March Break has begun.... the first day has been one of snow, ice pellets and currrently freezing rain. I'm glad I no longer have young children - at least I'm not listening to "Mummy, I'm bored...what can I do now?" Laura has an essay to write this week, and lots of work to get done on Yearbook and Grad Class Executive stuff- securing prizes for the Grad's Casino Night is the most pressing job... so she has LOTS to keep her busy this week....
I have many friends who have gone south for the week, or longer. Of course I am envious, but am trying to keep busy to make the days pass quickly. I decided I would make a good long list of things to accomplish, so I would feel I've really made good use of time.. not like my friends who are lazing on a beach somewhere with a Pina Colada in hand- the lazy sloths!! Just kidding girls!!
So- what have I done so far? Well, I've finished another great book- "The Glass Castle" by Jeannette Walls. What a great read! I highly recommend it! Today I finished up my quarterly N.B. Regional Report for CQA/ACC and got it sent off for the next issue of The Canadian Quilter. Tonight I will finish a bit of beading on a silk needlefelting piece - you'll see it tomorrow. I've decided on the next two Miniature quilts I'm going to do, hopefully will get at least one started this week. Spent some time drawing up 2" blocks on graph paper, so that's ready to roll... One will be done in greens, the other I'm still pondering. But before I start that, I'll finish the Sashiko mat- yes the photo yesterday was a piece of Sashiko I have stitched. It's waiting for borders and machine quilting...it's next on my To Do List...
Piece,
Linda
The greatest accomplishment is to make work seem simply like play....

I totally missed this March Break blogpost.
I am a list person too. I find I totally forget things if I don't write them down once in a while and remember them at bad times - like in the middle of the night. I love it when I can cross things off my list. I tend to re-do my list when I get half the things done. There's something I like about a fresh list. Maybe it's like a brain dump and my brain has the freedom to wonder and not try to remember things... for a short time anyway. I'm rambling.. .Have a Happy March Break!
Yes, I'm TOTALLY a list person. I get such great satisfaction from crossing things off! I guess we all have to do whatever works for us, right?
