It's Done

It is never too late to be what you might have been.
-George Eliot
I've forgotten what a day is like without deadlines on the other end of the day bearing down. But I intend to remember! The manuscript is done. Emailed last Thursday, quilts mailed Thursday, hard copies of everything but the kitchen sink..mailed today. Whewwww. And I haven't even dealt with the market orders and patterns....double whewww. 

My blog, so neglected! My reading of blogs practically non existent. Today is HEINZ 57 DAY. I'm going to KETCHUP...Oh and then there is the little matter of my sewing room. It may be a two day KETCHUP process. But I shall win the ketchup process and reclaim my life and blog.  




Emily and Russ were in Atlanta yesterday (they were celebrating this). Two years...so happy.

Emily got a new lens for her camera and took some photos of me for the book. Which one do you like the best?






Somebody needs to lay off the Cheetos...

I'm also in favor of #1. LOL I can't believe your daughter has been married 2 years already. Whew...the time has flown!!! Congrats on finishing all that book "stuff".

All of them show your sense of humor and smile. I'm guessing the Committee has allowed you a few nights of sleep. Congrats - really looking forward to the autograph party we'll have for you!

Donna said...

Love the first one and the last one! Actually, all the pictures are adorable. I'm excited about this book.

Barb said...

I didn't see any orange on your hands, you must have washed off the evidence.

Glad you are ketchuping...

Yea! You're back!!! And you can take a deeeeeeeep breath! Can't wait to hear the latest at Thimbles. Missed you while you were creating quilt magic. I love the 1st and last photos.

PS: ask Karin to iron and fold all your linen napkins for the holidays for you. She is a SUPERSTAR with napkin folding.

Love the photos- You have a very expressive face- Its obvious that you and your daughter can see the fun in life.
Thanks for sharing your zest and enthusiasm- it can't help but make others smile.

Well done on your deadline. I know from experience that for a few days if you're doing anything that remotely seems like pleasure (Just sitting with a quilt mag and a coffee for example) you'll feel guilty. You will get over that though.

madrekarin said...

Yay for completion! I cannot wait to get my hands on this book! As for the photos- I think you should pick the first one. ;)

Joanne Lendaro said...

Love the photo's any would do just fine...lol!! congrats to the young couple of two years! Know what you mean...I'm reading (or attempting to) over 200 blogs in google reader trying to catch up...good luck!!

I think I like the next to last photo of you best. You look like you are framing your face.
I loved the pic of Emily and hubby in the church.
