I opened up a blog post window about 500000000 times in the last year or so. And I didn't end up doing anything but stare at the empty space.
It is hard sometimes to convince yourself that your voice is important.
What do I add to the world? Is it my sense of humor? Because people are killing it with comedy-blogs-gone-books. Hell, some people got twitter accounts turned into television shows. I honestly expected that to be better, by the way.
Do I have the most boring blog in all of blogdom? I feel like it's missing that fanciness everyone else has. Because EVERYONE else has a blog. Hell, last year, one of my fifth graders had a blog, and a few thousand followers. This student smarmily asked me what I could possibly teach him that he didn't already know. Humility? Grace in obscurity?
I feel a little locked in with my url. And I don't feel like stopping the auto-charge and changing it, so from this point on, "sweets" will cover baking, fiber arts, and basically anything at all.
I'm on summer break. I am still not used to having that. It's been far too long, but also, the days are dragging ass. I feel like it's been summer for decades now, and I'm ready to have a purpose again. I have trouble without a goal of some kind. I should totally do a weight goal, but for me weight loss is like some creature from the X-Files. It only happens when I'm not looking directly at it, or actively attempting to do anything about it.
So, in order to update everything that's happened since last I blogged, I shall share this interpretive dance to explain everything:

So, I'm in the midst of a quilting project. Have you ever heard of the double-slice layer cake quilt? I am doing a variation on it using Kate Spain's Aria fabric and A Bella Solid layer cake. I'm killing it. It's going to be beautiful. I have to totally geek out over this fabric line. It just reached out and snagged me at a local quilt store, and I've gone gaga over it. It isn't in the colors I usually favor, and it's nothing if not girly. but, I love the shit out of it.
I mean LOOK:
I can see the envy on your face.
I get it.
I'm also working on a top secret project to give a friend. I can't show you the project, but please scope this amazing fabric:

| Go ahead and click on it. It's just spectacular. |
I'm pretty sure I bought more than I need for the project, so I might also make a cover for a nook or kindle.
Which reminds me that I need to finish my nook cover. I need to go do some sewing and ironing. I'll post when I'm finished. I got the CUTEST pattern at Tea Time Quilting here in Houston. I love that place. If you are local, I can't say enough about it. It seems small, but the owner/operator is super nice, and knowledgeable, and she gets to know her customers. That's where I found the Aria line.
Well, I'm not working on any of my WIPs, if I'm busy chatting around here.
