#too much time on my hands

Person: hey, why are you awake?? Go to sleep??
Me: I can’t sleep because I have too much free time. I don’t do anything all day, so I’m never tired. I wake up tired, but by the time I’ve spent all day doing nothing, its 1:00 in the morning and I still can’t sleep.

Slowly making progress on Bobbin’ on the Beach (will be called “Bobbin’s Beach” for QuiltFest, but I’m changing the name afterwards to “Vacation State of Mind”).

It seems like the cats are going out of their way to help, which really slows things down. Then there’s my erratic work schedule. I often come home and am able to just squeeze in an hour or so of quilting after dinner.

One night all I did was quilt around this shell and sand combo and detail stitch the bowl and umbrella (though I still need to stitch around the letters).

Another night was in inventory so I was at work until 6 am. I had the next day off, but was way too exhausted to try any free motion quilting. Instead I visited a couple of quilt shops in search of the perfect binding and fabric for a beach ball.

As tired as I was, I’m a little surprised the beach ball came out so well.

Still, slow progress is still progress. And I have time off coming up to finish this. Of course, we also now have a tropical storm/hurricane on it’s way to Florida. Should make for an interesting weekend.
