That Sherri Berry fabric could not be cuter. As someone that has restless leg syndrome, I so know that feeling. And sometimes I get home from work all ready to do a project in the evening and I end up sitting in my sewing room looking at fabric and not DOING anything. I hate that wasted time feeling. I can so relate.

Well…..
I’m making a list. Does that count?
I plan to make a couple sets of covered padded hangers for my SIL’s. I have an embroidered softie doll stitched for the grandangel. I’ll be shopping for my glass icicles soon to give to each of my kids and to attach to a few gifts. I’m still working on Thanksgiving.

Let’s see…I’m making aprons for all my girls, these easy and cute little fabric wallets,and necklaces. The necklaces are finished. I’ve done most of my shopping and have already wrapped them. I had to get them out of my sewing room so I could move on to sewing projects. I’ve got to find boxes to do some mailing too.

Decorating takes me a while and I’m planning on doing lots of entertaining.

Have any ideas of presents for the neighbors? I haven’t thought of anything this year. Two years ago, I made “bed buddies” for everyone with a personal letter full of the things I love about them. That took some time but everyone seemed to like it. Last year I bought Christmas music CD’s. I need some inspiration this year or else it is back to making my mom’s English Toffee.

Ohhhh, I love the beautiful reindeer fabric! I found a link to this video from Quilt Mania Magazine the other day, that I’ve been meaning to send over in case you might like to see it. Its a video interview of Kaffe Fasset in his studio.

You said it exactly right…indecision about starting projects and all the what-if’s is one of my biggest problems!

No hsndmade gifts for me this year. Too layzy & too uninspired. I know! there are plenty of ideas out there, but like you … where to start??
I just sneak quietly away, lest the fabrics haul me back…

I know the feeling. Well, not about those presents, ofcourse, but I know the feeling of waiting for inspiration, or better said: having tons of inspiration and being afraid to choose one project, because that would mean other projects would not get chosen..yet. But I don’t worry about that anymore. Recently I started to just do whatever I wanted to start and then finish it, without thinking about other things. And it feels so great!

I hope your restless legs will soon be joyfully running again ;-)

I hate to say it, but that old sickening feeling in the pit of my stomach has already set in, and I blame the malls, the stores, the advertisers, on and on! How is it possible to feel “Joy” when we begin our panic on Halloween instead of the day after Thanksgiving and it goes right through to New Year’s Day? Stop The Madness!

OK, I feel better now, and as soon as Frannie is fast asleep, I’m going to work on some Christmas projects that I started a week ago. Inspiration hit and now I can’t stop!

S.W.A.K.

P.S. - I agree - you do have wonderful photos!
