Sew Mama Sew is doing a haiku contest on twitter (a Twaiku, if you please)…so here is mine:

Wish I had more time
Handmade holidays 09
Not gonna happen

Sounds a little depressing, but there are currently more important matters at hand.  Steve started his day off bright & early this morning, meeting the contractor @ 7am to start scraping ceilings and installing lighting. 

Goals this weekend include scraping off wallpaper in the kitchen and 1/2 bath, and painting a bunch of stuff. 

Fun times, indeed…

Margaret sent me back my 2 quilts for Christmas gifts – everything looks great!  She practiced on her own County Fair panels to give me a sense of the quilting – I liked the wavy lines.  Not sure when I’ll find time to bind…  And I was kinda hoping to make tote bags to put them in for each recipient.  December, maybe?

My MIL has requested that I make pillow covers to coordinate with this quilt I gave her last Christmas (BTW – notice the “WAS $100″ in the listing?  I didn’t pay that much, hehehe).  So I have ordered some fabric, hopefully it will work.  But if anyone can identify the fabrics in this quilt, that would be helpful, in case what I ordered doesn’t seem like it will work…

So that will probably be the extent of my handmade holidays.  Bummer dude
