Lists and half finished projects... it doesn't end. So much I want (or need) to do.
I want to make a basket full of pretty hearts for Valentines day. I want to finish some sewing patterns and get them ready to print. I want to make an apron. I want to make a table cloth.
I need to finish the laundry. I want to start some new designs. I want/need to finish the color card for the first line of fabric. I want to write a book, design paper, learn how to knit, go to school, get on the phone and make some sales calls (that's a need to rather than want to).
I want to curl up on the couch and watch The View and then Oprah. I want to work out, walk my dogs, play with my kids, make a nice meal. I would really like to go to the movies. And eat a candy bar. Take a bath. Need to put some socks on my freezing feet.
I really want to finish the quilt for our bedroom... and painting the bedroom would be good too. Did I ever tell you that we have had test paint splotches on my wall in my bedroom for years and still have not decided on a color? See, something has to give.
I'd like to do all these things and do them all right now. I'd like to clone myself and I'd like to add an additional 6 hours to the day.
And I want them to be sunny bright hours. If hours are added to the day, it should be the middle of the day, don't you think?
I think that what I'm going to do is finish what I was doing before I got distracted and started to write this entry. Off to the cutting table. Oddly, that wasn't on the list. Maybe because I was already doing it.
I have a similar list going...frustrating, and now with baseball starting for both my boys - laundry will be my life!! (Thank God Meg only does volleyball - she doesn't get quite as dirty). Can't wait for the new fabrics!!

When you figure out how to get all of this done, and add those 6 hours in, would you please let me know! :) xoxo

I want those 6 hours to be added to the night, and my children and husband to sleep during those 6 hours so I can actually accomplish some of the things on my list without interruption. :)

Wow, what a good post! My sentiments exactly. Hope you get a lot accomplished today. :)

I feel the same way! Too many projects, not enough time! Can't wait to see your finished fabric line- congrats!

You reminded me of several things I should be doing today. But, on the plus side, catching up with my blog reading is a fixture on my Saturday morning list.

Oh, that is a huge list of wonderful things to be doing! I know the feeling... Enjoy the process. I am still so thrilled for you that you are designing fabric!!!

I feel like this all the time....never enough time to do everything...and I can't possibly drink MORE coffee.

I also for adding those 6 to the nighttime. A nice quiet house would be so productive for me. It might actually stay clean for more than 20 minutes then...Love your list of lists...
