Procrastination

Yes, that's how I spent most of yesterday. However, the traditional Quilt is put together. I'll get it quilted sometime in the next couple of months. So today I can play with my scraps. I'm not sure what will happen but I have an idea for a large purse/tote bag in my brain. If it works out, I may make two or three to offer for sale over the next few months. I played with numbers yesterday. I very much want to go to a retreat in just outside Edmonton next fall, and our arrangement is that I find the money somewhere other than in our household budget. I've managed to do this through sales etc, but I'm concerned about making much at these sales this year, given the economic climate. Last year I usually made just over expenses, so it was touch'n'go to find the money for my trip to BC. So starting now, anything I make with my work is going to get put away. I've been quite casual about this in the past, so this will be difficult for me. I got a small ( read "small")cheque from Wilno this week, and made my first deposit into the special "Travel" account.

I've had two "Call For Entry" notices arrive in the past few days. I wasn't going to worry about this sort of thing, but these more or less fell into my lap, and I just happen to have pieces that would be suitable for them. So I think I'm going to go for it.
