Restraint

I can’t tell you how many times I have almost hopped in my car to head over to the quilt store to pick up some Flea Market Fancy.  I can’t wait to make myself a quilt out of this cool fabric.  For so many years now I have been making quilts for my kids and it finally dawned on me this year right around my birthday that maybe I could make a quilt for say…..ME!  The Amy Butler quilt was the result.  Now I am itching to make more.  I have promised myself that I can only start a new project like that when I am all caught up on orders.  So far that hasn’t happened, which I guess is a good thing- I like getting more orders 🙂

It is Friday and the house is winding down.  One boy is sleeping at a friends house, one boy is already asleep, and one boy is laying beside me reading Magic Tree House with his dad.  Peaceful after the last couple of hard days we have had.  A combination of too many activities and not enough sleep.  Summer is hard that way and easy that way.

I read such a great post on a cool blog today.  Funny how something written when I was just a baby can still be so insightful today.  Perfect timing too.
