Commentary about works in progress, design & creativity
Periodically, I look at my design and think “there is enough here for a post”, so here is that post. The last post I wrote about what was on my design wall was earlier this year. You can find it on the April 1, 2013 post. My cup runneth over. Well, my design wall runneth … Continue reading “What’s on the Design Wall”
Yes, I am a listmaker. Soon you will see that I will get overwhelmed by the lists I am posting and I will abandon some of them. As I mentioned last month, this list was a way to get me back in the saddle after, what felt like, a non-sewing October. This is separate from … Continue reading “To Do List – 2013 December”
It has been awhile since I posted an update on this project. Nonnie asked about it during the Black Friday Sew-in and I thought it would be a good time to do an update. I am shocked that the last time I posted about this project was in September. I am also shocked that it … Continue reading “Fabric of the Year -Early December 2013”
I am just squeaking this update in under the wire. I almost forgot to post an update this month. Perhaps remembering is a sign I am getting back on track? I am thinking about changing the name of this post in the new year. Freshen it up a bit to reflect the progress I have … Continue reading “26 Projects List – November 2013 Update”
When I know I will have a block of time to sew, I like to be prepared. I have a block of time on Friday and am not really prepared. I am always a little prepared, because I keep stuff around to sew to get me in the mood, get me out of a slump, … Continue reading “What to Work on…”
If you haven’t heard, I wanted to let you know that there will be a Black Friday Sew-in on Friday 11/29. It is a way to sew with friends and stay in your pajamas. Many participants will be starting the latest Bonnie Hunter Mystery quilt, Celtic Solstice. Many people will be catching up on Scrapitude … Continue reading “Black Friday Sew-in Info”
I feel so discombobulated. Not only is the machine still gone, but I was also out of town unexpectedly for a week. I am, now, not sure I know what I need to do or how to do it. I am definitely out of my element and out of my habit of sewing. I thought … Continue reading “To Do List”
I still have 7 projects on my WIPs list, but only 3 (4?) of them are really old. Two projects, from the “In the Quilting” stage, are ready for binding. I am still kind of in awe at how much progress I have made since I counted up my UFOs for the first time and … Continue reading “26 Projects – October Update”
The Happy Face signifies me not being insane. The Sad Face is because of the ‘missing’ machine. Again. I posted something similar on Twitter a few weeks ago. I wasn’t worried, because I was planning on being out of town and I could get the machine back relatively soon after I returned. When I dropped … Continue reading “Happy Face Sad Face”
I just noticed that I have only 7 projects on my WIPs list. I have really made progress, which is a good reminder that I need to focus my efforts on not filling up the list again. I don’t mind having a couple of projects going at once, but I don’t want projects that are … Continue reading “26 Projects – September 2013 Update”
