Good Angel, Bad Angel

Today was a good day! Anytime I get to spend time with M is good. The added benny of stopping by T's was a great beginning to the day! She has a bright spirit. With her permission, I have to say she had me cracking up talking about her and M being the "good angel" and the "bad angel" of sewing. At least they're both angels! Honestly though, (and I know they both are reading this but it's still my blog and I can type if I want to!) they both bring such a benefit to my sewing. T says, "YOU CAN DO IT! EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO DO IT TWICE!" Woohoo says me!
M says, Yes, you can do it, but we will be doing it right. Ok, my motto in my home to the kids is the old "a job worth doing" motto, so I really do like to do it right. Though I may be a little lazy or impatient. Not sure which really. (Don't answer that)

I wish I were a better finisher though, and if I didn't take on such difficult projects (as M keeps gently reminding me that I do) I would probably be better at it.

She has such skill as a teacher, I truly feel blessed by her in my life. I like that I can revert to childlike behavior with her and she just patiently nods or laughs. (lips pursed)
(In whiny voice) "But your colors are prettier than mine. This is too hard. What if I can't do it. What if I mess everyone's up. I want mine to be the best." Lol
I hope she realizes I am just doing that for effect. I really DO know how to be mature.

She is probably like, I already have two children.
I had such a fun time choosing fabric with her. We joked with the check out lady that we were doing a friendship quilt but we weren't sure we'd all still be friends in the end. HaHa

After even lamenting to T that I was linear and didn't want to have too many different blocks, she brilliantly explained that this could be an "instructional quilt" for the girls. To point out different block styles and even use to help them choose blocks for their own projects.
Hmmm, that is a GREAT idea! Now it makes sense in my head that they don't have to be just so. My Mom always said that I needed things explained to me and then I would adjust.
Probably why M and I work out so well together. I like things just so. Done right. Looking good. But I have T's spirit! Let's do it!!Yeah! Right now! Who cares!!!
Good angel, bad angel...
Ah, diversity. Ain't it great?

No worries M, I am already preheating the iron. ;)
