distraction...

oh man oh man...can I just say...can I just say that I'm a person who is very easily distracted...and it is pretty obvious if you take a look at my sewing table these days...here is what I'm currently facing (all "arranged" nicely in one section of my table...they were all gathered up from where they had been scattered between different locations on the table and ironing board):

don't you love my crayon-esque circles?

first up...my Tumbler quilt (using my Accuquilt Go):

I've gotten a few rows sewn...and a nice stack of tumblers ready to go...but they sit for now...because I was so easily distracted once I was able to get some Pellon Featherweight and work on this T-shirt quilt:

5 squares have their "borders" on...and another 4 to go...and then they will likely sit for a bit...because I was then distracted by these:

the HST remnants from piecing together all of my Terrain Swoon blocks...which were my leaders and enders for awhile with both the Swoon and the start of the Tumbler rows...that I intend to get sewn into some pinwheel blocks...

speaking of...the Terrain Swoon quilt top is still not pieced together because I was distracted by the Tumbler quilt....my circle of distraction is now complete.

Maybe I'll get one of these things done this weekend...or I'll be further distracted...right now I'm completely distracted by the idea of this fabric...and if I can live without it for a little while longer...or if it's a "must" ASAP...and then of course I'm only mildly distracted anticipating the arrival of this BOM (still a few weeks away)...

I need help!  LOL!

An amazing Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day all!  I'm having the most amazing Mother's Day (that pretty much started a few days early!).

My Mother's Day started on Thursday when Girl gifted me with the oh so fabulous Thor Bobble-head doll!  (I have a thing for Thor...he's pretty!)  I was in desperate need of a good laugh that day...and she provided it!  It now sits on my desk at work...so I have no picture to share...

Then Mother's Day shifted to Friday...when Guy and I got to go out to a movie...and then do some shopping together!  (well...I shopped...he carried)...and here is what I shopped for...and he gifted me with for Mother's Day:

AH-MAH-ZING!!!  Can I just say how lucky a gal I am to have such a fabulous hubby!  More on this toy later...

On Saturday...my Mom got to come up and visit for the day...so me, Girl and Mom had a blast...started out with a trip to the Nail Salon and mani/pedi's all around...from there it was off to lunch (Buffalo Wild Wings so we could play some Buzztime Trivia)...and then it was time to do some shopping!  After a bit of time at the mall...we headed back to the house to relax and chat for a bit before Mom had to head home.  It was a fantabulous day!

On Saturday night...got to really spend some time playing with the Accuquilt Go and the 6.5" Tumbler die...and here is what I ended up with after only a short period of time:

And this morning...my Girl is the bestest kiddo on the whole planet...she gifted me with some quilting magazines and a Bon Jovi greatest hits CD (I use CDs in my car instead of messing with the iPod)!  So today...I'm going to do lots of sewing...go cruising around with Girl so we can blast some 80's hair band music...and then I'm going to cook some kind of fun and yummy meal for my oh so AMAZING family!  And play with these goodies in between:

Hope you all are having a fantastic weekend! I'll be back later this week to give you a thorough review of my Accuquilt Go!
