The quilting is happening.  There is really nothing more exciting to say about that.  I am almost half way thru quilting and should make the 1/2 way mark by the end of the week.  I still have another quilt to machine-quilt and the plan is to have them both done by the 15th. I hate to make my clients too nervous by stretching it out till Christmas Eve, hehehe.  Not to mention, I will need to do some Christmas shopping at some point.  Looks like I will be out there with all the other lunatics who run it down to the wire ;)>

I really am a planner, I just have trouble executing the plan.   For 
example, when my oldest daughter (an extreme planner who successfully 
executes) suggested making a detailed schedule for Advent, detailing 
each person's candle color, day they draw their candle, etc...I stopped 
her mid-sentence.  There is just no way that this family can execute 
such a detailed plan.  Let me rephrase that.  There is no way that
 I will ever be consistent enough to execute that plan.  There is freedom in knowing who you are and rolling with it...trust me.
SO, back to the quilting, I have a plan to execute ;)
