Once again, I'm part way through a weekend, and not nearly where I ought to be. I need to take another look at my scheduling, and possibly re-evaluate what I think I can get done. Well, I also need to start getting better about doing things in the evening after work! At the very least I should be working on my sewing projects. I've pinned together a few things, but I think I'm going to have to do better than that. For one thing, I have fabric and "stuff" all over the dining room table. I need to concentrate on all the projects that need to be cut out so I can (1) clear off the table, and (2) be able to sit and sew in the evenings.
Since I flipped my original schedule a bit, this weekend was "my" room. I still haven't finished last weekend's work; but all I really need to do at this point is hang a few more pictures. That will probably happen today. The guest room will have to be straightened again since it was used this weekend, but that won't take long. This room still needs a bit of work. All the pictures are done. There's a tiny pile of stuff to figure out where it lives. And, I still have to dust the ceiling fan and vacuum.
What worries me most is that I am farther behind on sewing projects than I wanted to be. Also, I had planned to do a little printing each weekend so that some projects would be done on time. Unfortunately, I forgot to count on having enough ink. So, the printing will wait until next month. Still, that is also an evening job that I can get done easily. The point is to actually do it and not wait until the last minute!
I do need to rethink gifts. There is no way I'm going to get something (quilting) done for everyone. Besides the time factor, the budget doesn't allow for buying much fabric. I have tons of fabric; but it's mostly small pieces. And while most of it is things I love, that doesn't mean it will translate into something to give someone that they will love!
Next weekend, as far as I know right now, I have no "special" plans. Things tend to come up at the last minute, but I'll deal with that if I have to. The next project up is the living room. Right now, the only thing that room needs is a good cleaning - dust all the pictures and knic-knacs and fan, and vacuum. So I should be able to get that done as well as the "usual" first of the month shopping and such. Any day I have to run errands means it's going to be hard to get cleaning chores done.
Later today I will take a few pictures to post. I like the idea of "vignettes" ... little areas that look great, without seeing the "whole room"! LOL!!
I'm wondering, too, if I'm writing all this out to keep a record for myself ... or if there's anyone who actually reads it. I don't exactly "advertise"; but the link is in my signature on all my emails. I'm just curious ... so if anyone does read this, I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd leave me a comment! Thanks! :)
