I’m not sure which is scarier:

• I spent tonight sorting my hand sewing/quilting needles
• I had 27 card compartments full of different types/sizes of needles
• I wondered if I should get more needles
• I thought about getting spare thread color charts and cutting them up and putting them into slots
• I am thinking about the next two quilts while doing all this, rather than starting to quilt the pink and green quilt.
• I briefly considered getting a deal (travelocity for $352 or CheapTickets for about $300) which would fly me to Columbus Ohio, give me two nights at a holiday inn and put me within driving distance of Quilt National but still in need of a rental car. Briefly considered.

From an interview with Lance Arthur on Knowspam.net

What are you doing with all your extra time now that you aren’t getting spam?

“Writing more. Cooking my own meals. Petting the cat. Not a entendre, by the way. Real cat. Going outside. Reading. Planning world domination. Yodda yodda yodda.”

I have posted updates to my journal quilt page showing my August quiltlet. It’s much cooler than photos would indicate, but it’s hard to take photos of all white, small things.

Guess that’s all for now.

You knew it had to happen and you know you were waiting for it, so go check out Dougside’s Blackout 2003 tshirt.

Years from now you can do what I did Thursday, stand there surrounded by way younger people and say things like “you won’t remember the last big blackout, but we spent quality time with our Franklin stove.” And they’ll look at you like you’re a loon and say things like “I wasn’t born yet” back at ya.

So get the shirt and wear it proudly next time the lights go out.

This gets my vote for best photo of the day.
