Hooray for January!

The best thing about the holidays being done is that all the time-eating projects--shopping, cooking, decorating, and gift-making are OVER and once again--hallelujah--a small sliver of my day is m. i. n. e.

Now that the holidays are over, I've thought out priorities on my UFOs. The project with the most screamingly immediate upcoming deadline is the putzy little black and white top-secret block project. But I can only work on that in small doses. I think I'd be running around pulling out my hair if I tried to spend an entire day at a time on that project with its teeny half-square triangles and its wonky angles and measurements. But it's tops on the list right now. I have to make a conscious effort to get those done.

Behind that project in the pecking order is the quilting of my Serendipity, the last bit of binding handsewing on the Honky Tonk quilt (both here). Honky Tonk has been sitting, needing only a bit of finishing for about four months now), the red and white Delectable Mountains, and several other projects in various stages of construction.

I have a couple sets of antique blocks that would be quick table runners if I could only get to them. Really looking forward to playing with those.

And then of course the wedding dress project is sitting politely in the background. We have no firm wedding date yet (waiting for immigration issues to wend their way through red tape-filled bureaucratic mazes of two countries). Once the date is decided, that one will kick into high gear.
