    Oh Boy....I have felt the same way....I had all these grand ideas of making quilts, scarves, placemats for christmas. My son, daughter-in-law and 4 month grandson came a week before Christmas and there went the ideas...nothing like a grandbaby....now it's back to making those projects and will give them out next Christmas...

    Okay, it's a new dawn, it' a new day... 2014 is underway. I finished drapes for our living room today which were in the making for about a year. One UFO off my list on January 1st. Now I can start a new project guilt-free.

    I've been in a complete slump for the last 3 months. I decided that I will spend time in the Mom cave daily (when I'm in town) in 2014, even if it is just 15 minutes.

    So last night I worked on basting the quilt that is causing my quilter's block, played with my HQ Sweet Sixteen a little while. Taught my 13 year old son how to use Mollie (my Sweet Sixteen), pressed a table runner/wall hanging so that it is ready to be sandwiched, and pressed 42 blocks for a quilt-along which ended in October. I then got stuck with layout ideas for the 42 blocks (I find that scrappy and I do NOT get along well), but I think I pushed through that with pen and paper last night - so I should be able to get those laid out/sorted out tonight and maybe even start sewing the rows together.

    Also listened to The Phantom in the background and part of Men In Black.

    Cheers, K
