laundry and sun

[bertine]

i am rather sad that i don't have any more clothes to wash. i really got into the habit of throwing in a load before work everyday. :\

i also think i have way too many clothes now since i'll be doing laundry more often than every 3 to 4 weeks. i think it is time to go forward on my plan to make a quilt out of all my halloween t-shirts and to clean out some of the less favored clothes.


i was out in the sun way too much yesterday. i am sunburnt and so sleepy today. i am trying not to feel guilty about sitting around and watching tv today. maybe i could go through my dresser while lazing about. hmm...

jake & i have far too many t-shirts, so i decided to make a quilt with his old shirts. i haven't made a lot of progress (i got them cut & fused to some muslin for the blocks)... your post made me think i should get back to it.

i'm more excited about the quilt i'd planned for chase - using the pockets of jake's t-shirts! :)

now if i could find some motivation... i have a dress pattern pinned & half cut. i should just finish that, but something more interesting always pops up.

i think i have sewing ADD.

i don't like doing crafts so much, too much "shoulds" for me. i like my hobbies to be things i can't stop doing. however, my mom made a lot of our clothes growing up and reused everything so i have a hard time getting rid of things like still good t-shirts. hence the quilt.

is sewing add like new web project add? i have that problem with web sites, i have so many half finished ones and even more ideas for other ones.

i think sewing add is similar... i have a gazillion patterns (although i've been smart enough to not yet buy fabric), and i have projects in various stages of completion.

jake & i really can't bear to get rid of some of our favorite t-shirts, although we probably won't/can't wear them any longer. we figured the quilt would be a good way to keep them close and useful.

i hope that you didn't do too much today. everyone should have days of just watching tv and napping... and NOT feeling guilty! (i sound like a really bad advice columnist here, my apologies)

that is why i want to make a quilt out of them! i love those t-shirts but i never wear them anymore and i am hoping this will make them useful again. actually i have some pj bottoms that i bought to be baggy when i weighed more and now they are falling off of me that will be perfect for the edge. i love cleaning out my dressers!

i have guilt issues. i try not to but i do!

i did spend the afternoon watching tv and was very happy with it until i got to work and felt guilty for not thinking about work. however, i got over that in an hour or two.
