Relaxing Sunday (uh, Monday)

Not that I don't appreciate a holiday, but it really does play havoc with my inner clock - even just the one added day this weekend.  I guess I tend to think I have extra time, so I can get a LOT of extra things done.  Wrong!!!  

And of course with the cold front coming in Saturday and our temps dropping to a nice Autumn-like range, I felt invigorated - invincible - insane.  I was a whirlwind of activity and ideas Saturday (and, yes, even Sunday since it also felt like Saturday with being off Monday).  I became a crazy woman thinking about all the Fall projects I would like to do (and all the handmade Christmas gifts I could make - but I will save that for another blog). 

Whooooaaaa!!!  Put on the brakes, put the car in park and turn off the ignition.  I do this every year, and THIS year is supposed to be different. So, I made a thoughful, much-less-than-previous-years LIST for my Fall projects, and even PRIORITIZED them, because I just can't do it all.  (Quick, get the smelling salts for my hubby!  OK - he came to, but is wondering who I am and what I did with his wife.)

So just to prove it to you (and me!!!) - here is a sneak peak at my list and pics of the two patterns for the quilt projects at the top of my list...

So, you can see that even though I am SIMPLIFYING my life, I still have my work cut out for me.  However, I will get done what I get done and not worry about the rest (oops, my hubby just passed out again).

Off to some relaxing hand stitching as usual on a Sunday (uh, I mean Monday) night...
Blessings,
