Button down the hatches and start sewing...

It could be the nicotine withdrawal craziness.  Or the "I haven't had a nights sleep where I actually slept more than 20% of the night for over a week now" craziness.  But then I'm quite sure there's many who'd question my sanity without either of the above so I'll get to the point.

I'm challenging myself with a few things.  Possibly a few too many things!  However, I've thought this through, and I have a cunning plan...

First off, I've signed up to take part in my lovely bee friend Susan's swap, the Modern Christmas Table Runner Swap.  I haven't done a table runner before, I LOVE the Modern take on Christmas idea, the group is already full of a very interesting bunch and should be a laugh, and finally, well, its Susan - and she's bound to pair me up with someone (almost) as nuts as me....

Its back!  Brit Quilt Swap is back for round two, and this time its a fight... a pillow fight!  We're going to be swapping pillow (that's cushion for the British...) covers.  Well, I managed to make one for the last swap I was in so I'm not too scared ;-)  And again, its a great group of folk.  

Add to that the fact that I now have 9 days to get my Japanese Scrap Challenge completed...  And I have 3 mini quilts to do for a friend.  And a whole load of other things still waiting...  

So in an effort to push myself, and (I hope) give me an extra bit of a nudge this month, I'm also signing up for Blogtoberfest...

I can tell you right now, with my condition a post every single day is so unlikely its laughable, but, I hereby promise to make every effort to do a post every other day.  I hope fellow Bloggers taking part don't mind my apparent half assed attempt!  I'm afraid "every other day" is more than enough of a challenge for me!
The end of October will be my one year blogging anniversary, so I'm hoping this will make my 12th month a little different.  I will no doubt have days where I struggle, I know that before I start!  With that said, I put it to you, dear readers, to feel free to leave a comment with a question or post subject for me to blether about if and whenever you think of something.  It can be absolutely anything.  Whether or not I take your challenge is however up to me :-P  
So.  If this is a disaster I apologise.  If you get some utter nonsense posts, I apologise.  If you get some substandard boring "this is how bad my narcolepsy has been today" posts, I apologise.  If we get half way through October and my blog has become the most mind numbingly awful drivel in Quiltyblogland I shall bow out.  Just please don't desert me!  It'll all be back to normal soon enough ;-)
Secondly, if you find this month that I'm not commenting on YOUR blog quite as much as normal, please please take no offence.  Rest assured I'll be reading!
