Ask me how I know....

1.  Nothing horrific is going to happen if you take a blog-cation!  

I haven't blogged here or here for a week or so..

I just needed a break to get some stuff done!

And hell did not freeze over!

 

2.  Life is short. Live it to the fullest! 

My uncle who passed away at the (young) age of 73 left behind some words, 

among them..."I am a lucky man!"

I want to be just like him. 

 

3.  Life is short. Don't stay angry.  :-)

4.  Tshirt quilts are really not my thing. 

I was commissioned by a neighbor to make a tshirt quilt 

with the tshirts she had collected from her years on the high school swim team. 

Yawwwwn.

 

 

5.  Never let your customer pre-cut her tshirts. OY.

6. Air cooling systems in cars are easier to understand than liquid cooling systems.

7. Even when you are strapped for time,
you can always find a few minutes to make one more thing!

(next weekend is Sugarbaby's dance studio's spring performance and I volunteered to 

make a wall hanging for their silent auction).

8.  Take time to appreciate your surroundings.

Even if that means stopping a run early.

9.  Don't stay in bed when you have insomnia. You can get a lot done!

By 4 AM yesterday, I had mixed up a batch of electric blue and lemon yellow
and did some dyeing....

row 1: low water immersion fat quarters

row 2: dyeing in a tray

row 3: my attempt at shibori

10.  I still love green!

(this was a piece of fabric that I folded into triangles and then immersed it in dye)

11. Not all ideas in your head are meant to be...

(even though I used a hoop and stabilizer, the fabric is all scrunched!
ARGH!
Now you know why I was dyeing fabric green... our challenge is due soon!)

12. When you get butt dialed after bedtime on two consecutive nights

it is time to call that person and tell them to take you off their recently called list.

And don't just lie in bed, dye fabric!!!!

13.  Some days you just need to push yourself!

I have been a bit...uh...lazy lately

so I said to myself, today is the day to get it done!

14. If I blog too often, I don't get enough done!
Have a good week!
