P is for Pressure

November 29, 2011 Leave a Comment

It’s that time of year again. The prrrressssure is building. And I have no one to blame but myself. Here’s my mile-long holiday to-do list that seems to be growing by the day:

  • Finish huge 2012 block of the month project, meet with partners to finalize Dec 19 (it’s exciting! I’ll keep you posted!)
  • Quilt & bind 2 last quilts for Holiday Handmade craft fair next weekend
  • Tag, price, and come up with attractive display for craft fair table
  • Create and post new Moda Bake Shop recipe by mid Dec.
  • Design & assemble take & make embroidery project for Craftsy Meet-Up Party
  • Make & mail modern quilt guild partner’s swap block
  • Make gift for Secret Santa exchange at the shop this week
  • Make & ship gift for Twitter Secret Santa exchange this week
  • Make/buy & ship gifts for husband’s family’s Secret Santa gift exchange (probably at the last minute)
  • Make/buy gifts for my family’s Secret Santa gift exchange (even more at the last minute)
  • Make gifts for other special friends, including an unmentionable knitted object that goes around the unmentionable neck of the unmentionable person I’m married to
  • Start working on my new quilt-along launching in February (at this rate it will be July!)
  • Rip my hair out
  • Start drinking triple espressos

At this very moment, as I sit her typing and zoning out on my glowing screen, I should be working on conquering some of this, but I’m paralyzed in project overload. Have you been there? I can’t complain. I signed up for all of this. Yes I did. Why? Because I’m nuts. I like to stay busy, and I find it hard to say no, but this is just ridiculous.

Dare I post without a pic??

Oh wait, here’s something fun. A special little treat courtesy of Nora with an N.

And while she puts together a fun little tutorial for you on ketchup soup, I’ll be installing this on the refrigerator door.

Night all!
