When the child of the house doesn't nap, not much else gets done, including my dreams of sewing.
Slow progress on my grain sack pouf. Its like he knows I want to get something done.
But I did rip seams out of 5 more bags. Only 5 more to go now. Then wash, then iron, then sew, then piece, then cut...oh boy!!!
Today is record highs, with warnings to stay indoors. So it will be a very long day cooped up in the house.
Child also woke up at 5:30 AM, oh well that led me out to get coffee early before the heat really got going.
Thanks to a new follower, I am also slightly obsessed with The Princess and the Pea.
I think I have to make a little play set. Oh what fun it will be to make little colorful mattresses to stack on top of each other.
I really have a ton of ideas swirling thru my head and I think this summer is really a summer to get stuff done. I seem to be in a good pattern and hope it continues.
I love sewing and I love fabric. The last couple of weeks I find myself at the local quilt shop a lot.
I go in and daydream of all the things I could make if I had more time. I fall in love with all the whimsical patterns. Some are bold and fun and others are very traditional country. I don't know how my brain works and why it is so attracted to such a wide spectrum of colors and patterns.
I just go with it.
Crossing my fingers a nap happens today...and not when I am in the shower ;)

Hi Amy - I am VERY much looking forward to seeing your finished grain sack pouffe. I well remember having to work around small childrens sleeps & crossing your fingers that it happens. Its hard to continue to be creative when its like that but go with your flow as you seem to be in a really good creative place just now. Sending you warm (cool) wishes across the globe & hoping you get some me-time to do your sewing. Luv/Hugs Julie :-)
Stay cool and inside, yes, that is best. Going out in this heat is crazy!
I cannot wait to see your pouffe!!
