RETIREMENT: EVERY DAY IS THE WEEKEND!

        I am now officially retired! Not really sure what I should do now that I don't go to work every day. I have decided to make at least one tangible goal for each day. I have what seems like an unlimited number of UFO's so for now I am trying to accomplish SOMETHING every day.  I know I will never use up all this fabric but I plan to finish up all the UFO blocks and make tops. I figure if those are left behind someone will finish them and donate to charity. But a ziploc full of pieces will just get tossed. Note to self---good luck with that.  So for now I am reaching into the UFO tote and pulling out a bag and off I go. I am determined not to start anything brand new until each bag is used up. At this point they all seem like new projects. Some of them are years old! Off I go! So far I have 2 tops & backs on the pressing pile. Pretty good for a week!

    Well, I am now officially 2 weeks in and have managed to finish 2 bindings! This week has been probably the best weather week ever and I have discovered my front porch! I have never used it before because it was so nasty and the sun shines on it all day long. But my porch was recently replaced and the sun angle is better so I have loved sitting out there in my comfy chair with my bindings or my knitting. Pretty nice! 

I Need the Binding Fairies!

          Help! I have a problem! I am finishing UFO's faster than I can actually FINISH them. I really don't enjoy binding...or, let me correct that, I really don't mind binding IF I have a comfortable place to sit with lots of light. I can do it if I sit in front of the window on a sunny day in the moderately comfortable chair. I can handle it for about a half hour then I'm done.  The combo of poor eyesight, bad light, and uncomfortable chair is a bit much!

          I have a dream of a binding fairy showing up and magically finishing them up. Isn't she pretty? And so handy? I'll call her Bindi. Ok, now I'm just plain losing it!

I would even trade chores with another quilter. I'd rather square up hundreds of blocks. I'd rather press a mountain of pieces (not in the summer). I'd rather cut hundreds of strips out of a pile of scraps. Really!

They're taunting me!
