Still snowing so what to do......................

The last couple of days I have spent wishing I was in the mood to sew. I have not made that step yet but.......what I have done is to go through my fabric stash. That can sometimes inspire me. What I have done is to put together some fabrics with the intent of starting a few projects. The one in progress needs borders and I think I may have found something.


That one will be a lap quilt I think. If I had a place for it I would make it bed size but I also have to try to remember how to tie a quilt. It's been awhile. I may need to get Edna over here to help me. Moral support at least.
I have a few lap quilts yet to do. I now know Haley is into baking and so I have found some fabric that I already had and have found a few things that will (I think) go with it.



I also found another piece with a cooking theme. So I am thinking I may make that into a beach bag. Not sure really. I have another one cut out and partly stitched that I started when Haley was in school haha........long ago now. I didn't take a picture of that. This is the one that I am not sure yet what to do with.

I am hoping that the bags will go quickly. Just tote bags at this point. Just to use up the fabric. I have promised myself I won't buy any more fabric until I use some of my stash up. I also need to really get into sewing before I can justify buying anymore.
This combo will make a couple of nice bags, reversible I hope

Then there are these combos that would be either or.....lap quilts or bags?


I have so much to get done.

These seem to have much the same colours in them. I want to make several small projects. Pot holders and those cute little baskets to hold hot bowls. Oh I collect patterns and books so have all I need but the enthusiasm. However the fabric helps. I just got to get it done. Got to............
Meanwhile I have been drawing. Doing way to much of that. I have stopped painting them. Filled two books without painting. Just can't stop.........I am not even doing details.




As you see, I spend a lot of time on Pinterest. I like to find things to draw on there. These give me ideas to make cards. I do paint those. There again, I end up not doing them because I have no outlet for the cards.






Well that's what I have been doing. Nothing special. I hope I can get my mind in the mode I need to get the sewing started and finished. There is another snow storm coming so I may as well get started. I have made two pillow cases for Teal in this cat fabrics, only had a small piece of each so it was the ideal thing to make.


Think I will make a couple of bags to send with them.
