March 1: Lion or Lamb?

Today I am thinking LAMB, but we are negative 19 inches of snow at this point for the winter and we have been in a drought, so we could using the roaring!!!!!

Spring break officially began at 3:50 pm yesterday.  When I walked in from class, my book bag went upstairs and I went directly to my studio. I had a commission to replace a photo in a quilt and this was the week to do it.  I was a bit nervous when I started, picking, but in less than 3 hours of actual work time, I had it completed.  Would show you but it is a very personal quilt.  I am still amazed how well the replacement fit in.  Love it when a plan comes together.

Plan to do some type of quilting every day for the next 10 days, but it might only be an hour of something.  If I did that much in one day, I could probably complete several projects, but when I stop and start I tend to do more dreaming.  Today I am going to do some hand sewing in the car, so I might get more than an hour.  However, three hours of a car ride also includes the usual dozing and all that other stuff.  If we arrive home early enough, I will do the machine seam on the next row so I will have hand work for tomorrow night.  Then I will be binding Dad's experimental quilt blocks together.  (Not a work of art, but a good resource for large open areas with his embroidered blocks.)

I am planning to make this a week with no more that 3 hours of computer time a day.  It will be odd considering that many days during the semester I would have to admit to spending from 7:15  to 4:00 on the computer, except when walking between classes and at break time. Friday I spend about 4 hours doing business and personal work on the computer in the office.   Then at least 2 nights during the week I go from 7-10, and then there is that homework that spills into one of the weekend days, as well.  - Not much of the time is spent blogging or on Facebook, but those things are relaxing, so I could easily get sucked into them if I did not monitor my time.

Time to get cracking because even on break there is work and activities afoot.
