Pinterest and other dangerous things

I have a lot of things pinned to my pinterest page.  So many that I'm fairly certain that I will never get to them all, however, I find it fun to think about those kinds of things.

The other dangerous thing I've been doing lately is working at a quilt shop.  All day I'm faced with an unlimited number of projects that I could be making if my funds were as unlimited as my inspiration.

Here's what I'm thinking of making right now:

snowman quilt
Sylvia's Bridal Sampler
Amazon Star
Christmas stockings
Christmas presents

There's more, but that's the list right now.
sigh...

A look at the week's creativity

I'm going to try to post on Saturday about the creativity of the week.
It was a busy week with a lot of working at the quilt shop. I got to sew some samples there and did some planning of things to come (that's another post).

This week's evening crafting has been using up scraps to make a fabulous new afghan. It's stripy, and totally unplanned, and huge! I found the idea through ravelry.com on mittensandmakings.blogspot.com/p/crochet-patterns.html
This girl has some other really cute projects that I'll have to try sometime.

Anyway, I made 3 really big balls of yarn made from smaller bits I have leftover. And started a really cool afghan. It's been a fun week!

A long week

This has been a really long week. I've done meetings and work. Paperwork has been crazy; students have been crazy. Jason has been working the super late shift to cover division ii basketball in Cincinnati. So I haven't seen him since Wednesday morning (at least not awake). On the upside, I've had a couple of wonderful afternoons with my favorite little boy. He's running like crazy. His favorite toy is daddy's cell phone. His favorite games are throwing things down the stairs and emptying his fort of toys (but only I'd someone is there to throw them back in). He's finally starting to eat what I cook, but it has to cool down to nearly room temperature.
And the best news is that my parents are coming tomorrow! Daddy is staying until Monday morning and Mommy is staying until next Friday!
That reminds me, I need to make an appointment for our pedicures...
