more, please...

I've been seeing all the great new "stuff"

that was released at

Quilt Market this Spring...

and I need more, please...

more TIME, that is!!!

Oh me, oh my...

Really, what are they (the designers)

trying to do to us stitchers???!!!

Check out these new things-

in no particular order of preference ---

I'm telling you, I love them all!

These first two are from that bunch of troublemakers   from Crabapple Hill...    I can blame them in great part for my lack of time out of the stitching department!! :)

 Then there's that Kathy Schmitz... too many new things here that I would like to do, also!

Then, lo and behold... the new Need'l Love book comes into the lqs where I work part-time... now one of these has made it home with me!

And, I'm telling you,

that I ALREADY

 take my stitching with me everywhere

(just ask my family and friends - EVERYWHERE)!

Really, I have needle & thread with me at all times -

and most of that time it is on my person...

if not in my hand,

then the needle is stuck in my shirt-front 

& the thimble is in my pocket.

The gals at the market/grocery think something is wrong if I come in without a needle stuck into my clothing somewhere (they are kind and mostly over-look the threads stuck to me everywhere).

If you'd see my project stash, you'd think I was starting to hoard  (OK, past the "starting" stage)!  But if you don't get it when you see it, it's not available at a later date, I've found.

Anyway,

back to the ways I've found

to get some more time:

I've cut waaaaay back

on the time-wasting chores

of cleaning and dusting-

that stuff just comes back

almost as soon as you've done it, anyway.

I've pretty much given up on sleeping

(though that could be an age thing :) coming on)...

but that sure allows some more stitching time.

What's a gal to do?

 Retire?

I know,

maybe I could get a stitching job...

with a designer ...

and just stitch...

all day,

every day,

morning, noon & night.

Doesn't that sound like a dream job, or what?

The only thing that could make it better?

To get paid a little-

paid in flosses and wools!

Do you have any 
"more time, please" 
suggestions??

And, tell me...

what is your favorite new pattern

or fabric that's calling out to you?
