The Blame Game

I started this week with good intentions.  I was going to limit my time on the computer, cross stitch a bit, embroider a bit, exercise a little, and sew a little.  Yep that lasted one whole day.  Tuesday after cleaning my bus multiple times just in the morning I was late leaving work, had to run home, then to the gas station, and to the feed store to get the girls some feed.  I visited the girls when I got home, and ate breakfast, talked to my mamma...you get where I am going.  I did do a bit of embroidery while I was waiting for a computer download, decided I needed a nap, and my day was just out of whack.

I did do a bit of sewing.  I am going to blame Dawn at Sew You Quilt 2, she keeps making these cute little kite type blocks, which she has actually turned into a candle mat/mug rug.  Dawn has done one for every month of the year.  So of course I wanted to make one and had to buy the ruler.  I  really needed to do something different just for a short project, and I knew that the ruler was wandering around my sewing room somewhere.

This is what my cutting table looked like after looking for my ruler.  I did get some things put away into their proper places. 

OK I am wondering who has this many rulers?  Really?  And I use all of them, and I know there are a few more playing hide and seek in there somewhere.  Anyway I did find the ruler.

Since St. Patrick's Day is coming, and I was formerly a McDonald, and the youngest daughter's significant other is a McGinn, I thought they could use a little something to decorate for the upcoming holiday. 

The green is Celtic crosses, and the white are shamrocks.  Did this not turn out sweet?!?! I know that I need something for a backing but I was just a wee bit excited with how it turned out, and it only took me about 20 minutes.  I just need a backing but now I know why Dawn loves making these. 

I had a package waiting in the mailbox today,   Dawn sent these to me.  A sweet zipper bag, a pair of pillowcases, a dream catcher, quilt pattern, and planet and galaxy fabric, as well as some candies. Bloggers are such great people and I have some great bloggy friends. 

Maybe tomorrow I will get back on track.
