If you could see inside of my brain, this is what it would look like.
I have far too much I need and want to do, and soon:
The Modern Siggy Swap, by the end of this month
Oops
Skirts for Haiti, by the end of this month
Black and white apron challenge, by the end of this month
Skirts for my daughters, SOON (the fabrics were Christmas gifts; I'd really like for them to wear them as skirts before the season passes!)
Grocery tote bags for the local food bank (I've been working on these for far longer than I care to admit)
A quilt for my daughter's upcoming Rite of Passage (more on that later) and hope chest
A Cheaper By the (Half) Dozen quilt I cut out; I'm auditioning the placement of the pieces in this picture, with the border fabric on the left side (Lisa's got a couple of beautiful ones here and here)
A couple of surprise wedding announcements, both of which are happening NEXT MONTH (a pattern and fabric possibility)

Now, mind you, I am an adjunct professor, and I finished up a term this week, so that meant final grades and all had to be determined and submitted this week. And I start a new term in a few days, so I have a lot of prep work for that.
AND my daughters just finished up a major concert--yes, it happened in the middle of the snowstorm.
Oh, and yes, a wee bit of snow--
Last week
This week
OK, so, what do I start eliminating?
I do believe that you will have to start eliminating sleep to get everything done. This month has just gone by WAY too fast.
ReplyDeleteMake a list of the most important...not the most urgent. Then go from there. If you had a stroke, what would be of most importance. You might be surprised. Just don't get too stressed. The old saying, STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES, is really true. Love to you and your precious family!
ReplyDeleteLaural, that's funny! February is a short month; I have to remember that.
ReplyDeleteCathy'd that's good advice ("if you had a stroke"). Wow.
Oh my gosh cute stuff, I can relate. Life is so "full" of stuff that gets inside us but it is all good. Well mostly.
