Getting back in the groove

It's been a whole week since I have been in my sewing room!

I was doing lots of other fun things this past week.

It's funny how you need to ease yourself back

into the routine of your life when you have

been playing with other distractions.

I needed to make more strips of fabric

for my basket . . . so that was a good place to start.

Then I was having trouble focusing on where I wanted to go next,

so I decided to make some fabric for the

15 Minutes Play Blocks of the Month

that I need to complete.

This kind of sewing loosens you up and gets you going again.

Looking for your MOJO?

Try this. It'll jump start you.

I find that I make a bunch of smaller sections

and then piece those together with fillers.

Is that ADD? I can't stick with one thing start to finish?

I think I will call it my creative process!

I also have been cleaning up the sewing room

and setting things up for a little

sewing retreat this weekend.

I have two buddies coming up from the city this weekend

for sewing, giggling, eating, maybe some wine . . .

of course some wine!

I'm sure we will get SOME sewing done,

but I know there will be lots of laughs too.

Do you sometimes need to jump start your creative juices?

What works for you?
