Sewing today!

I am sewing today! Are all the items on my "TO-DO" list completed? NO!
Is there quilting that needs to be completed.......YES
Have I even had a shower yet? NO!

I have been doing my chores around the house and trying to be a good housewife. When I am working, Mark does a lot of the housework and almost all of the cooking. When I am not working, I do those things. I figure it is only fair right? I usually get a lot of satisfaction in keeping my house clean and cooking and organizing. Not this time..... I have been in a funk!

It most likely is because I am very upset about my mobility of late, or lack thereof.....I thought I would be up and doing things normally again within a couple months but it's not happening that way. I am stiff and hurting a lot. Standing up from a sitting position is difficult. I don't walk normally. I don't use my cane around the house but I do out in public because I always feel as if I will fall otherwise. I don't want to go on dissability but I may not have a choice if I don't get another job soon. I feel like my condition will really stop employers from hiring me. I know they aren't supposed to discriminate but it happens (you can't prove it anyway). So, yeah....I've been down in the dumps. I woke up today and felt like sewing so I AM!
I have 3 different projects I am working on at a time. First there is my 4 patch posie using bright Christmas fabric. A friend in my Tuesday sewing group cut the whole thing out then gave it to me. It is turning out cute. There will be frames around each block and then a sashing and cornerstones to lay it out.

I also have another 4 patch posie that I cut out from a favorite fabric of mine. You quilters may recognize this fabric from about 15 yrs ago. It was very popular!


Then I am also working on my Christmas Diamond strip blocks.


I'll get to the To-DO list soon enough!
So much for my not procrastinating! OY!

I'm a fraud!

I posted earlier about all the things I was going to accomplish today and I didn't do a thing! I read a book! A silly girly novel at that! Ok I took off that big long list because it was quite frankly, embarrassing! I just made dinner and I do intend to piece for a bit so those two stayed..sheesh, I need some motivation!

Maybe tomorrow...maybe not!

Procrastination

I am a horrible procrastinator! Really! I have a friend who does my taxes and I got my info to her late and she has been working her tail off because I'm not the only one who got it to her so late when there is no reason for it. It was stressful for her and for me. Why do I do that to myself? Why do I do that to my friend?

I am drawing a line in the sand, RIGHT HERE....RIGHT NOW!

As you know, I am laid off again. I will spend some time each day looking for gainful employment and then do my housework and work on some sewing and quilting. No more putzing around getting nothing done. No more waiting until the last minute to make a baby shower gift....I mean, you have MONTHS to get it done right? So why am I always sewing down the binding hours before the shower? It is all in your mindset and I am changing mine as of right now!

Watch me! I'll be posting more on how I am a recovering procrastinator!
