Many projects....None Finished Yet! (And asking the Readers)

Well friends, it took me exactly two days to knock one of those scheduling things aside. I've decided that if meditation doesn't get done in my morning in bed routine (when I drink my coke, pray, write, do in bed yoga stretches that I cannot do on the floor and so on) or at my bedtime routine, it probably wont get scheduled. Which means I still need to work in a meditation in one of those times. Or else go out of the house and do it once a week. As for the knitting while learning, that's still a goal, just not an exact time goal. The morning writing and evening writing? Right on. The walking? No problem. But then of course it's not scheduled!!

In other news, I'm moving back to twice a week posting on Monday/Tuesday and Thursday/Friday. Wednesday is my out and about and go to happy hour day, so if I add a third post it will be more of a "What I'm...." kind of post with a few lines and a photo or two.

If you ever needed proof that I am a "dabbler" or a "putterer",  question no more. As I just posted on Facebook, I have six (maybe seven?) current active projects.  All mid stream. None of these are UFOs (Unfinished Objects to the uninitiated) they are all being worked on-at different times, in different places, with different energy, depending.

What are they?

1. The blanket shown in this previous post, which will be blue, with red (and I haven't decided on white or green as the third color) stripes. Christmas gift for brother and sister-in-law.  

2.  A shawl, showed previously, yarn purchased by  my sister and pattern chosen by me. Christmas gift.

3.  A t-shirt quilt for my daughter. Partially made when I decided that a. I didn't like the color I chose for the sashing and that I would rather have two alternate colors and b. I wanted a better layout. So I am now separating the shirts from the fabric around. Maybe a Christmas gift?

4. A couple of holiday table runners. This one is not as bad as it sounds cause both runners have been quilted-they just need binding and I tend to wait until I have a few to bind because that is my least.favorite.thing about quilting. Donations for the church bazaar.  

5. The basic outline, chapters and tentative recipes I want to include in my Beautiful Gifts Anyone Can Make book (Title still in progress). I'm treating each small section of the book a project instead of the entire book as one.

6.  Felted wool coasters (again, not a tragedy as such, I do the cutting when I have the energy and then I will sew all at once). Some to gift, some for me, right now it's playtime. 

7. That oldey timey traditional quilt that was for my brother and is so very late-because I decided just as I was quilting it that the border was an absolute no! A very late Christmas gift that has to be done by Thanksgiving (and no more unfinished product gifting.).

Except for the quilt nothing is over due, all will be done in their time (mainly for Christmas) except perhaps the Tshirt quilt. I do what moves my on any given day and hope it works out (and occasionally panic around Thanksgiving).

Yesterday I worked on the large blanket, today I am playing with felt, will maybe knit some more and tomorrow I may watch some football while mindlessly undoing the Tshirt quilt. 

All of these will each get worked on at some point next week. In between my baking (coffee cake mini muffins), slow cooking (the Maple Bacon Chili on the sidebar), reading, brunch with the gals, coffee meeting with my medical broker, exercise, reading, And reading. And at some point I suppose, some dishes will be washed, a vaccum will be run and a bathroom will be swiped and mopped (Yes,all you housekeepr, I see that dust bunny under the chair types, I see you all cringing).  

Oh, and I'm at an impasse with my TV watching. I tried a South African detective show (Capetown), a Russian Detective show (Second Sight), and the British show Unforgotten, and I haven't stuck with any.  The Brit show is especially surprising since I love Nicola Walker. I'm open to suggestions-but realize I am less of a Midsommer Murder type than I am a Luther, Secret City, Line of Duty type of watcher. And I don't mind subtitles.

Hit me??!!
