Unfortunately Tied

So...

I have about a ba-zillion things I want to make. Current obsession: bags.

My friend Alyssa and I meet together on Thursday and pray for our husbands (each week going through a chapter in The Power of a Praying Wife). And of course we gab about other things (one being her highly energetic two and a half year old that I love babysitting!), and tonight we talked about scrapbooking...oh yah, I should probably finish mine at some point...

I also want to make at least two more of the little owl pincushion I created as gifts...

And I would really like to make myself some sort of clothes in the semi-near future...

But right now I really need to stick through and finish our friends quilt in time for the wedding! Time is ticking and every time she counts down on facebook I have a mini panic attack. :P

However, in my dreaming I have decided that this is the bag I am going to make when I have lovingly finished this beautiful quilt!:

Find her wonderful tutorial here. I'm not normally a total bright color freak (my mom tells me I look great in bright colors so I do try to, but I like black and grey and blue generally...), but I'm picturing this in orange! Orange of all colors. Not sure why. Probably because then I'd have to buy new fabric instead of take something from my stash...

  1. What does this title mean?

    (hey--I scored a mention in parentheses on here!! yahoo!)

    btw, bags are accessories and fashion pros are always saying you should have eye-popping accessories, so an orange bag sounds tres chic!

    1. Yes, that quilt is for the wedding we are going to when we will be stoping by. :) I will bring it unwrapped for your viewing pleasure! And probably Nana's as well. :)

      And the title referred to the fact that I can't stop working on the wedding quilt to do all the other things I have planned because of my deadline! That is why most of my quilts take longer...I get distracted working on other things. :) a deadline keeps me tied to one project.
