30 minutes again!

Nope! I do not have a new dog but you might recognize Stephanie's dog, Abby. Abby has such a cute face. You might be wondering why I have a picture of this quilt and her puppy. You could win this quilt when you make a donation to the American Red Cross which will help out the country of Japan. You can visit her blog to read about all the details.
Since I have been teaching so much lately I have gotten out of a routine. So I pulled out my little timer and went to work cleaning my sewing room first.

Then I prepped some circles and sewed them onto some more circles. These are part of my Hop to It block.


I covered some cord and sewed it onto this pillow which I will reveal soon.
Sorry about the pictures. Blogger is being weird.
Have a great weekend. We are supposed to have nice weather in my part of the world. I hope you do too.

With Passion,
Carrie P.

Still lovin' that timer idea....still haven't implemented it!

Blogger has been weird with me tonight, too. Not with posting but the way my blog is being displayed. It is almost a full moon!

I like the timer idea. I usually use it in the kitchen so that I don't wander aimlessly around. It is good to know that in 30 minutes (or longer depending on what state it's in!) I can get out of there and onto my sewing.

I think I need to go on ebay and look for a cute sewing themed timer for my sewing room!!! its a great idea to give yourself 30 minutes per project. You can get alot of productivity done that way.

The longarm convention I was at told us to set a timer each time we started working and keep track of the time spent...it is a real eye opener.

What a great idea!! I need to pull out some hand quilting and just allow 30 minutes of it every day.

Yesterday, the weather here felt and looked like spring-- yay!!! Hopefully, today will be more of the same (especially since it's the first day of spring).

It is a lot of fun seeing what you can accomplish in 30 minutes.
