Some Words

I finished up the words on Garden Girl today. I worked on it while listening to a new book. "The Right Attitude to Rain" by Alexander McCall Smith. I love these Isabel Dalhousie books. It makes me want to move to Edinburgh, or at least visit. I checked ticket prices, they're over $1000. I won't be going anytime soon. :) Here is my progress on Garden Girl...

CCN Garden Girl as of 2/26/08

Well, I just can't keep track of my hours while stitching. I'm always jumping up to get the kids something, or I will think of something I need to check online, or dh will call. It's just impossible. So I was thinking about going back to a daily rotation, but one day just isn't enough. It's too fast, you don't get to concentrate on one thing long enough. So I was thinking about a two day rotation. That would be about five hours for me. Give or take an hour or two depending on the day. So I made up a daily rotation sheet. Here's a link to download if anyone is interested...

Well, I'd better get to sleep. I haven't been getting up as early as I would like lately. The snooze button and I are way too familiar. Poor Matthew every time it goes off he stands up in his crib and then when I shut it off he lays back down and this is repeated for about 30 minutes until I finally get up. I must try to get up when it goes off the first time! I wish I could be one of those people that get up at five before anyone else - I guess I'm more of a night owl. Anyway, off to bed! Write later! :)

  1. Ha - Zack is so like that too! The alarm will sound and I will hear Zack stir from the noise of it. I settle back in the bed awhile and then all's quiet again and he'll sleep about 20 more minutes. I am a night owl but do love those mornings - it's nice when you can get up early because you can get a lot done. However, that said - it's tough for me. It does happen but then by 2PM, I collapse!

  4. Once a night owl, always a night owl. I had a early bird friend stay with me once. She asked me when I got up and I said, "Noon." She really didn't believe me. But there she was up between 5 am and 6 am and ready for bed by 9 pm. Heck, it's almost 10 pm now and I haven't even eaten dinner yet.

    Nice stitching.

  5. I can't do the timed thing either, I am too easily distracted :-). Love your progress on the garden piece.

  10. So pretty! I am getting way too familiar with the snooze button too - that's a hard habit to break!
