Busy
It’s springtime here in Texas (as it is in much of the world, ba dum dum CHIIIING!), and that means the beginning of flowers, and light, and temperate days where we enjoy being outside for the approximately seven hours of bearable warmth we get every year. Oh, SURE, the weathermen and women are PROMISING a much more livable summer – I’ll believe it when I see it. And if it doesn’t happen, I’m coming after the Austin Weatherpeople for baldface lying to me. You have been warned.
With all of that comes the urge to…quilt? Wait. That can’t be right! I should be outside, soaking up the sun! I most definitely should NOT be putting together a quilt backing for a very large twin sized quilt.
I also should not be trying my hand at free motion quilting on that baby blanket I whipped together from scraps.
And DEAR LORD, WHY AM I NOT OUTSIDE? (That’s the Half Squares Quilt that I pieced a long time ago, and finally quilted and bound. I luff it.)
To be honest, I have managed quite a few hours of hanging around out with the kids. The weather is gorgeous, and luckily none of us suffers too badly from the allergies that seem to affect the rest of Austin so horribly. We’ve made it through our first soccer game
and what felt like a million Easter egg hunts, but was in reality only four.
It’s a busy time for us, but it’s been good busy.
