What to do, what to do?

Well my blog people, what should we talk about today? I don't know, but I felt like I should blog before the Cards game started instead of trying to write and watch baseball at the same time.

I have been quilting away like a crazy lady downstairs. I think at the beginning of the week I had 20 or so finished quilts waiting to be picked up! They are slowly being picked up by their owners. 4 made it out of the studio today only to immediately be replaced with 4 new quilts awaiting quilting. I have even more scheduled quilt drop offs tomorrow! Its busy and I like it like that. However, Ditto is feeling left out. He is not supposed to come into my studio, so he hangs out on the top of the stairs, looking at me longingly. Sorry dude, no dogs allowed!


So I was a little jealous of all the cool kids that went to Sewing Summit this past weekend. I wanted to go but there was NO WAY it would have fit into my schedule. Plus my "negative self" kept telling me that I wasn't good enough or bloggy enough or quilty enough to go. Why is it that I self doubt myself so much? I'm an AWESOME quilter (if I do say so myself!), my blog is new and still growing but I'm proud of it. I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, People like me. (Thanks Al Franken, I am good enough!) Still, there's always a shadow of doubt in the back of my mind. I'm sure that's normal. Like the first day of school, wondering if anyone will play with you at recess. I guess it never goes away no matter how old you are. And because everyone was out playing, all the blogs that I love were very quiet. Not all of them, but a lot of them. But everyone seems to be back and now I can rest assured that my quilt blogs will be inspirational and motivational again! Thank you to all my blog homies that I stalk, I need you more that you know!

I feel like I should give you an ongoing quilt project update, but those are funner if I have pictures to go with my ramblings. Ill work on that.


Why is it so hard to pick out a Halloween costume for yourself? I have lots of ideas for Little G and will cherish these next few years where I might get some say in what he wears, but for the life of me I cant figure out what I should wear. We are going to friends sons birthday/ Halloween get together and they have asked everyone to come in costume. At one point in my life I might have been able to pull off the sexy nurse, sexy kitty, sexy librarian, etc . . . but definitely not now. Plus I think showing up to a 5 year olds birthday party dressed as a sexy bumble bee just might be a tad inappropriate. Last year the family went with a group costume and it was super cute! We were Popeye, Olive Oyl, and Sweet Pea! But Matt doesn't want to do a theme this year so I'm stuck trying to find something for just me and Little G. Lets just say, its been tough so far. Any family appropriate ideas out there? Help a mommy out!

I'm so with you on the sew summit and the cool kids. understand completely.

Is it terrible that I never dress up on halloween, never been a huge fan, even as a kid. I hope you find a good idea for a costume!
