HELLO! Who has 55 Followers now? Oh right...MRL! Yes yes yes quality over quantity I know, I know...but give a sister a minute to just bask in the glory of reaching a goal. A goal? What goal? Oh, the When I have 50 Followers Fun Giveaway Time Goal. That's right! So really, it is you guys who should be psyched right? [Um, I hope, riiight?]
I am thinking a Pouch & Some Fabric? What about this frame pouch (5" frame)??? Do you not LOVE that lining? The Pouch + Some Pretty Bits...maybe a some Denyse Schmidt (Katie Jump Rope?), Possibly some AMH - okay probably not you guys know I can't part with anything AMH, Amy Butler (Mid Mod perhaps?), hmmm...maybe some Heather Ross??? Some Kokka? Feedback welcome this is all about you guys!
And on this note. I'd like to say thank you for all the insightful comments I received in response to my Small Blog Meet post. It rocks knowing what other bloggers think and learning that being honest and up front is as valuable to you as it is to me! Which is good, because I can't really help myself... Muahahahahaa!
Rambling Scenic Route Ahead - i.e. if you are here for the sewing keep moving on down the page...
Okay, back to Sunday...so here is the dilly. I haven't gotten anything accomplished today except to seam rip (pretty much my least favorite thing to do when it comes to sewing, I'd rather cut fabric than seam rip). To add insult to injury I had to seam rip something I was really proud of last night until I put it up on the design wall and realized DUH I had completely wonked my measurements. Ugh. Curse you math, Curse You.Why the nerves? Well, as people IRL know I haven't been in a courthouse for a bit (Okay, more than a bit. A year, yes a year and 4 days tomorrow to be exact. Freaking freak...trying not to lose it completely!). Plus, we recently moved and which means this is a completely new courthouse and legal community that I know nothing about. Tomorrow I will be visiting our County's Family Court to, hopefully, meet future colleagues, the Chief Clerk, and maybe the Judge? There are so many crazy things going through my head. It isn't as though I will be appearing before the Court...but you know, first impressions are everything and I feel really unprepared. I even picked out my outfit beforehand (that is so not me, I am usually a "I feel red today" kind of wake up and pick out my outfit person). I feel like I have a thousand questions for other lawyers in the area and at the moment I cannot think of a single one. I hate this crazy nervous part of my personality.
Anyway...needless to say it has been hard to focus on anything creative today. I just keep hoping I won't appear like a complete idiot tomorrow. Whether I am one or not is up for debate and would require a whole different type of post.
Time to regroup. Sunday Stats will hopefully fix me right up! Let's see...
Sunday Sewing Stats
For my new followers (eeeeeeeeek!) you can read why I even do this whole Sunday Stats thing here. Let's see last week's goals. I sewed some TBs and decided maybe I should add some solid black into the mix and flesh it out a bit more. Of course, as pointed out by Helen, this is more work for myself...but seriously what else is new?I also completely finished XOXO the 100 Quilts for Kids! WHEW HEW!! Pat on the back Rebecca Lynne!
And...I completed the above pouch! I am not sure it is the pouch for my partner...I love the Echino Madrigal in Peach with the Pink Bird...but I think I need to go Brighter for her taste. But, I am thinking maybe this pouch would be a Great Giveaway item??? Hmmm??? Thoughts? Reactions?
Sewing Goals for the Week of October 2, 2011
- Pretty {little} Pouch Swap: Regroup about pouch colors. Something brighter...more Pop. Maybe take a break.
- Unnamed Quilt Top: Almost done might as well just be completely done with it
- Tumbling Blocks: Sew More, contemplate additional black fabric.
- Hummingbirds & Hexagons: Won't touch until something more is done with TBs. Must prioritize.
- Across the Sea QAL: FINISH BACK & QUILT, moving to bottom of list right now need to get wedding done
- Long-term: Do a block a week of Spinning Stars and Secret Project, both 9 block quilts that can be accomplished block at a time...
- Everything else on hold [Botanika, Fall/Spring, Eureka]
Non-Sewing Goals
- ***FINISH SEWING/BEADING VEIL FOR OCT 14 WEDDING!!!!***
- ***FINISH JEWELRY FOR OCT 14 WEDDING (almost done...)***
- Knit Hooded Scarf
- Still need to post about Quilt Show
- Giveaway Post
- Studio Post
This week I have to put some of my non-sewing goals up front. I really need to prioritize here and get the Wedding Items completed as it is one of my closest friend's wedding and well...it is important to me! It is just hard to get those little bits for jewelry and veil completed during the day so it is going to have to happen at night instead...
I have a lot to get done and I need some serious rest before tomorrow (when I am sure to just do something embarrassing like forget my name, I can feel it). So I am off! Come back later this week as I will be posting the 50 Follower Fun Giveaway!!! Until then, have any sewing goals for the week?

One More Thing. Sheesh, do I get going on Sundays. Speaking about Prioritizing! Thank you so much for all the Birthday Wishes for Miss V. I love sewing, and when employed I stress about work, but everyday I remind myself that the Girls and the Mr. are what really count most. Thank you all for understanding that too!
So here is a little peak of our Friday Birthday Party... Don't you just love those chubby baby fingers?
