I must have crafters' ADD!!!!

Here is a stack of my black and white fabrics that I am looking through and taking a little strip off the side to add to my latest project...

oh! and there are more waiting on the shelves....
I didn't take a photo of my reds, but here is my red bathrobe complete with loose threads from an early morning in-my-pajamas sewing session where I was hunkered down for a couple of hours in my sewing room, while Mr. U participated in bill-paying day.

Some of my scraps are ready to go...

and the teeny weeny leftovers go here in my little on the hanging-over-the-sewing-table trash sac...
and more in the trash bag on the floor...
Remember this assortment from the other day?


I keep adding them into a bag to keep for safe keeping...


and all of a sudden, I have this...

courthouse steps 'quilt' 10/4/08



I actually have one more, but it was too complicated to add to the mosaic!


But not to spend the entire day in blacks and whites, I have to start thinking of another project for a Halloween-themed swap...

(these are actually my pajama bottoms!) ... hoping for some inspiration!!!

And another project that I decided to start today....
(I don't seem to have enough projects going on at one time cuz... I must have crafters' ADD!

sigh........ it's a real problem!!!!)

But I did manage to get outside some!

I found these berries growing on the overgrown bushes in the backyard...

these on the deck....
and this sunset over the mountains, from my mirror...
as I still seem to do a lot of taxiing around of children!

And finally, a bit of good news, at least for Nature Boy and our pocketbook....
he will only need 7 teeth extracted by the dentist (getting ready for orthodontia), as one big honkin' molar fell out tonight!!!! (and there isn't enough time tonight for another project... a tooth fairy pillow!!!)

  11. WOW! That quilt is going to be fabulous! You certainly do have crafter's ADHD but it's a very productive form of it apparently!

  13. I think it is safe to say we all have crafters ADD. . .or rather an addiction. We have so many great ideas and so little time, that is the real issue! THOSE blocks are looking great, btw. I'm liking them lots. Thanks for the feedback on my new format over at DQ, I appreciate it.

    Happy sewing!
