I am immune to WWKD! :-(

This is nothing to be proud of.

All evening I have been trying to get up the desire to pick up those damned strapwork sleeves for the PDSvN dress. Poo. I want nthing to do with them. Well, that's not true... I want the to be DONE so I can move on, but I know if I put those off and move to another part of the dress I will never finish them.
I have laundry to do.
I have spring cleaning to do.
I have a daughter who needs dinner.
My hip hurts from sitting too long at my desk today.
I want to be sewing but I don't want to sew. I guess I to want to sew. 

Mostly I think, for the first time in many years, I am bummed faire is over.

Poo.

When I get this way I make a trip to the fabric store to get me some textile love! I always end up coming home and sewing on something.

The trouble with this is that I am trying to force myself to work on the projects I have on my table right now. I have a truck load of dusty grape cotton velveteen, ivory cut velvet, and black crewelwork on cream cotton to turn into a dress but if I unroll that stuff before getting further on the PDSvN I might as well give up on it, and I don't want to give up on it. :-(

Make cookies! Even though I can't eat them any more, I find cookies to be the answer to all "meh." And have your foxxy spouse rub the extra buttery dough all over that sore hip ;-) Cookies, they're not just for Claire any more!

Hi,
When things like that happens to me, i put it away, and start something else. Then when some time has passed, i take it out again, and see if i am inspired to finish it. It can be dangerous for me to force myself to finish a projekt i dont feel for because i risk that i will not do my best on it.'
Best solution is to put it away, and waite.

LOL! Yes, I usually do this as well. Sadly, I have at least one dress half done that I will never finish because it has been put away so long the cmpleted parts no longer satisfiy my design or construction ideals. *sigh* Oh well.

The thing about this dress is that I am excited about it and really WANT to work on it. I want to own it and to wear it. And I know that if I can just get this part figured out, I can book like crazy on it and finish it up fairly quickly. So, now I'm slapping myself over the sleeves I designed because I wasn't fond of the ones in teh book, when I could have made the ones in the book much easier. Bah.

It is good advice, Bjarne. Maybe I'll take it...
