Its official

It is official that I "THINK " I am super woman , yes I sign up for BOM'S , I sign up for blog hops and I even sign up for postcard exchanges all with this little saying come from my lips" Oh I can do that" .Well it seems that I am lacking what so many others are these days ,time with a capital   T , yes there is simply not enough to go around for all that I want to accomplish and do you know I even told Carrie that I did not have enough UFO'S to sign up for her new challenge , again what was I thinking , of course I have UFO'S more than I guess I want to count so I will be signing up for that one as I do need to get a few off my list . To name a few "Henrietta Whiskers " it has been in my hoop for a while now with a few stitches holding it together so I need to finish that off , then there is the SAHRR that I signed up with Sunny , hmmm ,that one was on the design wall for months with no progress so I took it down , better get it back up there . Oh and we can't forget the houses I did with Terry , yikes they are in a box not even sewn together and neither are the cottages from Shabby fabrics but I did keep up with those so that is a plus I think. Should I go on or have I made you as tired as I am . Oh there is more I just signed up for a postcard exchange , candles , think I better light one and say a prayer or two . Let's just say that 2013 is already forecast to be a busy time but lots of fun too so I am looking forward to catching up on a few projects and finishing a few too , how about you , please tell me I am not alone here .
 Now after I got all that off my chest let me show you what I am working on ,oh my I am about to reveal yet another project that will soon be a UFO .
I have completed three of the four main blocks in the little free project from Ellie's Quilt Place , I have block four traced out and will work on that this evening . I have enjoyed this very much but am a tad concerned about trying to figure out how to put it together  , you see even though we use metric here in Canada I have along with all of my friends always used inches not cm. when quilting .weird I know but it is what we became accustomed to and I guess most patterns originate from the US.
 I also did finish off two little ornaments that did not make it to the tree but will be ready for Christmas next year. 


The angel has been unfinished for years , now that is truely sad isn't it , I mean how much work could it have been ;-)
I also did this little stitchery which was a free pattern from Lenna of Little Green Cottage .
 I think it is so cute and in a simple way so now I will have to add border and finish it , that makes this a UFO too doesn't it.Today I did this block which is part of a BOM I am doing with the guild.
 Those log cabins are just three inches , pretty tiny pieces and for the first time in my life I was wishing this was PP , but it turned out just fine without the paper so I am happy. That's it for me folks I know I have kept you all long enough , time is a wasting .  I am linking up to the Needle and Thread Network for WIP wednesday . Thanks for the visit and maybe I will have a finish the next time you stop by . Hugs Sheila

  8. My husband keeps telling me I need to stand in the mirror and just practice saying No over and over and over. I haven't done it yet, so like you, I am scrounging for time like change in the couch cushions. Bt UFOs mean we always have options, not a bad thing!

  10. I think many of us share your dilemma. I am determined this year to move along on some of my UFOs but allowing myself to also start new projects too!!
    You have got lots of great projects on the go; I especially like your log cabin bloom..very cute.

I know what you mean...I can't begin to count all the projects I have waiting for me in my sewing corner but am always so anxious to participate in new BOMs...I guess I am a Superwoman too...giggle...but don't we have fun!

  17. Yes, time is the first ingredient for all those projects - maybe we should add a week or so to 2013, just in case!
