Thinkin' about It Thursday

This week, I'm thinking...

  • That I really, truly, am a machine girl.
  • That hand-piecing and hand applique are just not really my cup of tea.
  • That, however, I do like doing felted wool with a blanket stitch by hand.
    • Just not in several layers with a honkin' big chenille needle that hurts my fingers trying to get it through everything.
  • How I'm finally narrowing in on being able to start my embroidery for the Sue Spargo embroidery class (not the "Sue Spargo Take 6 Weeks to Finish Your Background" class).
  • That I'll find out then whether I'm an embroidery girl.
  • How I have a few too many projects clamoring for my attention at the moment.
  • That, regardless, I'm having too much fun to stop myself. ("Ooh, shiny!")
  • How much I'm looking forward to going to a class on Saturday with a bunch of my peeps.
  • How it's been way, way too long since I've gotten to spend time with my Guildy-Girls. 
  • That, on the other hand, I've gotten to spend time with a few of them in our Design Study Group this week.
  • How much fun Design Study Group is. 
    • Especially when someone brings in a project for a consult.
    • And we can all gather around and discuss design principles and voice opinions.
  • That it'll be fun to see what they do with the art quilt design classes we're all taking the next couple of Saturdays.
  • How that brings me back to looking forward to going to a class with my quilty peeps.
  • How that almost makes it better that there's still piles of snow outside that haven't melted enough yet for us to even see pavement.
  • How the forecast doesn't look good for the next several days.
  • That at least "March 1st" means "Getting closer to spring," so I'll be celebrating that day even if it is supposed to snow.
  • That even the Doofus has an opinion about the weather.
