I was desperate to baste the "Quilt Sandwich" (all three layers) together today, so I can get to the fun part of hand quilting (actually, I'm assuming it's fun--this will be my first time quilting by hand). SIX hours later (yes, six!), the twin quilt was basted. And the problem is--once you start you can't stop until you're done. Ashley took pity on me, sweet girl, and after a couple of hours, she's like, "I want to help." So I showed her and she helped me for a long time.
So, because I've done nothing but quilt for six hours, my house is officially a mess ... laundry hasn't even been started, the kitchen looks like a disaster area, and the living room needs to be decluttered. And it's 10:00 at night. I'm so tired! As I'm looking around at the mess, I'm actually astounded how out of control one small house can get in just a few short hours. I mean, how does this happen??!!
I would show you a picture, but it doesn't look too impressive right now with all the huge basting stitches everywhere (and frankly, I'm just too tired to take a picture and fiddle with it in Photoshop Elements, then post it. And the thought of posting a photo without touching it up a bit makes me go into an anxiety attack--just kidding, kind of).

you can always just email it to me (wink wink!)
I get that way too.. when I'm working on something.. it's usually a mess and we usually get McDonalds :)
If you post a pic, I'll post a pic of my messy bedroom!
At least you were able to complete the task. It would take me forever and a day to do that! What a great accomplishment!
