When I got back from my holiday I switched on my computer to check my emails- not the 'sewing' one that you use, dear reader, but my 'every day' one - the one that everyone else uses, including of course those people offering me jobs; degrees; an extension to a body part I don't have; a gazillion dollars to launder some money for them, etc.
Well I looked at the total number of unread messages, (not much change from 3000!) and simply closed the email programme, I was not in the mood to even see if there is anything important there!
Today I didn't even open the emails, instead I opened Audible and went back to cutting squares from picture fabrics listening to The Help (Yes, Miss Jennifer, I am certainly thinking in a Southern accent, and I am loving this book!).
However I have come to the realisation that is a delaying tactic - this revaluation came to me when I counted up and realised that in the last two evenings I have cut enough blocks to make fourteen 26 block quilt tops, in addition to a fair number of 8x4 inch blocks for the brick hand sewing top, and a good number of 5" blocks to add to the Japanese charm squares when they come.
Time to stop procrastinating, and check those emails,
sigh,
Well, maybe tomorrow?
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
LOL! Aren't there some triangles you could cut!
ReplyDeleteYou my have won a lottery you never even entered, how can you resist checking!?
ReplyDeleteYou have got your priorities right. Sounds as if most of the e-mails can just be deleted! So carry on enjoying your fabrics. xxx
ReplyDeleteReady, steady, go!
ReplyDeletePS, sort by sender, it's quicker to weed out the crap from your friends!
I think I would be so overwhelmed by all that mail. Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteStart sorting think how good you will feel when it is done.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. I am just starting a new quilt, and while it is pretty, the blocks are so monotonous that I am not enjoying it and keep going off to do something else! : )
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you have some very exciting fabrics there. I think Katie's idea to sort emails by sender is great. I didn't know it was possible.
