Superwoman I Am Not

I was recently asked the question, "How do you do it all?"... obviously I need to fill you all in on a little secret: I only post the projects that are finished, not the dozens that have been in the works for way too long. Here is what you don't see in a post:

• I am a perfectionist, so each project gets much thought and planning before I begin.
• I am perpetually behind on returning emails and phone calls. Sometimes months behind. Somehow my dear friends and family still like me (or at least they pretend to like me)!
• I always have about six dozen project ideas in my head at a given time.
• I have had an Army Star quilt cut out, but the blocks not put together, for close to one year. I can't get myself to start it when I have two unfinished quilts (see below).
• My Civil War quilt is over four years in the making ~ finally pieced, but not yet layered.
• I have been hand quilting a Buttercup quilt (originally for Maddie, now for Ella) for over three years.... maybe even four now that I think about it.
• I have a Summer skirt I made for myself back in May that is still without a zipper, waistband, and hem.
• The girl's scrapbooks haven't been updated since last Easter.
• I still have "quilted" Christmas ornaments to make for my tree... I wanted them to be done last Christmas.
• Have I mentioned I want to learn to knit?
• I know I am a stay at home mom, but I never feel like I get enough quality time with my two sweet girls.
• The list of books that I want to read keeps growing, but my reading time keeps shrinking.

That is all for now. I'm off to make thank you cards and peach butter.
