Revised Must-Do List

OK so I've been in a craft-induced frenzy which has since led to a craft-induced coma. I have all this fabric with no immediate purpose, a half-finished baby quilt top, weekender travel bag supplies piled up in a corner, cut-out chef's jacket pattern, and a new Japanese sewing book. I NEED to get it together here folks. Its starting to STRESS me out, and isn't my crafting supposed to promote the opposite effect? (affect?? ugh whatever) So here is the plan, Stan.

1. FINISH quilt top for baby.
2. Cut-out weekender bag pieces (I think this project may best be done in stages)
3. Sew a dress using muslin to get the perfect fit from my new Japanese book.
4. Sew dress from muslin pattern using some fabric lying around here.
5. Use my newly acquired pattern following skills to finish chefs jacket.

OK that's the plan for now. I am hoping that by putting this down I will force myself to follow it. HOPING. really HOPING.

In the meantime check out my friend's blog. No these boys aren't crafty, but they are pretty entertaining in that post-college life way. Let me know what you think!!

Sad Mittens, originally uploaded by Carson.J My friend Scooter "gave" these to me about 4 years ago. I say "gave" because it wasn't like a formal gift exchange, it was more like, I used to always borrow them and he let me keep them. Maybe he doesn't realize he gave them to me but anyway, THANKS SCOOTER!! I've worn them every winter since then, I've tried "patching" them (as you can probably tell) but they are now beyond repair. They have fleece on the inside so they should last to the end of this winter. But I either need someone to direct to a place I can pick up a pair of these (likely in Canada somewhere) or sit me down to help me knit a pair myself (uhhh I prefer option 1). Anyone??

PS did I mention that they are probably my most favorite "gift" ever??
