Free time - what's that? I simply don't have enough of it (but who does, right?). As much as I love these long, laid back summer days, the late suppers and even later bedtimes is killing my creative time. For the past two nights I have attempted to work on sewing projects, and as soon as I start I have to pick everything up because it's too darned late. I suppose battling a cold/sinus thing isn't helping much. If I felt better I'm sure I would have not given much thought to my own bedtime.
Anyway, I tried to start the polka dot quilt. I got my solid strips and polka dot strips cut. Most of them. I'm still waiting on a few dots to arrive on my doorstep. I'm not following a pattern on this one, just doing as I please. The dots I'm missing are some key colors that I want mixed in, so I'm sorta stuck at the moment on that one.
With the dot quilt on hold, I briefly thought about working on the red zig zag quilt, but I wasn't feeling it. Then I decided to work on a new bag pattern I was playing with on paper last week. I pulled some fabrics from my stash then pulled out my pattern pieces. What the??? I couldn't remember what I was going for. The pieces made no sense to me. I swear, my brain has turned to mush (or maybe it was the cold medicine simultaneously hyping me up and dumbing me down). After a while I figured it out, but by then I wasn't in the mood to cut into fabric. Oh well, that's how it goes.
Ever since vacation I seem to have lost my groove - and I want it back! Now! I'm determined, my sewing machine WILL see some action soon.
