I'm leaving in the morning for my retreat in Wisconsin and am still in quite a frenzied state trying to figure out, not what clothes to bring, but WHAT PROJECTS TO WORK ON!!! I mean, it's the hardest decision to make. So much fabric, so many choices... Here is the pile I've put together to take, although I've still got one more project I want to pack (and decide on, too).
Note of course Bonnie's book is on top, since I always refer to it for ideas. And in the middle is a big bag filled with the Ocean Waves parts, which I AM GOING TO FINISH!! There is also a large bag filled with orphan blocks, patterns and books I'm going to hopefully give away while there. I'll be excited to show you my finished projects upon my return in a week.
Oh, and of course one of the very difficult parts of going away (aside from leaving my sweetheart of a husband) is that I won't be picking up my darling grandson Ryan this week, as I usually do. Here is how he looked this week at the park, where we were blowing bubbles:
Hope everyone has a great week!!
Maybe if you left the projects home you could take Ryan! Or not. Looking at that pile of projects I have to ask, are you really only going to be gone a week? : ) Seriously, I know for me so much of what I am sewing on depends on my mood. To have to pack enough stuff to anticipate my moods for a week would be a problem. Of course, if I was a disciplined quilter that wouldn't be an issue, but I'm not, so it is. And I've learned to live with it!
