Laundry is always a work in progress, so we'll start with that.
This picture is actually from last week, as any true lurker would be able to figure out by tracking down which day this puzzle came from.
But usually when I'm folding laundry this is how my table looks.
I used to fold while either watching a favorite program on TV at night with the kids or doing their French or some such thing with them. But now it's more of an alone task.
On to more interesting projects:
I have to have hand-work to fill my weekly 5 1/2 hours of Waiting For Bridget (dance lessons, orchestra practice…who can just sit and talk? Must. Be. Making.) If I can get this top together in time to take it along to hand-quilt, I'll be on my way to starting to tick off the babies on my quilting list, possibly before they are forced to take a wee cowboy quilt to college.
(Yes, I'm still working on Rosie's quilt, but it will be beyond the take-along stage very shortly. Have to be prepared! And yes, I used to do this even with babies around, although not as quickly. A little planning, a bag all packed with your supplies — knitting is easy to pick up at a moment's notice, I think — and you are good to go, even for 20 minutes while the baby naps. You will be so proud of yourself if you have something to work on — eventually, it will get done!)
This weekend my helpers gave me a leg up on some painting projects. These bookshelves came from Grandma's apartment. Let's see if they will work in the spot I have planned for them…
I forgot to take a true “before” picture — what else is new — with the 50s yellow checked cover and all. Therese gave me this little ironing board. It comes from back in… Indiana? …and really, would be ever so perfect in the house she has now, and I tried to tell her that, but too bad, it's mine now!
Wait until you see how my pantry/sewing room looks with this cutie in it!

I like this post. Sometimes I feel like it is disorganized of me to have quite so many things "in progress" at one time, but maybe it is just realistic.

I love those bookcases.
