Linda McCutcheon
Ashland, Wisconsin United States
Started quilting in Feb 2000, when I lost my job. I finally had time to tackle my box of sewing scraps, which I had saved for years with hopes of making "a quilt" some day. (now I have many finished projects under my belt). I'm married (38 years!), have 4 married children, 12 grandchildren. Lived in northern Wisconsin all my life, but now we've relocated to a town in northwest Arkansas.

 Good Night List (Click to Read)07/01/2009

Here's something I read in today's newspaper, that I found to be very up-lifting and encouraging advice.  If you have trouble tossing and turning at night, thinking of things left un-done, turn your list around.  Go over in your mind each thing you accomplished during the day, giving yourself a mental pat-on-the-back.  The list might be mundane things, creative things, responsible things, kind things.  Depending on how "down" you are, you could even list "baby steps," like getting out of bed, or getting dressed.  In this way, you will be kind to yourself and not beat yourself up on the "what could have been"  or "should've been" done.

Like, for instance, tonight I can remember that today I printed out June's pattern, and appliqued 1/2-side of a stem on a small block for the Round Robin I'm participating in!  Are you getting the picture?  Smile  Here's to a good night's rest, and a NEW DAY, every day!
