Distractions, Accidents, and Sickness...

So, I've been procrastinating lately... The baby sampler has been sitting there, about 7/10's done... I've been glaring at it... It needs to be done... I know it needs to be done... I have many other things that I wish I could do before finishing it though... There are no pictures of this at the moment...

Lately, I've been plotting my annual foray into carving... Yup... It's Hallowe'en pumpkin carving time... There's so much out there, and I can't wait until I actually get to carve my pieces... Pieces, plural... I've been making two disposable artworks a year lately... Pictures will follow once they're carved... At the very end of the month, that is... First I have to choose my pumpkins... That's an art in itself...

I've been sick with a cold for the past few days... My co-workers have been avoiding me like the plague, or cringing when I sneeze near them... Hopefully it will pass soon... I am feeling better... I just have a hacking cough now, with none of the phlem that I've been producing lately...

Friday night, I took a flying leap at work (read... I tripped over a chair and fell on boxes), and landed on my arm... Nothing hurt but my pride really... Well, I have a carpet burn on my arm and an evil looking bruise, and I was a little stiff and sore for the following two days, but am generally okay now... WSIB was informed, just in case something crops up later... Doubt it will... Two seconds after I made an ass out of my questionable walking ability, I was cracking up laughing at myself...

Baby Samplers Are Boring...

Clouds and Balloons and Bears... Oh My! Seriously... I am bored with this... I can't wait until it's over, which should hopefully be this weekend... (The bear on the yellow balloon is cute though)... Then all I have to do is wait for the rug-rat to be spawned and do the details...

Then onto my other Christmas project... Then the purple flower for mum... Then, finally something for me! I have no idea what it'll be, but I promise it'll be something damn cool, peeps!

Done Like Dinner...

Finished today! It looks very pretty, if I do say so myself... The cabin looks warm and inviting, and the birds are cute...

Next on the schedule... A friend is having a baby on the 25th (or so they think), so I need to motor through a birth announcement... I was at the baby shower for her yesterday... She is an avid cross-stitcher... So is one of her friends who is now my friend as of the first friend's wedding... We three had some lovely conversation regarding our craft... It was nice talking about needle and thread and not boring someone... Also, another friend is getting married in October, so I might do something for her... I was at her Stag & Doe yesterday, getting drunk off of cheap wine and smoking cheap cigarettes... Okay, not really with the wine and the smokes... But it makes an amusing thought for me... Yesterday was a busy day, with the many of social gatherings...

Which begs the question, really, of when am I supposed to have time for my other Chrismas project? *Pulling hair out in frustration*...
