Last week, I read this post by Heidi from Fabric Mutt, where she suggested getting a pen and paper and making a list of the things that inspire your sewing. It was actually the picture, a sheet of paper headed "Right Now I'm Loving...." that caught my attention.
I should make a list of the projects I want fabric for -- my red quilt, Teenage Daughter's low volume quilt, Little Trips, the bow ties.... That way, when I find some time up in the sewing room, I might actually have a better idea what I'm looking for. It's a great idea. Now I just need to grab a pen and my planner and make the list. (Not that I don't have plenty of lists of what I'm working on and what I want to be working on, but what I need right now is a current one.)
Five days later, I still haven't pulled out my planner. But I have made twenty-seven blocks for this week's baby quilt, so at least I've done something quilty!

I keep thinking I should list the next projects I want to make but I haven't done it yet either.
