I haven't done as much crafting as I would like lately. I have done alot of thinking about what I might do, how I should spent my crafty time (procrastinating, if you like to label).
The annoying thing about my unfinished projects is that lots of them probably only have under one hours work left. I have been thinking about whether I should-
- Finish Annie's dress- need to do the elasticised side ties
- Finish my wave bottomed quilt top (picture of wave bottom another day!)- needs stitching around the embroidery,
- Back and quilt my Christmassy quilt
- Do some stamping on fabric (can you get ink pads for fabric stamping? If yes- where)
- Finish the shorts for me- the knees are uneven
- Make a skirt for my sister in law for Christmas
- Finish the 'nautical' cot quilt which really only needs binding.
So I thunk and thunk and thunk and then....
made some cards.
Read: started a new project!
I just realised that the top left card is Cheryl's card and I must have nicked it (by mistake) which means that I didn't win in the productivity stakes- she made 9 and I made 8, not vice versa (or wice werser as my German friends say) as I had been suggesting (ok- in a bragging way) to Cheryl!!
I hear you sista.
ReplyDeleteI've got lots of things that need the finishing touches too... but starting something new is so much fun!
Your cards are beautiful.
They are gorgeous. I'm the same- lots of projects started but I keep finding new ones. I've come to the conclusion that it is the result of a artsy fartsy personality!
ReplyDeleteOooooh, I am so glad its not just me paralysed by indecision - at least you make cards, when I don't know what to do first, I visit my favourite blogs and hours pass!!!!!!!! x
ReplyDeleteyou know i didnt even realise it was gone tan! lol

Tanya, Love the cards. What talent you have with paper, glue and scissors... something I am still working on. Hope you're having a restful weekend. xo m.
ReplyDeletethose cards are beautiful! i live less than 5 minutes from my favorite fabric store and last week i bought a whole bunch of fabric on sale for $2.97 a yard. Then today i went back because i had *coupons* AND they were having an additional 25% off sale. I left with *more* fabric and 2 new feet: invisible zipper and walking foot. I think I'm set for about 6 months of projects ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love your cards - especially the wonder ful stamp. I'd like to make cards, but it would entail making some rrom on my desk, which would mean tidying up my study, which is just such a huge undertaking that I can't even contemplate it. I am just hoping to get my CHristmas shopping done, and maybe even write some cards (and send them, not like last year when I just wrote them and left them on my desk!)P.S. ANy speliing mistakes are due to the hard apple cider I just drank - a new American joy.
ReplyDeleteThe cards are gorgeous... and a perfect example of some serious craft procrastination!
ReplyDeleteI have so many unfinished projects... not sure why, but I seem to lose interest in them once I have begun. Always more exciting starting something new. Your cards are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI've seen some fabric stamping ink for sale on etsy. Can't recall any particular stores, but if you just go to www.etsy.com and search you should be able to find some.
ReplyDeleteKnowing that it exists, I hesitatingly suggest that somewhere like lincraft or spotlight MIGHT have some. Or maybe a quilting store - ot at least be able to order it in. Maybe onling quilting stores might, too?
