Oh, to be that crisp and pert! I feel like I've been hit by a bus and dragged for 3 blocks, and I'm sure I don't look much better. And while I've never actually had a martini, I always imagine that it is a "relax at the end of a long day" kind of drink. It's been a L-O-O-N-N-G-G couple of days, and some relaxation sounds pretty good right about now. So, I'll be making a little wallhanging of this gal to pull out on days like this. The pattern is in the June 2008 Crafts 'n Things magazine, a magazine that I've never seen before, but that my mom scavenged for me from some people at work who were throwing them away. I'm not particularly crafty, so there's not much in there that I can do, but I have pulled out a couple of ideas.
I also have been getting some ideas from Jenifer at Forty-Two Quilts. I first learned of her Wednesday Quilt Show when Bonnie Hunter had a quilt featured there recently. So I submitted some quilts and lo and behold, my Bright Idea quilt was featured there this week! So, while I was over there getting excited about having my quilt on someone else's blog, I came across the Diamond Argyle Quilt by Reeze Hanson of Morning Glory Designs. LOVE IT! It's on the same Wednesday Quilt Show blog entry as my quilt - go check it out.
Guess where I'll be going for eye candy every Wednesday...

I went over to check out your quilt and I agree that the Argyle Diamond quilt is just up your alley!! I love it....and of course your Bright Ideas quilt is one of my absolute faves! Have a restful weekend, dear one!!
I love your little martini girl and think it will make an adorable stitchery project.
Glad to see your Bright Ideas quilt featured on the other blog. It might show up on my blog someday, (with your permission of course!) I'd love to make a similiar one, and show yours as the inspiration.
Your bright ideas quilt looks fab on that blog. Personally I like a glass of red wine and some Claire Lynch on the CD player. That's what I'm doing right now.
I hear ya! if ya make the wallhanging,hang it out EVERY day!
Get some rest and hang in there.
Love the dishtowel. It reminds me of a time when women werent trying to do 100 things all at once !
Hope you can decrease your busy-ness down to 50 things at once -soon!
