Multi Tasking

I can say for sure that I am a lover of multi tasking. Yesterday, I found myself saying, “multi tasking is for the birds.” Shame on me, but I do wonder sometimes if doing a lot of things at once is really a good thing. I am sure my parents watched us as more external stimuli held our attention less and less. We no longer had time to curl up with a good book. “Just watch the book made into a movie on tv; or worse yet get the Cliff notes so you will know enough to pass the test,” we would say. I would have missed some really good books if I had held to that philosophy. Now I look at my grandchildren’s generation and it is moving even faster. Who has time for tv, watch it on your phone or the computer and fast forward past the commercials. If the world keeps going faster and faster with each generation, where will it end up? I also wonder what my grandmother thought about the world she was leaving me in.

Well anyway, I have been multi tasking like crazy. I feel bad that I haven’t gotten to my newsletter but it is getting higher on the list. I started making the outfits for the children on the quilt.

I’m really pleased with the way this one turned out. I had to stop myself from getting too detailed. Afterall, it is just a quilt. I used several different white fabrics in this quilt so that difference between things could be noted easily. I used some kona white on the house. Then I found some white linen in my stash and used that on outfit number one. I had another piece of white that I used on his shirt. Can’t wait to find more different ones for the other outfits. The leaves are finally almost finished. Nothing has moved as fast as I wanted it to but it’s coming along.

I have to admit that I am getting a little antsy. I catch myself thinking about the next project a lot. I need to be thinking about this one A LOT. I will get it done though because I’ve got multi tasking on my side.
