Oh My!


I promised you beefcake, right? I always keep my word. Most of the time.

I've been overwhelmed by the number of you who visited me on MY day AND who actually came back again yesterday! Incredible! I should warn you though--I'm not ALWAYS funny. Sometimes I'm serious. Sometimes I'm bored. Sometimes I'm creative. And sometimes I'm just very tired--like tonight.

When I'm not busy being a comedy blogger and a quilt designer, I'm a legal secretary. Right now, we're getting ready to go to trial on a fairly complex case, and it's meant some pretty intensive work during the past week and a bit of overtime here and there. Except that tonight it was more than a "bit of overtime"--tonight it was around three hours of overtime.

I haven't seen the inside of the Sweat Shop for more than a few minutes all week--except maybe to sit down and draw my pattern illustrations, and that doesn't really count, does it? ARGH!

Okay, I just slapped myself out of it. Are you having fun on the blog tour, finding all kinds of fun projects? I'm amazed at the cute stuff my fellow bloggers have come up with. And today is STEFANIE's day! Stefanie is Little Lady Patchwork and I think you'll find her project is just as excellent as the others have been. Want to see it?


Stefanie used the Giddy line for her project just like I did--well, actually several of us used it. I really need to get some of that cherry fabric in the first couple hearts on the left--it's very, very yummy, isn't it?

Oh, and before you go, speaking of yummy . . .

  6. I'm 9 months into this very rough pregnancy, so the beef cake at the end of the post is entirely unappealing. In fact, I think I'd like to throw something at him. haha! Instead, I'll take the first cake...with a glass of milk. :o)

  7. I was a little disappointed when I saw the top picture of your beefcake. But I kept reading, and so glad that I did. Even though I'm an 'old maid' I do like to see some 'eye candy' once in a while. Thanks for sharing.

  8. You sure are a busy woman. How do you find the time - and yet be so clever and funny?! Thanks for both "beefcakes." I knew you wouldn't disappoint your blog followers. (No sure which pic made me drool more - yum!)

  9. Well, Kim, life is serious, boring, and dull some of the time and we just have to roll with it. I do think that roll with a good sense of humor, though!

    I laughed so hard at your "beefcake" at the top of the post. That was perfect. And as I'm "maturing" I find myself less drawn to the type at the bottom...hello, menopause! Ugh!

    Have a wonderful day!

    XOXO,

    Cyndi

Love your blog, just think all that overtime means more fabric for the Sweat Shop and now you will have the weekend to drool over that & your beefcake....
