The Sewing Mom

We are all ready heading into the middle of February and I feel like I’ve not accomplished much of anything since the new year began.

Honestly, I haven’t sewn a stitch.  I did pull out a couple of patterns, read them over, set them down and haven’t looked at the since.  I just really haven’t had the desire to work on anything and I feel like that needs to change!

Last year I pieced a quilt that I donated to the high school softball team.  It was then auctioned off and the proceeds donated to breast cancer research.  I wanted to make something smaller this year, maybe a tote bag, but donations are due this Friday and I haven’t even pulled fabric out.  That’s actually what I was supposed to be doing today, but just can’t get a move on.  I find myself watching a movie on t.v. with my husband or sitting here, on the computer.  I tell myself I’m being productive, sorting through emails, paying some bills, etc., but honestly, I think I’m just killing time.  I did work a short shift this morning, cleaned the kitchen and did 2 loads of laundry.  It’s not like I have been a total slug, but I do feel like one!

That’s it!  I’m posting this nonsense and then cleaning off my sewing cabinet.  I have 2, yes 2, sewing machines staring at me wondering why they haven’t been turned on in months.  I’m getting off here now, getting back to fabric and trying to accomplish something although I’m not at all sure what that will be!
