Why indeed?

I was Christmas shopping with my daughter today and we passed a big stack of sewing machines, so she turns to me and says, "Mommy, why don't you sew anymore?"

Why indeed.

It doesn't help that I'm sick as a dog right now, but I've barely sewn a stitch since that suit sucked the life out of me for Costume College. I have stuff I need and want to work on but I just can't make myself sit down and do it. I keep accumulating supplies for the latest projects but the machine stays unplugged. My brain is actually doing all the things it does when I'm working on something, like spinning through construction processes while I'm trying to get to sleep, but then I don't do any of them when I'm awake.

What do you guys do to get you back in the mood?

Maybe that will do it. I have a client waiting in the wings and I've been mulling his designs in my head. If I have to drag all my stuff out for him I might just do it for me, too.

It definitely helps to feel both obligated to sew and to have a time frame to get it done in! Keeps the fire lit under ya!
