Oh what a crazy day yesterday was!!! DH and I zipped off to the car rental place for 7 AM. They were slow? We did not leave until 7:30! I had a big drive ahead of me - 2 1/2 hours at least and the car rental place was in the opposite direction from where I was going. With early morning traffic to get out of the city and construction and the delay at the car rental place - I was 20 minutes late!! But no worries - it all worked out.
I do not have time to blog about it this morning - got another absolutely crazy day!
I do have two pictures to share with you. This is the MESS that I am faced with these days.
The cutting table is piled HIGH |
The extra tables are piled high |
And the ironing board is piled even higher and the sewing table - let's not even go there. There are bags of stuff from presentations that need to be dealt with. Oh boy - I am in deep trouble. I am trying to decide what to do with the few hours I have free today. I think I need to do some organization or I am going to be spending loads of time trying to find things and that is NOT productive.
So while I do like organizing - I hate taking the time to do it.
I got a book from the library the other day and I grabbed it this morning to have a quick look. I read the introduction by the author - all bubbly and full of great ideas and hope. Then I looked at the publication date - 2013. Then I looked at the bio and I noticed TWO DATES behind her name and I thought - that is very weird and they only do that for people who have died. Further investigation indicated that this author died in May 2013. Yikes - so I did a search on the internet and both her and her husband died on a family (year-long) camping trip in Australia - she is an Australian. Worst part - they died in front of their children!!!
The book is called Brave New Quilts by Kathreen Ricketson.
Wow - that was a bit sobering! Anyway - there are a lot of very interesting designs in the book and OH - I NEED MORE TIME to do everything I want to do. I would so love to spend time just experimenting. Taking one idea and running with it. I do get to do that, but just not enough to exhaust all the ideas. Let's face it - even if I did nothing else - I would never exhaust the ideas so I just have to learn to live with it!!!!
On that note - I better get dressed and get my car! And then I have a VERY URGENT errand to do. although it seems very crazy to DRIVE to the office to get an expired driver's license renewed, but I never said that - did I!!!!! Let's just say - it is NOT the first time this has happened, but first time I never even thought about it. Hmmmmm - what does that mean? Age????
Have a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ciao!!!!!!!!!!
