Crafter ADD

I have to tell you, I got that term from Laurie at ArtSmith. She thought she had Crafter ADD because she had nine projects started. Nine. NINE. Yes, only nine. I unceremoniously called her a wimp. Ppffffftttt. Only nine. Can you imagine? I have a couple more than that. But I worked on my Sneak Preview today and it's almost ready to reveal. I'm very pleased with it. It looks great.

And I did do the Leader and Ender Madness while I worked on my Sneak Preview. I got a couple more Mimi squares done with the leader/ender method! I need more Mimi squares because my Mimi project is not small. Oh no. I had to get ambitious and make a big quilt. Here's what I have done so far. Can you see the Mimi squares in there? Or are they lost in there?

I don't know why I can't do a small quilt. When others do them they are so cute, and look so great. Look at Monica's, behind the celery bag. But I always think - what am I going to do with that? Other people hang them and again, they look great! I always think that mine would look stupid. I saw on WhipUp a Whiplash challenge to do a miniature quilt. Maybe I should challenge myself to do that.

In the meantime, I'm going to finish my Mimi quilt and my Sneak Preview - mostly so I can stop calling it a Sneak Preview, for goodness sakes.

Meme #2 I love popcorn. If I have it around, I won't stop eating it. I eat a whole bag of the microwave stuff (I usually buy the small 100 calorie bags). If I go the movies and buy one of those big ass buckets of popcorn - it will be gone by the end of the movie. And if I get a refill? I will. I love kettle corn the most. And Downtown Disney has CARAMEL kettle corn. OMG To die for.

Hey, cut me some slack...I'm coming down off a binge. I'm pretty sure as soon as I finish these last 3, yes, I said it, I only have 3 things going right now, but give me another week and I bet I'll catch up with you! lol!

Your quilt is looking good! As for little ones, after that doll quilt swap, I'm thinking that is how I want to decorate my stairway...it's a 'U' shape, and completely bare. I was thinking a bunch of little doll size quilts would be PERFECT! Ha! See...I've caught up with you already! rofl!

If 9 is crafter's ADD - then I must have incurable advanced crafter's ADD - I have about 20 projects going right now and can't stop starting new ones.

I don't even know how many things I have started and will pick up later. The little big quilt is turning out very cute. I can't wait to see it all done. :)

Only a really sick quilter keeps count of how many unfinished project she (he?) has! LOL! I like popcorn a lot too, but I have to make mine from scratch--and it's extremely simple and quick, but I think most of us have forgotten how. Of course, the microwave works wonders on melting the butter. And every now and then, I like it tossed with parmesan and oregano. But thank goodness, I don't have it all that often! LOL!

what is it when you have tons of ideas but nothing started? (no, don't tell me. I don't want to know.)

Lovin' the look of your combo quilt, i love the leaders & enders. It seems like something even I could do.

I love your L&E... love the fabs, the style... all of it. And I can see Mimi!!!!! :o) I'm so hooked on doll quilts. YOU CAN do it Michelle. And the best part... it finishes so fast! I get the same satisfaction as I do with a big quilt. But more so because I get it done. And I can't count the number of WIPs I have... but I CAN count the cupboards that are filled up with them! And guess what... not a single doll quilt WIP!

When Capello's done licking it... can I have a turn?

I'm 10000% with you on #1 and #2. Can't wait to see what's next!

HEY Blogger! Why do you make me anon? Was it something I said? Was it because I left you for Wordpress? Was it because I said mean things to you last week when you wouldn't let me comment on people's blogs?

Here, blogger blogger. Come here pretty, pretty blogger. Come and let me pet you and make nice to you. Oh you smell nice blogger. Is that a new shampoo you're using?

Just in case... it's me Monica!

Oooh, I love the L&E and Mimi combo! It's so cool! You're so talented, you just make my teeth hurt! I know what you mean about small projects. I keep TRYING to make a small project, but I just can't! Somehow they always turn into bed quilts! ARGH! ~A :-)
