For the last week I've been busy juggling some work assignments, which have totally eaten into my crafting hours. But since I enjoy my work, I don't mind entirely. (The days when I can do both, however, are truly the best.)
And, wouldn't you know it, when I finally stole a few moments to cut out my purple fabric so I could begin sewing my new skirt, I discovered I had bought way too little of the fabric. Like a quarter to a half a yard less than what I needed. Eeesh! I guess I should be lucky that this hasn't ever happened before, but there went my plans to start my skirt.
Given the work assignments, I haven't had time to get to the fabric store and get some more fabric. Instead of sitting at the sewing machine, I'm spending my crafting downtime sitting at my computer and scrolling through new-to-me sewing and quilting blogs, on the couch flipping through the new issue of Threads magazine and simply daydreaming about all the new things I'm hoping to make.
I know I can't be the only one who finds they don't always have time to craft. So have at it readers:
What's your plan for when you get sew or knit or be otherwise crafty on a particular day? How do you get your craft fix, without picking up any threads or yarn? And what's your favorite crafting blog?
BTW, is anyone else following the sewing contest over at Sew Mam Sew? I can't wait to see what the contestants have come up with for the final round of competition. So far the designs have been outstanding and the quality of the garments superb!
