Got The Itch

Probably because it's been a little fall like outside, but I have the sewing itch.

I want this, exact blanket. Isn't it spectacular. So I think I need to copy it and make one like it.




And this.




I have this insane amount of fabric I have been hording wondering what is worthy of it's beauty and too afraid to cut into because once I do I will think of something BETTER to do with all of it. Sometimes I just lay it all out and look at it, and then neatly fold it back up. But this particular time thought I'd take a picture of some of it to show you (Talane) and tell you my plans, as if you care :)

A lot of these are going to be little dresses for Indie because they are only half yards or so. Call me crazy but spider web (no not for Halloween) dresses just seem... me. And when I saw the spider web/butterfly fabric I knew Indie needed some clothing out of it.


I got these to make myself skirts, but when it attempted a practice one I failed. Miserably.
So.. these tigers will be pillows and pillowcase dresses/shirts someday.


Someday soon these little gems will be draped across my body in the cold. And the rest of the unicorns will be on Indie. (but don't tell Piper. Her size uses too much fabric and I am not that rich.)


I have had this for a year now. Yep, a year to the month. It's been awaiting to be made into a nice cozy flannel quilt. I'll get right on that..


More stuff, started and not finished. Neatly put away for a few months.


You see, the problem is, is I have THIS in my bedroom (that doubles as a sewing room) and it stares at me every time I open my eyes for a new day and close them to end a day. Haunting me with dreams of the freedom to practice my new found hobby of quilting and showing me my unfinishedness. I am a finisher too. I finish projects, up until I met Miss Lou..



But I did manage to finish this quilt that I started the month I moved in my house and bought the fabric for in the spring. Good track record. Six month projects.. guess that is the average I am on.


And to think: All I want to do today is go to the fabric store and buy more fabric. Ridiculous?
