Last week, projects flew off of my sewing machines. This week, I feel like I've been rolling boulders uphill on my sewing machine.
Every heap of fabric in my sewing room is a chunk of hours that I need to spend in my sewing room.
Last week, I had a sewing hang over from my productive weekend, but I still managed to get a few things done from Tuesday through Thursday night. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, I shifted my focus away from sewing, and spent a few lovely days on real life.
Monday has brought the return to productivity....Or at least,that was the plan....
But it took me forever to convince myself to sit down and sew. I needed to finish reading a book. I needed to do some laundry. I wanted a nap. (I laid in bed playing cell phone games, which is almost a nap)
Finally, I was ready to step up to my machine. I bribed myself up to the sewing room with caffeine, but I still didn't want to sew. So, I puttered. I moved the tv so that I could have more room to sew bindings. I sorted batting scraps, set up my new cutting mat, put away the spare. I got out my pre cut binding strips, and I thought, " Let me just sew these together..." And suddenly, sewing was the most fun thing, ever!!!!
Has anyone else had this experience either as part of my challenge, or simply at random? Happy sewing!!!!
