That sounds wonderful, qltsbme! I can't wait to try it:)

The weather here in Western NY is wonderful, too! It's been a long time coming this year but maybe it's here for the summer.

Get to work and check out this site throughout the day in between working. I just can't help it. I have to see what is going on.

Mornings her are pretty boring:

Get up and go to bathroom
Grab a diet coke & cup of coffee
Go to living room & flip on news
Feed the Mals if they are not on a job w/DH
Turn on computer to check in here & answer emails & check out Ebay
Decide what all has to be done today or this evening or what to do in the evening.
Shower & get dressed
Either go run errands or do housecleaning

Right now (I'm on sabbatical from teaching) I get up around 7:30, get downstairs around 8:00. I make a piece of toast, and a cup of tea with a slice of lemon. Jump on the net for a bit, check my e-mail, check out some quilt websites. At 10:00 I watch Martha Stewart (sorry, i think she has some good ideas now and then), then the view at 11:00. Love that show - keeps me up-to-date on what happened the day or night before. My husband come home for lunch at 12, then I head in to my quilting room or go outside to work in the flower beds, mow, etc. I turned my formal living room into a quilt studio five years ago. Best idea I ever had. Love it!

Okay, on a normal morning I get up between 5 & 5:30. I go get a cup of coffee (love the timer)go turn on the laptop and check in here. Make some raisin toast and answer any personal emails then right back here. I love to start and end my day with all of you. I shower, dress and get my face on. About 6:15 I check to be sure DD is up and moving. I then check in with all of you again. I have to be on the road no later than 7 to get to work on time. I can't access my personal email or the forum from work so of course I miss out during the day but as soon as supper is over and the kitchen is sparkling, I am back!! Weekends are great, DH does alot around the house and so most of the time I can spend hours sewing and have the forum up all day if I want to (and I always want to). Great way to spend my free time.
Happy stitching!!

Up at 0450, Shower, get ready for work and out the door by 0520. Get to work, make coffee, and work. Okay, maybe not all work.

On days off, which are far too few, get up, make coffee check QIAD. Have coffee with DH and the girls (Liberty, Sadie, Emma, and Molly, cats and dogs) on the patio. Go into sewing room and wonder what happened in there (very messy), and start sewing. I eventually get dressed at some point in the day.

First thing, make a pot of green tea and then head for the computer. All of this at around 4 or 4:30 a.m. I try to limit myself to a couple hours online on the forum and catching up on news and e-mail. Then I turn off the computer, run errands and then get into the zone in my quilting room for the rest of the day while watching CNN, whatever I have Tivo'd, the food channel, old classic movies and internet quilting programs.
