done ... done done done

done...
all of the crayon wallets are done
phew...
and they are packed into their reusable treat bags
there's another box just like this one - they barely fit in the car, lemmetellya...
along with some other puppy/dog-themed stuff 
and delivered to little miss k who will be six in june 
to give to her kindergarten classmates and siblings and friends
and i was done two months early
which is pretty much unheard of around here...

also done...
asking a quilter to mend is like asking Van Gogh to paint the kitchen
LuLu's long-sleeved shirt which seems to be worn to shreds well-loved - i'm just sayin' is now a short-sleeved shirt
four lemon microwave-a-bowls
four sunflower microwave-a-bowls
two sunflower coasters
the moon tree skirt trimmed to a circle from a square
binding machine-sewn onto quilted things that will join the ever-growing pile of quilted things that need binding hand-stitched down...
the front and back lawns are raked and ready for the aerator except for what's left of the five inches of snow that fell tuesday...
and some of the house appears to be clean tidy enough...

 now i can get back to what i wanta do 
instead of what i oughta do...
till guilt kicks in again...

I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven't done.

thirty something...

i worked on those eighteen snowflakes for weeks and weeks... 
and i just wanted to FINISH something...
and i didn't know what the heck it was or whether it would work...
 i LURVE these things!!!
so i made one...
did someone say grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup?!?
and then made thirty something more... 

nine have already found new homes
a microwave-a-bowl holder
works for a hot bowl - no burned fingers... 
works for a cold bowl - no frozen fingers... 
and if you want to get creative...
very funny, LuLu and Super Sam - now get those off your heads!!!
you can use it for headgear ... not recommended unless you are a goofball!!!

links to tutorials are here and here and here
just in case you decide to drink the Kool Aid...
