I've challenged myself to stick to the timer game today. I set the timer to 20 minutes. Started with one kitchen project, was almost finished when the timer went off, so I stuck to it. That cannot work in the sewing room, only the kitchen. I know me, I will forget the timer isn't running and I will have been sewing for an hour or so.
I've sewn a few foursies. I had to, I needed to see if I like it. 18 blocks done, 92 to go. I decided to make it 80 x 88. After all the foursies are sewn together, I'll count up the extras and maybe I'll have enough to make it larger. Right now, I have no idea where I am. So I'll just sew a bunch, press them pinwheel style--you know where all the seams spin one direction--pin them into groups of 11 until I have 10 sets. Then take it from there.
But now I need to tackle that pan cabinet and the spice cabinet and see if I can do both in 20 minutes.....
Oh and during my sewing time, I'm listening to a really good book. I don't know if that's a good thing or not, it makes the time go by really fast. I'm so easily entertained, it's almost scary.

I like to have a DVR show going or a Hallmark Movie while I'm sewing. I'd have to really crank up the Country Music to work in the cleaning department...LOL DH asked me what I was going to do today- I said DUH!!! Quilt!
Easily entertained is great! Your blocks look great too! Have a great weekend!
Blocks are looking great, you are very dedicated to leave them for cleaning, it is nice when everything is tidy though.
You are more disciplined than I am. The cleaning waits while I sew away on my new string project. Your Ultimate Scraps are looking great. Can hardly wait to see it put together!
I just ran across your blog today and really enjoyed my visit. I've added you to my blog reader list so that I can keep updated on what your making. Love your pillows by the way. : )
Ooooo......those scrap blocks are FUN!!
Those are great scrappy blocks. Don't know how you tore yourself away to (gack) clean the kitchen! I guess I'd better do mine tomorrow - it's either that, or move.
I just cleaned out the spice cabinet a couple of weeks ago....it was scary! What book are you listening too?
Hey Judy, I have a timer...wanna come to my kitchen
