News Thread 6.3

The race is on.  Actually, that was last weekend during the Indianapolis 500, but I mean a different kind of race. 

I’m in a race against the clock.  The clock is ticking on getting more items in my Etsy shop.  I am obsessed with Etsy and the outlet that it allows creative people to share their wares all over the world.  I have lots of stuff started to get on there, but I really just need more time in the day.

There are around 20 items that are started and in pieces in my sewing room.  Baskets would help me with organizing this mess.  Pre-cut batting, block sets already made, pre-cut backing fabric. 

Actually we have a cleaning lady coming in next week to give me a price quote to help clean the house weekly.  Why bother with cleaning when I can be sewing. 

As I said on Facebook yesterday…I sewed a marathon.  That means I spent the same amount of time sewing as it would be for me to run a full marathon (26.2 miles).  It was exhilirating.  Maybe I will have another marathon tomorrow night before we head out camping and will finish my race. 

Goals for the week:

  • Two more items up on Etsy. 
  • Backing to Birdie quilt pieced.  Getting it basted would be a BONUS.
  • Cut fabric for friend’s bridesmaid’s gifts.
  • Mail out completed Quilts for Kids completed quilt.
