Been Awhile

Actually, it seems like it's been forever! I've bought a few more things off ebay and done some more work on my "Sleepy Friends" for my friend's baby. I've actually done a good bit of work on it the last few days because I haven't felt like doing much else. I've felt like crap....again....like THAT'S anything new!
Looks like we're FINALLY gonna get rid of our houseguest. He's moving out this weekend....can you feel my excitement??!!??!!??!! He's SO totally getting on my nerves! I can't wait to have him gone!

I've been brainstorming on my state quilt project and can't wait to get it underway. I've got a book that I bought off ebay that should be getting here in a few days and as soon as I get that, I'm gonna really buckle down and start my designs. I'm gonna start with the states that I already have someone to stitch. Actually I'll probably start with Texas so I can go ahead and do it and get an idea of what the thing's gonna look like. I think it'll be great once I get it all together!

Can't Think of Anything To Call This One

The worst part about one of these blogs is trying to come up with a title for it....crazy, I know. Anyway, I finished Patrick's birth sampler and now I'm starting on the one for my friend Jennifer's baby who is due in March. She doesn't have a decided name yet...well, her first name will be Riley, but they haven't decided on a middle name yet....oh well, it doesn't matter yet anyway!
We got our assignments for the charity quilt and I've bought all my supplies that I need, which wasn't all that much...just had to get the fabric and a couple of colors that I didn't have. I'll be starting on that in the next day or two.
That's about all I've got on the stitching front....other than that my life has been dull....I stay pretty pissed off all the time since we still have our "roommate" living here. I was hoping that being a total bitch would run him off, but he's a toughie! But if he's NOT gone by Feb 1, I will make his life SOOOO miserable!

New Ideas

I had what I refer to as a "brain fart" today....I'm going to take ALL of my stitching that I do in 2005 and make an actual paper journal as I complete each piece. That way, it'll all be on paper and I can keep up with everything. Silly, maybe, but I think it'll be fun!

I didn't do a whole lot of stitching today. I went to the mall for a little while and to Wal-Mart later....never said my life was fun, but it's all I have! Alyssa didn't get crap for a nap today so she'll be asleep in a few minutes, which will be good! Hopefully I'll get more stitching done tomorrow....that's my goal anyway!

Welcome to 2005!!

It's been a relatively quiet year so far, thankfully! Now if the next 354 days could be as peaceful this would be "my" year...but what are the odds??

I got my husband's tiger finished at approximately 11:47 last night, so I made my 2004 deadline. Now I've started on the baby sampler for my friend Christy's new baby boy, Patrick, who was born December 30.
I have an insanely large list of things to work on this year....I have another baby sampler to do after Patrick's, then I have RR things to do, and a charity quilt to help with, and I'm starting on Christmas gifts for this year....I want to make something for everyone. Luckily I have a very small family!

But I'm going to pace myself and get as much as I can done! I'll keep everyone updated!!
