Resolution Review: January

Since we’ve reached the end of January (ALREADY!) I thought it would be a good time to check in and take stock of what I’ve accomplished this month.  I think the resolution to blog more and sew more is going rather well…don’t you? 12 blog posts: Whew! Well, that happened… So many palettes, so little time And the winner is…! Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey…Stuff Timey Wimey Shark Block of the Month? No, that’s not right. … Continue reading

Timey Wimey Shark Block of the Month? No, that’s not right.

Thank you everyone for the votes on my color palette for the Skill Builder BOM!  As of this morning, the macaw palette has 71% of the votes, vs. 29% for the hummingbird set.  No one voted for scrapping both palettes and starting over so I’m thankful for that. Last night, I popped into G Street Fabrics and picked up my six yards of (dark) natural background fabric.  I don’t have 6 yards of ANY fabric … Continue reading

Burn Out

If you are friends with me on Facebook, which I have to assume most of my readers are, you’ve seen the seemingly endless posts about costumes, costumes and more costumes.  I am so burnt out.

To be honest, I don’t think I want to see the sewing room floor, or any … Continue reading

Sorting it all out

I’m running into the problem that caused me to make the to do list of doom: too many projects in the works and feeling overwhelmed.  I have a lot of things I want to work on this weekend and I need to prioritize.  I have serveral projects I’m being paid for that are not particularly inspiring, but I’m being paid for them and I need a pay day so I can continue with my other … Continue reading

Where do I begin…

Clearly, this blog isn’t working for me.  I don’t know what it is.  I’ve been sewing, not as much as I would like, but still…sewing.  I have things I could post about, and I don’t. Maybe I got out of the habit.  Maybe I’m just uninspired to write.  I can’t put my finger on it.  BUT, I’m not ready to give up yet! I do think part of me is a little OVER-stimulated.  There are … Continue reading
