Weekend Playtime...

 On Thursday, one of my students said that she'd been exploring my blog and had seen 

photos of my studio. She spoke of it in glowing terms, and I admit that I was a bit 

embarrassed. I quickly told her that I all bloggers usually only share studio photographs

after a recent cleaning. Don't we all like to put our best foot (feet?) forward?

 So, to prove that my creative space is usually like the everyone else, I'm posting 

pics of my room right after completing Handsome's Princeton Plates quilt top.

There are scraps of fabrics on tables, threads on the floor (Did I tell you I 

really hate that carpet? The only reason it's still in there is because I'd have to 

empty the studio to put in a new floor!), and many notions out of place. I'll have

to put away my rulers and cutters, store the iron and ironing board until the next 

time I need them, clean off all my horizontal surfaces and vacuum. I really must 

vacuum. (Please don't tell my doctor, as I'm not technically allowed yet.)

 

 I haven't put away the rest of the Princeton fabrics yet because I'm still going

to make two panels that will become trim for the guest room headboard.

I'll also make coordinating pillowcases, so I'll precut the fabric for those, too.

 The quilt top will be hanging in the studio hallway until I can take it to the 

long-arm quilter. The studio will have to wait for its much-needed cleaning. 

I'm taking the weekend off!

I'm going to Coffee Club this morning.

This evening, Handsome and I are going to our friend's 80th Birthday party.

Tomorrow, I'm going to spend the day playing with Tag - and 

Handsome and I plan to relax through the middle part of the day, 

We'll be joining friends for dinner out in the evening. 

Notice that "cleaning the studio" isn't on that list at all.

I hope you, too, are able to enjoy a restful weekend with someone you love.

It's really all we really need.
