This week, I'm thinking...
- That I really, truly, am a machine girl.
- That hand-piecing and hand applique are just not really my cup of tea.
- That, however, I do like doing felted wool with a blanket stitch by hand.
- Just not in several layers with a honkin' big chenille needle that hurts my fingers trying to get it through everything.
- How I'm finally narrowing in on being able to start my embroidery for the Sue Spargo embroidery class (not the "Sue Spargo Take 6 Weeks to Finish Your Background" class).
- That I'll find out then whether I'm an embroidery girl.
- How I have a few too many projects clamoring for my attention at the moment.
- That, regardless, I'm having too much fun to stop myself. ("Ooh, shiny!")
- How much I'm looking forward to going to a class on Saturday with a bunch of my peeps.
- How it's been way, way too long since I've gotten to spend time with my Guildy-Girls.
- That, on the other hand, I've gotten to spend time with a few of them in our Design Study Group this week.
- How much fun Design Study Group is.
- Especially when someone brings in a project for a consult.
- And we can all gather around and discuss design principles and voice opinions.
- That it'll be fun to see what they do with the art quilt design classes we're all taking the next couple of Saturdays.
- How that brings me back to looking forward to going to a class with my quilty peeps.
- How that almost makes it better that there's still piles of snow outside that haven't melted enough yet for us to even see pavement.
- How the forecast doesn't look good for the next several days.
- That at least "March 1st" means "Getting closer to spring," so I'll be celebrating that day even if it is supposed to snow.
- That even the Doofus has an opinion about the weather.
