I chose Wednesday, December 7th. Husband out of town, all quiet at home. So I worked - ironing, cutting, sewing, ironing... BONUS! I had my favorite old movies playing in the background. I had a sandwich for lunch, don't remember what time that was (isn't it great when what you're doing has your complete attention?). Around 8:30 p.m. I got hungry again and wandered into the kitchen. I started planning my post to describe all the gifts I was making (yes, both of them) and then it dawned on me.

I walked back into the kitchen glanced at my calendar and noticed "MAKE, BAKE & CREATE @ SHERRI'S 6:30." I had just missed out on one of my favorite parties of the year. A gathering of friends to celebrate the season, catch up on each others' lives and have fun. We even raise money for charity by auctioning off items we've made, baked, created or bought. This group of friends is special, we've done it for years, it's probably our silliest night of the year and I missed it.
2012 will be my year to get more organized. Or maybe it's the year I'll put everything on the calendar in my phone and just have it chiming away to remind me when to get up, when to go to bed and what I should be doing in between those activities.
Thanks to Barbara at Cat Patches - for encouraging and inspiring me to make more time to quilt.
And to my friends at OLC Circle - I love you all. Sorry about missing the party, I hope to see you in May.

you certainly got involved in the quilting. sorry you missed your party!
I hate it when I do goofy things like that. On one hand you missed a great time, on the other you had a great movie and quality time in your sewing room. Not sure just how the scale tips with that!!
I hope you'll come back after Christmas and show us the whole thing! I'm so glad you joined us.
Oh this was hilarious! I so identify. There is nothing better than creating something and especially when your all alone!!!! The old movies cracked me up, but missing the party was just too close to home! I agree 2012 will be the year to get organized!!! Thank-you for dropping by my blog!

See you in May???? What about those 5 months between now and May???
That has happened to me a coupple of times, too!...I get carried away when I'm sewing! It's a pity you misssed the party, but you'll catch up, don't worry. Thanks for your nice comment on my blog.
I remember having a sewing room (very fond memories too) and then I got a grandson and he got the sewing room. Now sewing is crammed here and there and everywhere. Hope you got your frames touched up.
How fun to just take the whole day to enjoy yourself with what you love doing and being creative at the same time!
You obviously enjoyed your quilting very much to miss not only your meal but also a special evening out. The colours look good.
