  • Remember Boredom?

    ByHeather Bailey

    It's been another whirlwind of a month. I start every-other post along these lines, don't I?

    You'll know I've made some big changes around here if the general
    flavor switches to "Not much going on right now," "Nothing new," or "I'm
    bored."

    Remember boredom? I have a faint, nostalgic sense of it from deep
    within my childhood memory—right next to a yellow Plymouth Reliant,
    parachute pants and Monchhichi dolls.

    I'm back from Quilt Market in Portland and busy wrapping up a new
    product line launching in July. I am dying to share it with you.

    I'll have photos soon. Call this a whisper. I'll be back with a shout—just as soon as we send the final artwork on its way.

    It's
    Quilt Market season at the studio. We're in a bi-annual bustle to prep
    for the show. Today, I met with another local stitcher who will be
    helping out with samples. I'm skirting around that misleading 'sewer'
    word. I think we just need to come up with a new spelling. Same word,
    new spelling: sewwer, sewur, sew-er, sew-erer, sewurr, seweur
    (french-ish)…

    What a fun afternoon. Fun I have no business having. Fun I have no business without.

    I was up with the baby till 4am last night, nursing him through a
    105º fever. I finally climbed into the tub and poured water over his
    back while he slept against my shoulder. It was so sweet. But, man am I
    tired!

    It's 7pm now on Friday night and it feels like my day is just getting
    going. I don't think date night is gonna happen unless Isaac wants to
    help refine pattern covers, book flights, schedule meetings, or sew.

    ** I let the baby pick a photo and title this post for me. **
