Mark All Read

I devoted the afternoon and some of the evening to catching up on blogs. I neglected my blog reading while I was visiting my Mom and I never caught up. I'm thrilled to say I just logged out of Bloglines, having clicked on the "Mark All Read" button...completely unnecessary, as they were in fact all read. But I clicked it anyway, just because.

On Friday I went to a few fabric stores in MO and came home with treasures. I bought an Olfa cutting set with 2 rotary cutters and a mat, 2 bottles of craft paint, a stack of fabric in various colors and pins for pinkeeps. I didn't spend much money, thanks to coupons and clearance prices. Today I laundered, trimmed and ironed the fabric, inbetween blogs. Who could ask for more fun than that?

I haven't stitched much this weekend. I've been working on the Spring Soapbox and for some reason it is slow going. The fabric is very difficult to stitch on and I am taking my time. Somehow I got started railroading my stitches on this project too (something I'm too lazy to do all the time) and that is making things go a bit slower. I'm within a row or two of being half done with this project.

I was supposed to go to Mom & Me today but alas my stitching buddy Ginger was unable to go as we had planned. I am going to go alone tomorrow, simply because I can not wait until next weekend to get my greedy hands on the JCS Ornament magazine! Ginger offered to let me look at her copy last night, but I just couldn't do it. I need my own copy, a tall cup of joe and plenty of quiet time in order to really enjoy it.

Tomorrow is Move It Out Monday and I have a stack of projects ready to go. I'll either start several tomorrow or spread it out over several days. I'm ready for a few new starts!

I've seriously neglected Mark today and completely missed football. If I hurry I can catch the highlights on the late local news.

Get your hands on the magazine & we will talk. Maybe this year you might even STITCH up a couple LOL.

Sounds like you are going to be busy with your new gadgets, paints & fabrics. What fun.

I didn't get any stitching done ... but, enjoyed every second of my week-end.

Today, I hope to get some light housework out of the way & work on my DT gameboard sampler [you know, the one you have in your stash!].

While your MIOM is for new projects -- my MIOM is for WIPs! I'd really like to slim down that list.

I finished reading Jan Karon's last book in her series & think I'm ready for stitching today.

So with these MIOM projects, are you having as many finishes as starts? I'm curious about how it's all working.
