Ah, who am I kidding? I don’t have anything to show this week.
I did just start cutting a skirt out of this ADORABLE vintage kitty fabric for Addie. I have had the fabric in my stack for awhile now and had planned on making some cute pillows for Ad’s room, but she saw the fabric the other day and pleaded with me to make her a “kitty cat skirt! Pleeease, Mama?”
Yeah, I can’t say no to that. So we are making a skirt.
I also started my lounge pants. And I am thinking I’m going to make superhero capes for Addie and Alexander – the September birthdays we have coming up. I saw these capes in the Chasing Fireflies catalog and am so making them (for much cheaper than $48, too!).
So there are definite possibilities, but no definite projects to show today. I’m actually really struggling to get the important stuff done this week. I have a seriously long list of to-dos this week. But instead I’m “putzing” about. Cleaning closets. Why am I cleaning out Addie’s closet when I should be doing the laundry or cleaning the kitchen? I’m just not sure. Not a lot of focusing going on around here. And honestly? I’m counting down the days til Emma starts school (Wednesday…tomorrow! Wheeeee!) The refereeing is really starting to get to me. I think two straight weeks of togetherness has made all of us girls a little on edge. We are ready for a break!
So tune in next week. I’m bound to have some goodies to share. But be sure to leave a comment if you have do have something to show today!
Your craftiness will pick up again and the focus will return. But, for now go with it……………….cleaning IS and CAN BE a get away =)
Those capes are so cute. Perfect for the birthday girl. I really need to clean out closets and drawers, but have been putting it off.
I have a little something up.
Wasn’t it just ONE YEAR ago that someone on this space was dreading the first day of school??
Now, looking forward to it, and counting the days. . . .
I do! I do! It not sewing related because I’m still sewing machine challenged – but I did something! Wee!
Those are some cute capes, but yeah you can do it MUCH cheaper. I love chasing fireflies for their ideas. Good fodder for the creative! Can’t wait to see what you produce. I have a bunch of stuff cut out, so hopefully I can start in on some of it soon. I’m not holding out ANY hope for this week at this point. I’ve got too much stuff to look at and decide on for the basement. Ah well, in a few weeks I will have some time to do it…hopefully!
I totally relate to working on inconsequential details when there’s a long to-do list waiting to be tackled. Sometimes it seems like the more I need to do, the less I actually do. I am such a procrastinator!
Even though I haven’t taken any pictures, I finished 12 pages of Will’s book at the crop on Sunday, then did three or four more pages Mon night…. I’m so close to the end, I can taste it. We’re supposed to be getting rain all day today, so maybe if I can get some work done around here this morning, I’ll do a few more!
