Summertime Blue

It hit yesterday....like a Mac truck. Ran around most of the day getting things squared away to get mother in laws car transferred to Jillaine and Chris. Came home and fell on the couch...never wanting to move again. But being the dedicated soul (read obsessive-complusive) that I am finally managed to get butt off said couch and into studio....and shut my mouth, energy sparked. Worked out all the rest of the Albers piece which is now officially named, Jambalaya. All that's left is applique and surface design. Amazing how being in the studio brings out the best in me....not that the best is anything to write home about but for me, it's as good as it gets.

I am still promising pictures by the end of the week....don't know if the surface design wil be finished but surely the sewing will be, so stay tuned.

Now to the blues part: debr got mentioned on the Manolo's blog. My life is over, me the collector of as many shoes as possible...now trying to figure out how to get the Manolo to notice my shoes. Should I photograph them all and post to the blog dreaming of being noticed? Should I just forget it and go spend a huge dollar amount on a new pair of shoes? This quandry is disturbing my chi.

On top of that she has managed to finish reading two books....does the woman sleep? I am currently reading like five books and can't seem to get past the middle of any of them. Plus there are ladies on the ring knitting as well. I am surrounded by wonder women. My poor knitting is sitting in a pile on top of the books that I should be reading.

Analysis: I am a slug....or at least, a one trick pony. All I do is make quilts....think about making quilts....talk about making quilts....have no friends who don't make quilts. There is a neurosis in here somewhere. Someone save me from myself......nah, don't mess with the crazy person....just walk on the other side of the street when you see me coming.
