Well, I've been back to work for a week and a half and I am really starting to have more energy. Being caffeine and soda free for a couple of weeks seems to have helped. Don't get me wrong I don't expect to stay that way forever but I am sleeping better. That being said, I haven't done much in the way of quilting. Oh I did finish cutting the strips for the Simply Squares quilt, but I haven't really jumped onto anything. Plus my UFOs are increasing. I've decided it's because I am not eating the frogs. There are things I am not doing because I am dreading them. So I procrastinate until I have no choice. So with it being UFOvember, I've decided to figure out what my frogs are.
1. Cleaning the studio. I can't really get moving on anything until I get things cleaned up and put away. I need to be able to move around my machine in order to use it. There are things in there that I need moved out and things I need a place for. This is a daunting task to me and I am probably going to need some help to do it.
2. Machine Maintenance. I need to give Millie a WD-40 bath and I've never done it before. So I need to get the manual out and read up on that.
3. Quilt Path Upgrade. I've not used Millie since the Quilt Path upgrade. In one of my face book groups I have heard about all sorts of problems. So I am rather nervous about firing it up and using it. I need to read up on that as well.
4. Making Backing. It's not that I find it difficult to make backings, I just struggle to make sure they are square. I've watched some videos on it and I am doing it correctly. I just could really use a bigger surface to do it on.
I think these are my top three Frogs and I think I have them pretty much in order of size. Now I just need to decide when and how I am going to eat them.
I am hoping to pull Perigrine and Killian into helping me with the studio. I think that Frog is the size of an elephant and will need to be eaten in a few settings. So while it's my biggest Frog, I am not going to be able to get it done before I work on anything else. I do need to sew after all.
Once the Studio is cleaned up and I have things in place, I will give Millie a bath. She needs one. I think that this Frog is doable in one day. That is once I've gotten the studio straight.
In the mean time, I need to do some reading. I also can complete the Cobble Stones and Windmill quilt top and the Batik Strip quilt top. Maybe I'll even get the backs put together.
What are your frogs?
