This is my motto nowadays. Life is too short to play it 100% safe all the time. Do what you can to prepare for what might happen and go about your business. If not, you’ll miss out on some of the fantastic opportunities that exist in this crazy world of ours.
I still don’t trust my SUV 100%, so I invested in a portable battery self-jumping system and upgraded my AAA membership to include 100 miles of towing. The money I spent provides peace of mind. I now go about my daily business and will just deal with whatever may happen. So far, my SUV has been operating normally, Hopefully, it continues.
If I’d played it 100% safe, I would have missed a wonderful visit opportunity with Sadie today. It was so great to reconnect with some of my former coworkers. Big Girl made many kids and adults smile during our visit. We all need a little Sadie sunshine in our lives.
Next week, I’ll be helping the quilt museum provide a 1/2 day of professional development for Carrollton City and Carrollton County art teachers. Not exactly sure what this is going to look like, but I’ll write up my best cross-curricular ideas for integration with math, literacy and science, don my tie-dye SQTM t-shirt and show up on Friday morning
This afternoon, I’ll teach my final drawstring bag sewing lesson and then start tackling the to be quilted pile. Quilt design choices are (1) some variation of a loopy meander or (2) straight or wavy line quilting. I’ve been stuck for far too long agonizing over quilting designs. These are every day projects – not show or heirloom quilts. Time to get them finished!
