The Distractions Are Many

I've finally come to realize that when I have that great hunger, as in obsession, to go shopping, to find new things and inspiration, it is really my greatest desire to steal away some creative time with what I already have.  It seems to have been a pattern for quite some time, as I have accumulated quite the stash of stuff, and I'm just now learning how to curb those urges and reward myself with what I am really craving, which is simple creative action.

 I love the rhythm  of the hand quilting, I just wish that it weren't so difficult for me to sit down and enjoy doing it.  Why is it that I feel so unproductive when I do handwork?  I guess that I'm addicted to the speed of the machine, and yet I am so ready for a change of pace.  Time to make some adjustments and see what creative things happen.

On the speedy side of things, here are a few Pinterest inspired projects that I finished up for Christmas,

Budget envelopes for my sister and a t-shirt scarf for my niece.

Now, I am going to just sit in the sunshine filled window and enjoy some quite handwork.

You are so patient! I can't do that. Sewing is the most difficult thing for me.
