It’s April 29. I don’t think I’m going to make the April 30 deadline for the projects I wrote about here, but I’m happy to say I’ve finished “prep stage 1” for the T-shirt quilt. I had way more than 9 shirts left to interface, and it definitely takes time.

I brought my ironing board upstairs so I could watch old Schoolhouse Rock videos on You Tube with Ollie while I busted my tail trying to iron as fast as I could. Now I have the Adjective Song in my head. “He was a hairy bear, he was a scary bear, we made a hasty retreat from his lair… and described him with adjectives.” I love that song. Apparently, Ollie does too, he watched it about 10 times in a row.

The wine cork board is in disarray. I didn’t set baselines, and my rows started tilting towards the left. Voices in my head kept saying, “What would Martha (Stewart) do?” Of course, she’d start over, and so did I. I’m insane. As for the baby burp cloths, the fabric and ribbons are all cut. While Ollie took apart the couch after lunch, I ironed and pinned. I still might be able to finish sewing the burp cloths by the weekend.
