I felt like I enjoyed them so much it wasn't work. Dan set me straight.

Taking a short break from my "quilt cave" after dinner right now but am going back in. <br /><br />Laugh if you want, but it's been hard today to ignore all that's been going on around me (okay, I haven't succeeded in ignoring it all) and stay on task. I think tomorrow will flow a lot more easily.<br /><br />I'll post a couple of pictures later tonight.Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-66979818296775291972011-02-04T13:44:17.766-06:002011-02-04T13:44:17.766-06:00It's Friday afternoon as I am reading this and...It's Friday afternoon as I am reading this and I do hope you are in your "gal cave" doing what you love to do. Hope the next two days go the same way. We as woman, I think, always feel that we need to be doing something for our families or homes but not for ourselves. So glad that not only are you doing a three day pampering so to speak, but that your hubby supports you in this endeavor. Yay for you and yay for him!!!Karen L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11803082902611080914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-76951734524081680892011-02-04T11:59:34.492-06:002011-02-04T11:59:34.492-06:00Go for it!!

I found out that my tax refund was deposited earlier than it was scheduled for, so did I run out right away to go buy my new sewing machine? NO! I ran around like a mad woman cleaning and grocery shopping and checking off "the list" and figuring out things for hubby and the boys to do this weekend.... NOW I'm ready LOL! I'm headed out the door soon, why oh why doesn't anything open until 10 am? My UFO quilt is impatiently tapping its fingers... Hope you can check in with photos, but don't take too much time off from your quilting, just post a few wordless photos so we can all smile and know you're doing it! Give hubby props for getting out of the house and volunteering for dish duty, no wonder you've kept him around, he's golden!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-41570861942786273802011-02-04T07:24:54.827-06:002011-02-04T07:24:54.827-06:00You go girl!!!You go girl!!!Jane @ Hard Work Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02905658082120445313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-58583120231699334332011-02-04T01:38:11.902-06:002011-02-04T01:38:11.902-06:00Three days of doing exactly what you want to be do...Three days of doing exactly what you want to be doing???

You'd think living alone I could do just that but there are priorities (in my mind) that just have to be done before I have time for fun. So fun just doesn't roll around. I just need to do what you're doing, just do it. Have fun and enjoy your time.Allahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01232546653792863966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-75197579100673909312011-02-03T22:59:01.757-06:002011-02-03T22:59:01.757-06:00Well, I think instead of looking at is as letting ...Well, I think instead of looking at is as letting the house and what not go to the way side -as if it were punishment in some form- that you should look at it as a reward for yourself that has been very well earned and overdue.<br /><br />Some times you NEED to say The Heck With It! and let it go.<br /><br />Let it go to the quilt room and just breathe it in...you can do it.<br /><br />Perception, change it! And you will believe that it is a retreat, a joy, a comfort.<br /><br />Now get in that room!!

I think it may free you up to do it again! It doesn't matter if you work full time out of the house, in the house or around the house. I'm afraid I'm the same way, and it's starting to be no fun. Lock yourself in there and go! When you come out for air, put the blinders on. We are all rooting for you!!!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.com
