keep on moving, don't stop

Quite a while back I put together a couple of board book projects for C&T Publishing that were supposed to be featured in a how-to book. It takes so long for these things to come to fruition that I'd pretty much forgotten about it until I stumbled upon this. See the bottom book on the left? Blue sky, tree of buttons, a little Maisey? That's mine! I haven't seen it in person yet, but judging from its cover, I'd say it has to be fabulous (no bias there).

I'm making progress on my to do list, too. Well, it feels like I'm making progress until I actually look at the list. I realized later that I forgot something pretty big that happens to have an upcoming deadline. I'm a part of a 12 Days of Christmas swap with some other mixed media artists (12 girls, 12 gifts, one for each of the 12 days of xmas) and my gifts are due to be sent out this weekend. But, sorry, you'll have to wait until xmas to see them--no peeking allowed. Thankfully, though, I can cross off two things off my list so I'm still ahead.

Patchwork bags completed and mailed off--check.

Entry in Jane's Alphabetica journal, completed and mailed off--check.

Every time I open the oven I curse having lost my pot holders so they will be first on my list to do next--after the xmas gifties. More on those later. Even though it is Sunday, I've been working my butt off cleaning house and catching up on laundry today. It actually feels pretty good. But now I'm ready to be off to bed with a little Sudoku and maybe some light reading. Nighty-night.

another beautiful bag. i was at an art show this weekend, and saw an artist making similar bags, but no where as good as yours. she just didn't have your great taste in fabric-mixing!!
congrats on another book. yay!
