I resolve to....

Okay, this is what I put in the latest e-mail update: "I confess at 60 years of age, I've finally realized my own abilities, and no longer make any hard core New Year's resolutions!" But that's not to say I don't have some "goals" I focus on - right? I have been trying really hard to finish some of those projects that have been hanging around the shop for too long. And we know that lots of you have been saying you want to use your "stash" for your projects. So, to that end, we put up this sign and filled the top of the bookcase with some patterns and books that are kind of "scrappy stashbusters"! And if you come across some great ideas, let us know - okay?

Well, Harriet and I had lots of fun today! First we worked a lot on the Block of the Month kits, and made quite a bit of progress. And then Izzie came at 3:00 and got the bags for the kits all ready. So my mission is to finish cutting the kits so Izzie and Emily can have a bag stuffing party Friday afternoon! We had lots of fun customers today as well. It's just so great to see some of the projects you all are working on, although I do get jealous sometimes. If I could just squeeze a bit more time out of each day.....

Later in the afternoon, Harriet and I put the chicken quilt top up behind the counter, along with the new Laurel Burch Secret Jungle panel. Oh, and we got the tickets in for Sew Expo, too. And, a really cool koi print with a couple of companions, and a couple of great prints in browns and blue from Alexander Henry came on the UPS truck.

Got to run - I brought home a few of the BOM pieces to cut here, plus I'm working on a new charm pack pattern. And, guess what? No laundry tonight. Have a wonderful evening all!
