Alas a slight cold, family get togethers, Christmas shopping and inertia has taken precedence over the sewing. Then there was needing to get a new computer and get it set up. I'm just disappointed that time is slipping by. I will not be able to make dolls until after Christmas. I need to make a few cards and send them out. Twice I have taken my patterns to the sewing group at church, to use the tables there afterwards, to cut them out. Then I decided to get home.
It is good that I have gotten myself out of the house more. I live alone and then work out of my home. In the last two weeks I went out quite a few times, including the training for tutoring in the men's jail.
I have so many unfinished sewing projects. It's a waste of money! How to keep me in the dining room/ sewing room which is also filled with ebay storage? I'd hate to think I needed a TV in there to keep me motivated. Putting the baseboard heaters on does help in winter. It's easy enough to put music in the little boombox. I think I also need to bring in a different chair. The dining room chair and table are just not comfortable to sew at for any length of time. I have a somewhat broken but adjustable chair in the office I will try out. I need to be fully awake with a clear head to cut out these princess dresses with their contrasting panels and overlays.
Once I get started on projects that are easy for me, I can chug along and finish them. When I'm afraid it won't fit or turn out the way I want it to, I think I put off finishing it. It's harder to sew for people you don't live with because you can't check the fit.
I wrote out a list and prioritized. The princess dress for my granddaughter is priority for the Christmas sewing. I won't need the second dress for her until a month later.
This is just a test.
