had good intentions. She finally photographed her intentions and put the pictures in a card. You know, the thought that counts. :) Getting out last years' projects are actually a good idea.

emily16838 by emily16838 05 Oct 2011

I'm great at starting something at then last minute and then having to give up because life interveins and so I just put it in the next year shelf

mad14kt by mad14kt 05 Oct 2011

@ Emily - A plan is always a good place to start and than it gets lost, off track, etc. etc. LOL. @Justonlyme - A picture is worth a thousand words but suppose they hold me to everything that's on that picture...hmmmm LOL ;D *2U

I have lots of plans and ideas...the only problem is "work is in the way." If only I could retire.

I had WAY more time to do stuff when I was working. My "swamped" schedule came BECAUSE I retired. Go figure! At least when you are working, you schedule in a little bit of "fun". Everyone figures that you have nothing to do when you retire and then it starts hitting the fan. Good luck. :)

mad14kt by mad14kt 05 Oct 2011

Retirement sure sounds good!!! LOL ;D *2U @Justonlyme more time when you were working...(hmmmm scratching my head), I still have less time, LOL ;D

I am doing the easy stuff. The fsl. As long as I hear my machine... I'm OK. I have sooo much sewing to do. I keep saying -tomorrow- when I have slept better... but then I don't sleep better. I was just telling H that there is snow in Minnesota. I guess I was wrong! christine Live Lauhg Download Stitch!

I love FSL - I can hear the machine and play on the computer at the same time! Today is praying hands, not sure where I got them - they are really nice!

Send some of that nice warm to the west coast. We had a dud of a summer. Maybe three weeks above 70 if we use our imagination a little bit and turned on the heat a tad.

mad14kt by mad14kt 05 Oct 2011

@ Lily WOW 80's in Minnesota ;D *2U

I work on my Christmas projects all year long - but there are some - that I never get to until the very last week - as usual. Good luck!

Shirlene it seems like you are on track, working all year long is not a bad idea... However; if I do as much as I think/plan, I would be an assembly line with mass productions...FIESTA ;D *2U
