March Madness--Not Enough Time for Fun!

Let me make it perfectly clear that I am in no way, shape or form a sports person, so March Madness to me means tax time!  Not only do I collect stuff for our taxes, but I organize my Mother's which includes information on the family farm.  Never thought I would have to know about corn and soybeans and fertilizers, but sometimes I do.  Anyway, between this and the "real" job I don't have near enough time to get fun things done.  Most of my sewing projects take lots of time, and with the traveling I'm doing I just don't get it.  That's what I like about the knitting I've taken up again, though, as it is very portable and I can do as little or as much as I want at a time.

Current projects (I can never just have one going--anyone else like that?):

  1. My first pair of socks made from a merino wool/nylon blend in a beautiful blue/green variegated sock yarn
  2. A doll sweater and tam I need to put buttons on for someone's May birthday
  3. A doll dress I need to add a button to and block
  4. A lacy scarf I'm knitting for a friend that is about finished
  5. A self-designed geometric quilt made from earthtone/earthprint fabric
  6. A set of placemats to quilt
  7. A tumbler quilt for my nephew in dark batiks
  8. Borders on a quilt for my niece made from bright batiks
  9. Quilts for the twin granddaughter's beds
  10. ETC.
Some of it will get done before the rest, but I'll just keep plugging away!
