Silver Lining

With all of my recently enforced home time due to my mystery illness, I am at least a week ahead of schedule on my quilt projects. I’m about 20 inches from being done on the binding edge on the queen sized commission I’m working on and just about done with the Noah’s Ark baby quilt as well. I am determined to finish up the queen sized quilt today so I can wash it tomorrow morning and hopefully deliver it by the end of the week.

What a load off my mind that will be. I’ll post pictures as soon as I wash off the chalk marks.

As if my children’s tennis schedule wasn’t onerous enough before, it’s recently been increased. I am now sitting at tennis practice for 13 – yes, I said 13 – hours a week. I anticipate much bonding time with my netbook (her name is Rosemary). I took her along last night so I could do a little editing during my long vigil. If I can reclaim even half of that time every week, just imagine what I could accomplish?

And because you can never start shopping too far ahead of time, I ordered my daughter her very own multi-colored rotating dance ball for her birthday next month. Now we can have a disco any night the mood hits. I also ordered a Nintendo DS for my son to be delivered to me in the US this summer, for his big Christmas present. I even scare myself when I get this efficient.

Child’s Play

This is what happens when mommy is too sick and tired to play with the children on a holiday weekend and allows them to play with her digital camera instead of taking them out.

They take pictures of the television.

They also took pictures of each other, but frankly, most of these were better.

See what I mean?

I’m going to need a reprieve on the new-recipe-a-month resolution thing. Pain and illness are both excellent appetite suppressants and no inspiration for cooking for others. I’ll try to do TWO in June as soon as I’m up to speed again. We’ll see how that works out…
