Sunday's are the hardest

Sundays are always hard for me. Mainly because 10:00 sneaks up on me so quickly and that is when I remember everything I wanted to get done over the weekend and everything that has to been done before my week can start back up. Going back to work on Monday's is also hard. It's not the actual work, it's just the waking up and feeling motivated.

But here we are again and it's Sunday night and i haven't gotten everything accomplished that I wanted to. I did a lot though, and I suppose that counts for something.

We finished painting the kitchen. We have started getting things put back in order. I just did 30 minutes worth of dishes to get caught up from the week we couldn't do them (we've been eating out a lot).

Today we went to an Indianapolis Indians baseball game. It was a lot of fun, but we were gone from noon until after 6. I fixed pancakes and sausage links for dinner. It was kind of a throw together meal because I haven't thawed any meat in a week. Today I got out hamburger, a pork roast and a pizza crust for next week. We are not getting dinner to go again.

When I got home tonight I started a quilt for my friend Ashley's baby. She's due in late October with a little boy. I am attempting my first shadow quilt. I recently found a book called the Weekend Quilter. I figure anything in there ought to be easy enough for me. It make take me longer than a weekend, but I can do it.

Yesterday I washed and dried the material. Today I pressed it all, and started cutting. The shadows and boarder are going to be bright blue. I have got that cut out. The triangles will be composed of the many colored polka dotted fabric, and the back will be the soft blue polka dotted fabric.

I really wanted to make it boyish, but also make it baby neutral. I hate things that are too gender specific, only because it seems everything for little boys is blue and everything for little girls is pink. I'm a huge fan of the green and yellow.
