...whatever I make lately, I can't seem to just make one, or even a few, but have to make lots! Six weeks ago I made 10 dozen cupcakes when I only needed 4 dozen; three weeks ago I cut out pincushions - 18 of them; two weeks ago I made hand-stamped notepads (15 of those) and today I tried my hand at these gift ribbons - not just one, but 16... And its not even as if I had nothing better to do today (like finish of the paper I am writing for Bible Study club tomorrow night, or preparing for the talk I am to deliver to the Western Australian Quilter's Association in two weeks, or draw pictures for a book I am supposed to be illustrating, or even just work on the next quilt design). But no, I spent my quiet time this afternoon making gift ribbons instead...I do have a logic to making so many items at once - it appeals to my sense of efficiency. I figure when I start that having pulled out my supplies and equipment and put my brain into gear, its much better use of my time to make many at once rather than just one. Unfortunately I just tend to go a bit overboard with just how many.
Anyway, if you are also inclined to set up a gift ribbon production line on your dining table, or even if you only want to make one, just click here for more info.

You're only making one baby aren't you?!
Haha, Prue! Yes, although I am big enough for three, the doctor has assured us its only one!
Sounds like you are good at procrastination! At least you have something to show for it! Unlike me who is trawling the internet rather than writing a job application or finishing the binding on a quilt...maybe I'll make some bows...
