Well here it is Monday already and no post up on the blog. I took Friday off of work and had myself a 3 day weekend, and here it is Monday already. I got a lot done, I finished part 3 of the Quiltville Mystery, I did some sewing for a friend and got that done and dropped off, and puttered around the house a lot. I do find it highly ironic that the post following the post about keeping up is late. Oh well.

I also realized this weekend that my Applique circles project is down to the last 4 dozen circles. They are just large circles that already have the seam allowance pressed so they are easy to do, just rhythmic mindless sewing. When I started this last year, I figured I needed 256 circles and that seemed GINORMOUS. I thought it would take me years to finish those and yet here I am, only 4 dozen to go. Before I know it I’ll be piecing this together, and getting it quilted and bound. I don’t know what I will work on next, however, I was so convinced this would take so long, I didn’t ponder what my next hand sewing project would be.

This strikes me as a bit of a metaphor for what we are going through right now. When we started all this social distancing stuff, it seemed GINORMOUS. Completely new and alien and yet here we are. I can’t make plans and we are all uncertain about the future, but I do know that time will march on and we will come out of this hibernation and that will come at us as a bit of surprise too, sooner than we expected. I know I don’t have a huge plan in place, but I’m ruminating on some ideas so that when the time comes I’ll be ready to go.

So have another cup of coffee, and while you tackle your Monday, give a few thoughts to the future and the things you want to do next.
