*collapses, undead*

I... am probably not going to be posting any fics on Christmas Day this year. I want to, I just don't have the time/energy/concentration to write. The reason I've been doing so much quilting this year is that sewing is a creative outlet that withstands interruptions. Being dragged away from the machine by tiny hands? No big deal. I can pick up where I left off later. Writing, however, is completely different. To get into the zone, I need uninterrupted time. Not much of that around here these days.

That said, I am the quilting boss of everything at the moment. After realizing that the main present for someone was not likely to arrive on time, I pulled out a finished quilt top, put together a backing, basted it, and spent the last three evenings madly quilting it. From like 9pm to past midnight each night. It's not a small quilt - 75" x 94". And it is now DONE and chugging away in the washer. Compare that to me needing weeks to do something roughly the same size a year ago. So on that, at least, I'm pretty chuffed. And I'm going to sleep sooooo well tonight....

Tomorrow, more gift bags. And the library. And possibly seeing Star Wars.
