Finishing up all the squares & borders? The excitement of the top quilting.. oh I can hardly stand it at that point. Mind you, I have to send mine away as they are usually 110x120 so they can't be done by me. but when I get them back, wash them in the machine and dry them... meeeeeps. So pretty your quilt.

Every day I keep telling myself to get my act together but at this stage it hasn't happened.<BR/>I was in a decent routine before school broke up last year but this year I have failed to hit the mark.<BR/>With working around 35-38 hours a week I really need to get it happening. Maybe this was just the thing I needed.

I am sure in a week or two you will be back into the swing, though I adore the projects you did finish.....it shouldn't be too hard to get back from there...just beautiful.<BR/>Stay cool tomorrow...what a horrible weather prediction....Kiss Noises LindaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1279379579628246458.post-2595399902564271592009-02-06T14:21:00.000+11:002009-02-06T14:21:00.000+11:00Kathryn, here's my tip for finding your creativity...Kathryn, here's my tip for finding your creativity - have a complete break. Do not enter the sewing room or even think about sewing. Set yourself a time period eg. 1 week and keep yourself busy doing other things. This ALWAYS works for me. I guarantee you will be eager to get back into it before the week is out. I hope that works for you too. Perhaps you just need to sit and enjoy the peace for a bit now that the boys are back at school.<BR/>Hugs,<BR/>KerryanneKerryanne @ Shabby Art Boutiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00092818124651152546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1279379579628246458.post-15530442144675761242009-02-06T13:51:00.000+11:002009-02-06T13:51:00.000+11:00Everything is gorgeous - and no you are not the on...Everything is gorgeous - and no you are not the only find out of routine!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14474507635893417550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1279379579628246458.post-35185658249491718902009-02-06T13:25:00.000+11:002009-02-06T13:25:00.000+11:00I want your sewing room lyn.

So much for not sewing.. I just keep at it in between watching the animals play runway in the house. So cold out I can't get them to burn their energy out there.

I have done NOTHING!! how bad is that, I sat down yesterday & tried to come up with some new ideas & finally manged a few but now have to figure out how to make them! I don't know, maybe its the weather, I do not have Air Con in this old Fibro house (HOT in Summer, COLD in Winter) & my wee sewing room heats up like an oven & it is not cooling down at night which is when I usually sew. So that is my excuse for now anyway.<BR/><BR/>The sewing you have done is beautiful as always.<BR/><BR/>Have a great weekend<BR/><BR/>Lyn xxxMy Pink & Cream Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16638390385400066656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1279379579628246458.post-539243222545557852009-02-06T12:19:00.000+11:002009-02-06T12:19:00.000+11:00All looks beautiful.I have completely lost my Craf...All looks beautiful.<BR/>I have completely lost my Crafting mojo...<BR/>Can't even think of what I want to create.A Bite of Country Cupcakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07337808881393976817noreply@blogger.com
