My dearest Bernina...

... I promise I'm still here & still dreaming up projects.  School has me ridiculously tied up (but that's par for the course this time of year) and I've not been successful at finding time to make sure your gears still work properly.  We've got lots of projects to work on~ a table runner to sandwich & quilt, a few baby quilts to do, and I've got a pattern in mind for a casserole carrier or two or three...

Once I can get life to slow down for a few moments~ or hopefully more than a few~ we will SO be back in business.  Just wanted you to know I hadn't forgotten about you.  I did clean up & organize the table!

I'll be back... soon... promise!  I'll even pinky-swear... !
Your Negligent Owner,

ps: I really hate that I haven't sewn since the turn of the year-- we're just about into March here and I'm feeling so unproductive!  Sew many things I want to do... lacking in the time department.  Once I get home from work & spend time with my munchkin... I'm drained & can hardly muster energy for much of anything. *sigh* Nothing like being a workin' mama with a toddler, a cat, two dogs, multiple fish tanks, & a husby with a crazy schedule himself!!!

>>rewind<< ...please?!

I haven't done *any* sewing since my last post... not even a drop of knitting either.  I'd like to rewind time so I can go back & work on my sewing.  Too bad life doesn't work that way.  School (work) is just so busy that by the time I get home from the gym in the afternoon, make dinner, spend time with my family... I'm totally burnt out & haven't the energy to sit at my machine & create.  That's really sad!

However, I *did* get my quilts back from the Long-Arm quilter... they are simply amazing.  She does beautiful work.  I'll need to get off my duff & get the bindings on them so that they can be officially crossed off the UFO list.  One is going on my bed... I'm super excited that my very first quilt (UFO #1) is completed.  So cool.  Will be sure to post pictures once it goes to it's place of honor. :o)

In the meantime... interim grades are due by the early part of this week... so no sewing while the little guy is napping. (serious bummer!) I'll be back & forth between my grading stack & the computer. Maybe I'll be able to sneak in some sewing tonight.

In the meantime, Happy Quilting/Sewing to those of you with time!!! :o)
