The Sewing Mom

I am feeling a bit stagnant lately and think I need to find some inspiration to get my creative juices flowing again!

We had house guests over the summer and my sewing room was reset in a way to accommodate people sleeping in it rather than sewing in it. In other words, it was converted into a guest room. Since then, my daughter has decided that she enjoys using it as a “sleepover” room whenever she has a friend spend the night because it has 2 twin beds in it. The problem is, when the beds are all set up, it doesn’t leave me much room for sewing and no room for a cutting table. Plus, I feel obligated to keep it neat & clean (i.e., none of my fabric stash spread out, no sewing machine sitting out, no scissors & thread choices, etc) for whenever anyone wants to sleep in there. Having all of my fabrics put away in closed cabinets means that I can’t see them for inspiration. No sewing machine ready to go at a whim makes me feel like I have to get everything set up before I can begin creating, that can feel like too much work and stops me in my tracks.

I do think that I need to put the beds back the way they were and reset my room for sewing, that would be a start. Who knows, maybe when the quilt kit I ordered online gets here (maybe it will be delivered today!), I will find reason to put my foot to the pedal and SEW!!
