Well I didn't make it out of my drive yesterday in time to participate in the 2-day pilot class. My neighbor took pity and plowed the drive mid-afternoon. It took about an hour and a half, twice as long as usual, because of the depth and heaviness of the snow. I was beginning to get cabin fever.

For some unknown and illogical reason, I didn't want to get started on a new project, even if they were all shouting at me. Actually, I had my mind set on the pilot and wasn't accepting the fact that the class had come and gone...without me! At that point, if I had a tail it would be between my legs and if I had any stress tabs (M&M's) I'd have a bowl full of those too. But instead I ended up pulling out an older UFO (although if it's still on the stretcher, it's officially a WIP, at least in my mind), GAR's Red Kitty.
I love this sampler and don't know why I put it down some months ago. But I was able to make some progress and soon my self talk turned from poor me to OMG, I'll have this completed in no time and another finished project for 2009. What's that they say about life giving you lemons? Oh, now I remember, "When life gives you lemons, put them in your bra." :) Or something like that.
Thanks for visiting on this sunny morning in Colorado.
I envy that snow. In Texas we are already sweltering in heat - and have been using AC since February. I do love Colorado - used to spend summers there as a child.
ReplyDeleteHope you'll come up for a visit! I'll be down there in July and know I'll be in for it with hot weather. Meanwhile I hope this early Summer weather you're having will change back to Spring. My family is in Phoenix where it was 102 already. ugh.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely project and I am looking forward to seeing it completed.
ReplyDeleteI have purchased lots of Gay Ann's projects but never got to this one. I still have her Mystery House to do, one of these days but for now I am having my hands full with Hollyhock House, size wise anyway (grinning).
