HUGE yet AWESOME setback

Here is the good news: Moms quilt is done. And Grampa's table runner is all machine stitched together. It just needs the bindings sewn on and the center piece to be cut, folded and pinned. So about a days worth of work left there.

Here is the bad news: Uncle Jimss totally awesome super mario bros pillow has been put on the back burner for so long that I almost forgot that it wasn't a completed project. That certainly isn't for lack of love for my totally awesome, techno savy uncle! But it would seem that these projects wont be completed until the xmas deadline is staring me in the face.

Here is why, and this is the awesome part that makes up for this ( I hope).

Awesomeness part I - im going on vacation to St. Johns (USVI) for the first time in my life this Saturday for a whole week. The primary objective of this vacation is to spread the remainer of my grandmothers ashes and celebrate my fathers 50th birthday. I think, just to be a nerd, I will bring grampas project with me to do on the plane on the way down. He is flying separately from us as he is coming from FL and not the far north. Ill just have to hide it while im down there.

Awesomeness part II - I am moving out of my dads.
Some may think that this is not a big deal. I would say "nay nay this is huge!" However, with everything getting packed away it will sadly mean that Uncle Jims pillow will be the last thing I finish this year even though it was one of the first that I started. Again, not for lack of love for my wonderful uncle but for lack of love for those frustrating little squares! Tee hee.

I've gotta say, im so excited could throw up!
