and maybe a couple more I can't think of at the moment. Having them on my phone is far from ideal, but it makes it so much easier to read over the head of the sleeping baby. Unless of course I fall asleep too. Last night the baby was out by 6:35 and I was out by 7:00. And we both took a 2.5 hour nap today. I guess I thought that 'sleep while the baby sleeps' would have worn off by now, but if anything, it is more important than ever.
Oh -- and check something off the yearly goal list: new restaurant visited. Waltzing Kangaroo in Fort Collins, CO. Delicious. Will definitely return.
It's not on the list, but the baby has now been in 5 states (at 8 months). Still hoping for a trip up to see Baby C soon, and if we're that close, it's tempting to drive a little farther just to hit a 6th state... but I don't think we will. But, we need a bigger car (probably) before we take that trip, so I'm spending time back on the car shopping sites -- what a horrible way to spend time!
I ordered and received the material for the backing and binding for two quilts I'm working on, which once again puts me back at facing the basting I've been procrastinating on.
Although I could technically skip ahead and start on another top... but at some point I have to buckle down and finish something. Sooner rather than later on two of these. So, I'm trying to use that top making as a bribe... but so far I'm just accomplishing nothing instead.
Life called on me to I skip my last quilting night, and I don't get another one until May, so I'm going to have to start getting intentional about setting aside some time to work on my own or I'm never going to keep up with all the babies coming this fall! Full count for people I know is up to about 8 -- but I'm only gifting to two or three of them, plus the one that I ought to be mailing this month (I'm going to be late, I know it).
So, alive, but a long ways from being having anything to show off here.
Goal for the weekend: baste.
Goal for the month: finishing up 1-2 quilts.
Ambitious and unlikely? Yep. But, I can dream!
