Tick Tock, It's Rush Hour time

Rush, rush rush....seems we all do it or did it at one time or another.  In most cases it is because we don't  want too.  Fortunately, I am now retired and try not to "Rush" anymore.  (Neither are my helpers, Tamo and KC)



This hop was one that  I  did not rush with at all.  I was ready way ahead of time.

Thank you soo much Madame Samm  and Carol for coming up with this great theme and for all your hard work.

I made 3 different projects.

My first was well needed.  I always keep a calander on my desk at my computer.  I am one that loves being organized and also writing everything down.  My calendar not only keeps Birthdays, Anniversaries, appointments, but things I want to accomplish that day.  Also notes as to what I did accomplished  that day.   I needed to get a new holder, but we are 17 miles from our nearest store and I only go twice a month.  Unfortunately,  I keep forgetting.  So I got this idea:


I made a pocket using black fabric, and placed a thin piece of cardboard inside.  Not knowing, but it should  have been a  little heavier piece.


It is not perfect...but it sure works good for what I want it to do.  


My second is a wall hanging:
  
(I always say to myself.  Get your work done, then quilt.  That way I can quilt as long as I want and not worry about getting other things done.  Before, I had to wait till after 5:00, when I got home.)




My third and last is a mug rug.

I like to enjoy a good cup of coffee when drawing, or designing my next idea.  (Coffee  isn't bad but when I have a cold drink, it sweats.) 



(I usually  grab a few cookies too.  
Chocolate of course)


Oh, I almost forgot my pin cushion.  Isn't  it cute?  Holds lots of pins and a tape measure.  I have it sitting on my cutting table in the corner.


I purchased this a week ago when I went to Jackson with my husband.  I thought it was too cute to pass up.  Plus I can use it as a pattern. :)

Now it is time to put my mug rug to use.  I am going to pour myself a cup of coffee and see what others had made.

Come join me.  Here is today's list:


Check out the full schedule here.

Till next time,

HAPPY QUILTING EVERYONE!!

    That journal is perfect. What a clever idea! The wallhanging is very sweet. No more watching the clock until it is time to quilt! The mug rug is perfect. It is always time for tea (well, for me anyway). Thank you for sharing!

    What fun. From your personal calendar to your quilting clock. (although I would probably reverse the order) no cleaning until after 5p, or maybe 9p cause I go to bed soon. hahahahaha Hey, I wanna come over for coffee and choco cookies too! :-)

    I smiled when I looked closer and realized that every number on your clock was a 5. Cute. I like to sew in the morning because that is when I am the most creative and fresh. Have a wonderful day. Janita
