I’m finally back to the blog and microphone!! The summer came and went so fast!! I was more busy than I expected to be but I’m back.
We are jumping ahead in our Quilt Notebook to section 4, we’ll return to section 2 next time.
Quilt Notebook Section 4: WIPs
Works In Progress. We all have them and most of us need to get a handle on each project. I have many projects that I’ve either started or intend to start and most of them are far from organized. I’ve created a WIP document for myself that might be of help to you.

Household Notebook Section 2: Bible Study & Prayer
Read the Proverb of the Day and find one little proverb to reflect on for the day.
Use this section however it best fits your spiritual lifestyle.
Household Notebook Section 10: Month by Month
I divided my house down into six manageable areas. I try to clean, de-clutter, repair, touch up paint, etc. in each area twice a year. Please don’t come visit me!! I have been living in my new house since Nov. 2009 and I have not kept up with this at all. BUT…each month I have good intentions!!
I have a shelf that my dad made for me that I decorate each month by theme. Here’s my list of themes:
Jan: Blue & White w/Snowmen
Feb: Pink & Red w/Valentines & Hearts
Mar: Pastels w/Spring or Easter
Apr: Pastels w/Spring or Easter
May: Yellow, Green & Blue w/Wild Flowers
June: Red, Yellow, Blue & Green w/Summer (flip flops, sand pails, etc.)
July: Red, White & Blue w/Patriotic
Aug: Pink & Purple w/Butterflies
Sept: Fall Colors w/Fall
Oct: Fall Colors w/Pumpkins & Scarecrows
Nov: Fall Colors w/Thanksgiving (Pilgrims, turkeys, etc.)
Dec: Red & Green w/Christmas
I added the color theme in 2010. This gives me an idea of what colors to keep in mind for my quilted decorations. I should take pictures of my shelf each month!!
I also have personal goals for each month. I’ll keep those private – sorry!! But, the idea is to make a list of personal things that I want to accomplish in the current month and make progress on them.
Sorry but I can not find the link to the podcast.. is it on another site? I remember listening to the first couple of podcasts but now can not find the link.
I download the files to my computer and listen to them there.

Amy,
So glad you are back.
I am going to get a WIP list set up. I want to set this up on my Droid, but what would really be neat would be attaching a picture of the fabrics in each WIP, just in case I need to have it while out and about.

Hi there,
I found your podcast Sunday by iTunes and was really excited, your mission statement alone hooked me. Now, after listening, I’m a fan(I’m already looking forward to more episodes). I have a small journal I’ve been trying to use with page tabs, and the notebook ideas are perfect to work out the kinks I’ve been having. I’m a new quilter sorta learning as I go, and this will help me along the way. Thank you!
Happy Crafting & the best to you and yours,
Mae of TN
Please come back! You’re site is awesome. It is one of the many reasons I have started quilting. I just need to finish my notebook, so please put out another podcast.
