There's plenty of stressful stuff going on around here, so I feel like I'm juggling balls left, right and centre. We're at the tail end of a massive revamp of my craft room, which I'd love to show off when I'm in a better frame of mind. It's all good, but I feel like all I've been doing in here lately is assembling flat packs and moving stuff. I have plenty of sewing I 'should' be doing but very little motivation, cos sometimes the WIP list can be very overwhelming.
Here is my sewing table.... see if you can spot the sewing machine. Inspiring, huh... not bloody much!
The only thing I haven't had time for lately is sewing. And when I don't do something creative I find myself getting very grumpy. When I go to work contemplating fabric, I know it's time for some quality time with my machine.
So tonight, I'm putting on my jammies, breaking out the chocolate, pulling out some fresh, new fabric and making goodness-knows-what. I'll turn off the computer and plug in the ipod instead and I'll spend some quality time playing. Not on anything I have to be doing, either. I might even (gasp!) start something totally new.
Hope you get time to do what makes you happy, too.
Oh dear - you definitely need some sewing time! I hope you managed to fit some in last night after all! And hey - quilt group's only two more sleeps away!
ReplyDeleteI found most of July was a sewing desert and so this week I have been back hard at it - and I agree I am much happier when I create something with fabric. Liking what I see of your selvedge quilts though. Bit too big for sewing machine covers don't ya think?
