I've caught the sickness

The sickness that is mini-quilt/doll-quit mania! I've been really enjoying all the little quilts I've seen in blogland. And when I came across the bag full of pieced half-square triangles, I thought I could stop at one.

I really enjoy playing with the blocks...arranging them in different ways to see which colors pop. And I get all giddy when I see what different border fabrics do to the overall look.

So I admit it. I'm hooked. If I disappear for a while you'll know it's because I crawled into a cave filled with embroidery floss and batting. Oh, and movies, too (yesterday's mail held 3 netflix movies just for me!).

Before I sneak off to my cave I should get this whole tagging business out of the way. So I've been tagged to reveal 7 random things about me. I really don't think I'm interesting enough to have 7 whole things to say about me, but I'll try!

1. I'm not one for background noise. I drive in silence. No radio. The only time I opt for music is when I need to clean house and I really don't feel like it. Then I turn on the music launchcast in yahoo messenger (my computer is in the kitchen, so handy!) and go for a mix of 80's music.

I'm gearing up to clean at the moment and my computer is singing Depeche Mode. (ooh...and now it's Come On Eileen/Dexy's Midnight Runners...good kitchen cleaning song!)

2. I wear skirts every single day for no real reason other than I just like them.

3. I can make awesome peanut butter cookies without using a recipe or measurements. I just dump stuff in a bowl and they come out great every time. It's like I'm magic.

4. I am seriously grossed out by the texture of microfiber cleaning cloths when they are dry. I'm fine once they're wet. But I cringe when I see them fresh from the dryer.

5. I used a lawnmower exactly once in my life. That was plenty.

6. I don't love summer. I don't like to be hot and sweaty. I prefer gloomy, misty-rainy days that are around 50-65 degrees. I think I would love the Pacific Northwest. I do not love St. Louis.

7. I don't enjoy video games. Never have. I don't like to lose and losing happens a lot with video games.

My stitchin' cave is calling me. I'll do my tagging later! :-)
