Sat-ur-day, Sat-ur-day, Sat-ur-day, Sat-ur-day.....

Do I have you belting out Elton John yet?

Today the plan is to FINISH, yes, I said FINISH, Checkerboard Hearts. We shall see how that goes.

Bernie threaded up? 

Check!

Walking foot on? 

Check!

Diet Coke (3rd caffeine fix of day so far) close at hand? 

Check!

Peppermint dish stocked? (prevents excessive teeth gritting while free-motioning)

Check!

Japanese Lucky Kitty set to wave mode? (we need all the help we can muster to finish this today..especially it's scallop edge...and if that works out, heck, we'll go out and pick up some Powerball tickets, right Kitty Kat?) 

Check!

Tart burner fired up with Zen-like aroma of relaxing forest? (remember to breathe when quilting) 

Check!

Mindless TV on for white noise? (Oh look, it's Heads Up Poker Tournament....totally mindless) 

Check!

Overall clean, conducive atmosphere? Somewhere you want to spend the afternoon, or however long it takes to knock this finish out?

Check!

If I can finish this baby in the next few hours, and the weather clears up, we may just be able to work in an impromptu trip to Frederick tonight for dinner -- it's Fire in Ice First Saturday -- 34 ice sculptures line the streets downtown, along with marshmallow roasting stations. Fingers crossed.

I hope you have the chance to do something creatively fulfilling today as well. Enjoy whatever project you choose.

Let's roll!!
