You may also be surprised to find out the time you spent. 15-20 minutes goes by fast when you're working on something.

I listen to audio bools while I sew. If my motivation wanes, a good audiobook will keep mr at the project or help me get started.

Well.... I'm doing it!!! I'm in my "craft cave" for the night and in not coming out until I get something accomplished!! I've got a cup of tea and the second season of ER and I'm getting to work. I've already got the fabric for my niece's Playtime quilt serged and in the washer, and while it's in the dryer, I'm gonna either start my placemats or do one of the receiving blankets.

Tomorrow we've got a quiet day. I'm running a rag quilt my mom made to the laundromat for her and then heading to my Hubby's grandma's house to visit for a bit. When we get home I'm heading straight upstairs to get to work. My goal for the weekend is to get this Playtime quilt done and at least progress made on another project.

Also, I made a plan. Since it's so hard for me to get into my craft cave during the week, I'm reserving Monday to Thursday nights for knitting and weekends for sewing (unless I'm almost done with a knitting project that I can finish up over the weekend). I'm really gonna push myself to stick with it!

Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions!!! It was just what I needed to get my mojo back

I have the opposite problem. I can sit an sew all day and not be motivated to do anything else. I do force myself to do other things but I want to just sit and sew all day, every day.

Well... I got the top done for the Playtime cuddle quilt. Didn't get as much done this weekend as I had hoped, but I did do something which makes me feel good.


Oh, and one of the "distractions" today was taking a rag quilt my mom made to the laundromat for her. It's absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! I wish I would have snapped a picture before I dropped it off to her today. She's the source of my passion for crafts (especially sewing) and I hope to be as good as she is one day
