Not enough hours in the day

My paid job is pretty full on at the moment.  And for one reason or another my boys are calling on a lot of my time.  Last month it was serious "training" for the school swimming carnival.  And this it is extra time with the little guy helping him through what seems to be a tough time in his life.  And yet, I hanker after more time at the sewing machine.  Particularly after a machine quilting class at Material Obsession with the fabulous Kim, AND the start of Sue Ross workshops for the year.  I felt pretty pleased that I had been able to knock out a present for Son #1's teacher's new baby using some scraps and a lovely piece of linen.  I am hoping the linen won't be toooo scratchy on lovely new baby skin. 
This project also gave me the opportunity to practice a little  machine equiting although it's still baby steps at this stage.  And a WIP. A double wedding ring quilt I've been working on in class.  I love those little flowers, by my they are time consuming!
