In the meantime, I have tapped into the pleasures of handsewing -- eminently do-able in the little 5 minute windows between student papers, while waiting for water to boil, or while playing a footsie version of "London Bridge" with my littlest one (yes, I can stitch, sing, and elevate my legs simultaneously...I am a multitasker!).
Inside this pretty tin box (lovely ladies selling insecticide)...
is everything I have needed to do a little hand-sewing
of a tiny but growing field of hexagon "flowers"
but I have run out of pre-cut paper hexagons, and the ones I cut myself from printer paper are flimsy...so....I have 1200 paper hexagons on order (!).
That should keep me busy!
Eventually this will make a nice "grandmother's flower garden" quilt, and I'm in this for the long haul....But I do already have an idea in mind for another hand-pieced project. My biggest challenge in the next month or so is finishing up a few projects -- so I can start some new ones!
I'm curious: how many projects do you have in process?

Too cute little tin!! Gorgeous little hexie flowers too!
Now, if I had to work out the answer to your last question, I wouldn't be able to sleep tonight!!!!! Let's just say it's more than 5 and less than 20!
That makes me feel a little better, Helen! And I agree: sometimes it's better not to enumerate, simply to enjoy working on one project at a time....
