I sewed Rileys costume for Hallowen..it was like getting bitten by a little bug. Since then I've been feeling like sewing or creating/crafting. I started dieting last year and shifted from creating to working out. Any spare time I had I would bike, swim, walk/jog...Now I feel the creative coming back, I just don't have a direction yet. Should I pick up an older project that needs to be completed? Or start a new project...Christmas is only 1 1/2 months away. Then, I have all of these home projects to do.
This morning I cut some fabric for a hand bag pattern...but it calls for Buckram...
I don't have any and I actually had to google it to find out exactly what it was. I figured(by the discription in the pattern that it was a stabilizer).
It's actually very stiff and will make a handbag stand up and keep it's shape. I'm going to have to get some at the fabric store.
While I was online checking I found a cute blog....sewserendipity. Lot's of cute sewing ideas. This lady makes "now" patterns. Things that are home-sewn, but look cute and modern. So then I checked out blog pages and images...and there went that hour.
Anyways...I have too many things that are going on in my head. Thinking of what to do next makes me think of things I need to get done before I have "fun"..the responsible mom in me it saying "housework first". The kids need clean clothes to wear and dishes to eat off of. Plus all of the extra things that I have started(but not finished): orginizing my closet. I've started, but not finished, cleaning and orginizing the kids play rooms. I have started, but not finished ?# of quilts and quilt tops. I've started, but not finished re-doing the storage stuff and tools in the garage. I've started, but not finished my garage sale project. I had one garage sale and put the things in boxes for another. The back yard needs alot of work..which I've started, but -you know. My bar-b-q needs new propane. I have so many things that I just need to pick one and get it done before working on other things. Because as it is, nothing is getting done because I've started too many things. I think I need to work on something that really needs doing before I start another project. I need to pack up the Halloween decorations and ..
uhhhhhhhh...this is making me depressed.
I guess instead of sitting here on the computer I should get my day started.
First thing: make a list of what I want to do today/this week. I actually can get alot done because I am closing shift at work. So after the kids go to school I have 5 hours to myself.
List:
1. Mt. Laundry
2. Pack up Halloween
3. Work on the Garage
4. Dishes
5. Vaccum doggies hair
and
6. Pick up some buckram for later
7. exchange the propane tank
..okay that'll be today. I guess I've decided to be Mom/wife today instead of crafty sewing lady.
I better get started
