Getting a puppy is like having a newborn.  The first couple months I was exhausted.  Exhausted doesn't even being in the explain it.  The third month, we are finally hitting a stride, in day to day activities.  She finally sleeps all night, which means, I'm no longer functioning like a zombie. One major obstacle that still remains is quilting.  I cannot sit down at the sewing machine for more than 5 minutes without the puppy finding me and chewing the cord.  When I see her coming I turn my machine off and putting the cords up.   I usually end being grouchy, stressed and feeling like I just ran a marathon.

With all my sewing woes, I was voluntold to make a flag for a weekend camp out.  It was Star Wars theme.  I know nothing about Star Wars.  I looked up The First Order, and went from there.  I then spent 2 days designing the logo on my Cricut.  It was a huge pain in the rear end.  I finally got it done and the words.  The easy part was stitching it down on Day 4.  The kids loved it, and I am quite proud of it.

Since the camp out was for just the scout and 1 parent, I stayed home.  I had this wild idea that I would get so much quilting done.  I have also been looking at my mystery quilt thinking it is never going to be done.  I have had no time to sew, and each time I do, I have to clean the table from everybody's stuff.  Saturday afternoon, I decided to square up some pieces, and kit the blocks up.  By dinner time, I was excited to have finished.  The quilt already seems manageable.  Sunday, I sewed the one block I had laying  out for weeks.  In the midst of sewing, I realized that I forgot this one unit.  I don't even have enough units for all 6 blocks, so i will have to make more.  Such is life.  Tomorrow, I'll get right back to cutting.
