It's been a while -- I haven't really had anything to say -- not that that has stopped me before. But I wanted to check in. I am attending a conference tomorrow and Saturday and hope to post some pictures from the area -- Sonoma, I think. Hoping also for some good wine and food. There goes the diet.

I'll check in later!

new projects

I uploaded pictures of my most recent projects .. when I see all the projects I realize that my recent projects are all dark .. I need to do something light. I have a star quilt that I'm starting, but I'm not sure I like the colors. My favorite quilts are light, but I seem to be making others right now. Oh well.

more quilting

Michael bought a motorcycle -- you'd think I'd have a picture of it -- but no, I have a picture out my window on my way to co-sign for the loan ...


I finished a mini-Kelly quilt. there were some left over pieces and I used that to make a mini quilt to hang at the end of the hall. Here's a picture.


Here's a picture of the pillow case I made for Katie.

the book

the title of the book is Legal Writing in Plain English. I know I'm weird to find something like that interesting, but I do. I told a lie in yesterday's post - I'm not putting it back today. I am borrowing it for one more night and maybe I'll actually read some of it this time.

Tuesday's temptations

So here are the things I was tempted by today ...

1 - to sleep in and call in sick
2 - to eat 2 desserts
3 - to eat just one more bowl of popcorn (from Popcorn, Indiana)!!
4 - to watch just one more episode of Charmed or The Office
5 - to skip going to the gym ...

I did borrow a book from my boss ... and didn't tell him (I don't think that is classified as stealing). I promise I'll put it back tomorrow. It's on legal writing .. I can't remember the title but I'll let you know.
