Squeezing things in!

Do you remember the time when you could get up, start a project and not stop until it was finished!  Perhaps you can still do this but for me (and many others I suspect) such a luxury is a dim and distant memory of the time I like to call BC (before children)!  Now it is all about what can I manage to squeeze in and when.  Sometimes I find this so frustrating that I just don't start, as at the back of my mind is the thought that soon I will have to stop and when (if ever) will I get back to it. Or I do all the routine and mundane stuff, and run out of time for the fun stuff.

Now today could have been one of those days, but I was determined to do something creative. So in between the school run, a spot of hoovering, a load of washing, emptying and reloading the dishwasher and some homework helping, I started a small quilting project.  You can see the details here at Saints and Pinners - one of my fave fabric stores.  I have had the fabric to do this for some time (no I'm not confessing how long)  all pre washed and ready to go.  It is a very simple project which apparently can be "whipped up in a day" - their words not mine.  Anyway I managed to piece together the top.

I am hoping to get some more done later in the week and will keep you updated.

PS thank you for all those who popped by and wished me well.  After a good rest yesterday and keeping myself topped up with lemsip I am feeling much better.
