Ack!

I’m in shock. My pile of projects that I need to finish and/or start is growing faster than I can control it! I have a little drawer with several things in it — things that need further thought about how I want to do them. And then this is a group of other things that have been sitting on my ironing board and sewing cabinet recently. I really need to get busy, as I keep telling myself.

1. I’m almost finished with a cardigan I’ve been knitting and which I could really use right now while it’s so chilly.
2. My ‘Tis the Season quilt is sandwiched and has the stabilizing quilting all done; I “just” need to do the pretty quilting, but I’m having trouble settling on designs (what else is new?).
3. The manila envelope is instructions for a little clutch I’m considering making to replace the evening bag that won’t hold my cell phone, which is slightly larger than my previous one.
4. And that big white “thing” is the fusible Pel-Tex I just purchased to make an embroidered towel holder so my kitchen towel won’t constantly fall off of the handle to my oven.

Faced with all of this, here I sit, writing a blog post instead. I’ll blame it on the cold I’ve had for almost three weeks now ….
