catch up weekend
The weekend is upon me. And I am behind on things! So it is time to catch up. And I have a strategy! I am doing start with a little list of the things that I need to do this weekend here on my blog. Just as Krisitina did on a post a while ago, I will check things off with photos as I complete them. The other part of my strategy is renegotiating my contracts. My work offers Getting Things Done training by the David Allen company and I did that a couple of years ago. One of the things that they teach is to renegotiate contracts. So I am using that in some cases. So here is my list…
- A Piece of Work B October block Look at me go! I already have 2 blocks done! Ok- I actually only made the first one today. The other one has been done for a little while. But now they are ready to mail! I used up every last scrap that Jennie sent for these!


- A Piece of Work B November block
- Bee Addicted October block (picture coming soon)
- Block #1 for Lorrin (and me!) (picture coming soon)
- Block #2 for Lorrin (and me!) (picture coming soon!)
- Order fabric for my mom’s Christmas Quilt (I renegotiated again and have some updates on this one)
- Choose polka dot fabric for Little Helper’s birthday dress (any suggestions??).
- MAIL ALL BLOCKS!!
Now I think that should be enough for now! I am renegotiating a couple of contracts with myself. The first- and biggest- is the advent calendar I wanted to do. I really wanted to have it done for this year and I haven’t completely figured out what I want. So, I think that I will wait until after Christmas (all the holiday fabric will be on sale then) and pick some up. And then I will make if for next year. Little Helper won’t know the difference. And since I want it to be something that we keep for years, this is probably the better way to do it. I know that I renegotiated another, but I forget what it was. And it isn’t in my to do list anymore, so I guess I did a good job of renegotiating it!
I just looked at my list- that is a lot of blocks! And I don’t even know what I am going to do for most of them…

I thought that we already had fabric for mom’s quilt? Are you making her a second one or are you thinking binding and backing? Or adding in random other fabrics that I don’t know about.
