5 down...

160+ to go...

AQ digests that is. I really like the list just the way it is, but sometimes I really wish that folks would do the chatty stuff in a blog, rather than on the main list. When I want personal stories, I read your blogs at my leisure and when I have the interest (and time - *definately* more lacking than interest since you are all so darned inspiring!!!), but when I have a huge backlog of digests to read, I don't want to skip any in case I miss some challenge news, or a cool new technique or tool. I *hate* just skimming through the posts and missing out on people's lives, so if they put their stuff in blogs, I wouldn't have to, and could read much about someone in a context where I actually have a better chance of getting to know them...

Ah well. Pet peeve of the day.

I'm back on the stupid narcotics again (colposcopy yesterday triggered me AGAIN), but I nevertheless had a brainstorm: get DH to move a bed side table over to my sofa, and then use my new cordless keyboard so I can type on my lap, and see the monitor easily on the table! Yahoo! Cords stink when I am on bedrest, since they get caught in my sheets or I fall over them... Thank heavens for my cousin's excellent taste in Christmas presents!!! (Lucky me, lucky me, lucky me - I would NEVER have been able to justify buying one for myself, but I am really excited about it! Anything to make bedrest easier!!!)

I have a near-family wedding this weekend, and I somehow resisted the impulse to make them a quilt. His eldest sister got a true lover's knot block made from excess bridal fabric from our fittings, but no one else has ever gotten a wedding quilt from me, so I'm glad I resisted the impulse. My cousin has been married for 12 years, and they might get one for their 15th, but I think I'll stick with baby quilts otherwise... Less expensive to make in terms of both money and time, so that hopefully I can actually get back into the studio for some real work at some point! Hopefully before MAY!!!! (grumble, grumble)
