Day 3: Already Behind Schedule

It will surprise no one, least of all me, that I am already behind schedule. In January I got a new job and while it's nice to have secure employment, I work a ton now, even when I am at home. I am hoping this gets better after April, though.

Another thing that is throwing me off my sewing schedule is the complete dearth of anything good on TV! Sewing is a fantastic excuse to keep my TV on all evening. I am going to just come out and say this: I love television. I LOVE IT. Sometimes I feel as though people expect me to be anti-TV because I read a lot. Is there a lot of trash on TV? Yes. Does it rot your mind? Undoubtedly. But hot damn, what a way to go. Anyways, my point is, "The Bachelor" just ended earlier this week (no, I cannot explain why I love the show, so don't bother asking), and what's even worse, "Biggest Loser" just started AGAIN (seriously, "Better Off Ted" is killed after 2 seasons but "BL" is on its 200th? There is no justice in this world). So a lack of quality TV is not incentivizing my sewing.

BUT... I did start cutting into the muslin. And lucky for me that I have a helper....

Because cats have an uncanny knack for knowing when their presence is a hindrance -- which is the precise time that they most want to be around you.

I have this sneaking suspicion that I'm working on getting sick, because I've been feeling headachey and dragging around for the last couple of days. But hopefully I can keep it together and get far enough to actually start sewing the pieces together this weekend. I read a really good tutorial on altering muslins so I'm itching to get into it!
