"...if I woke up nailed to the floor."

Surprised.  That's right, I'm surprised.  I gave myself three goals for the month of March and tonight I finished number two.  No, I didn't come here and report the finish of number one but I have pictures so I can prove it. 

My job right now is insane.  I know what you're thinking, "Shut up and be happy you have a job."  Well, I am not complaining I'm just stating a fact.  I am a contract negotiator and we are converting an entire state from one form of contract to another.  I have been working from 0400 hours to 2230 hours A LOT.  But I'm learning things I could have never learned without this conversion and my boss is great.  BUT, my job is getting in the way of my quilting/knitting/paper embroidery and so on and so forth.  So, I'm sneaking in time in the sewing room here and there. 

I think these wallets came out quite lovely but then again, I haven't slept for a while so maybe I'm just punchy from being tired and they really look like ass.  Should you tell me?  Not if you're standing in front of me.  Be brave from a distance.

So, I finished all the wallets I cut when I was in CA back in December training for this new position.


 And tonight I finished the first block in our, "First Saturday" BOM.  I know, I know, I'm still a block behind but I'm getting there.  Again, brave from a distance...
I know the roof looks smaller than the house but remember when I sew all the blocks together the quarter inch seam allowance will be in full affect.  LOL  Crikey....that means my points are going to be cut off on the right.  Dang it all anyway!  I don't care, I still love it.
