Kristine, I have been listening to your podcast from day 1 and have enjoyed then all, especially when you run a little longer. I love long podcasts (well most of them anyway, lol.) Anyway, I just listened to the last one and may have to listen again just to remember what I wanted to comment about. As my husband calls it, I have A G E disease. I love the string quilt you have posted below. It is gorgeous. I laughed so hard when you were talking about leaving the water bottles to see if anyone else will fill them. Honey, they always fail that test at my house too! I have left dishes in the dishwasher (cleaned) for two days to see if anyone will put them away. They haven’t yet. Same goes with the garbage. Sometimes I like to see how hard they will try to cram things in just so they don’t have to be the one to empty it. Sadly the kids are grown so this other person I keep referring to is mostly my husband. I occasionally catch the kids when they visit and watch to see if they will do any of it. Nope. I am going to now try to develop your attitude. I will let you know if it works for me. 🙂 Thanks for all the work you put into making an awesome podcast for us to enjoy! I absolutely do enjoy it!!! Keep up the wonderful work Kristin!
I always enjoy your podcasts. I listen to the podcast while folding and putting away the laundry. I will need to download the Fly Lady app. I like learning from Diane. She is so interesting. Turns out that I was already doing some Fly Lady cleaning without knowing about the program. I would love to see her next year at the Color Your Truth convention. I don’t think that will happen though.
You had mentioned about a crafting accountability group for next year, you can count me in. I need someone that will encourage me or inquire where I am at on my quilting progress of a quilt.
It’s time for some tea and time to make progress on my niece’s quilt .
