Time out...

With the new table runner finished
 I'm having a bit of a struggle just trying to decided what I want to do next.
Do I make something else with all the red, pink and white that I still have 
or
do I work on my Christmas quilt so I can get it finished and then be able to move on to another project inspired by new book that was acquired at the quilt shop?
I can't make up my mind.  I think I'm going to have to go hang out in the kitchen with my Ipod while I make lasagna for dinner.  Kind of like a time out thing for me from the craft room because making a decision is too much for me right now.
There's just too many ideas running around my head again.  And to make matters worse, the girls and I found the new location of a quilt shop that I thought had closed for good.  Let's just say that Glenn was not all yippy skippy upon hearing that yesterday.

  2. The runner is perfect, Kar. So cheerful. And I love it with your stark white pitchers and jugs. Beautious.

    I know you'll find something for your hands to do. :-)

  4. I love that table runner! The colours are so well matched and the stitches so neat!

    About your next project, I would do both: yarn & quilt. One day you knit, next day you stitch... That's what I do when I want to start two different things and I can't wait.

  6. I envy you being able to use a table runner! It's lovely, btw :) Our little kitchen is so tiny we barely have room for a little table and my Dad is rather the gruff type so not as appreciative of my attempts to beautify the space! I do so wish I had the excuse to hook up something sweet for it! I think I'm winning him over ever so slowly ;)

    I've had a bad case of the "in-betweens" as well! I finished my cabled neckwarmer and spent most of last night ambling back and forth between my yarn stash and searching Ravelry for inspiration. I've settled on another hat only because it needed to get done before winter was over with!

    Hope you have a wonderful week!

  7. Well, I'd be yippy-skippy about a new quilt shop. I'm so tired of the same old stuff in our Jo-Ann's. It's so predictable and boring. I need inspiration.

    Your runner is a thing of beauty. It looks wonderful. Right up my alley.

  9. Oh goodness, what a happy runner!!!! I am in love. So sorry in my tardiness to leave a comment, honestly I am not certain where the time goes. I am living from one school paper to another to writing deadlines at work. I never thought I would say this but I am tired of writing. :)
