Well, the creative slump seems to be over. We are now back in “Got way too many ideas/inspirations than humanly possible to accomplish in the next ten years” mode.
This is evidenced by the state of my workdesk, which has a dizzying array of pending projects.
The thing I MOST want to tackle next is the article that’s in the upper right. It’s from an old Threads magazine and tells how to draft pants based just on your measurements. There’s a lot of math involved, but I like math so it sounds like fun. The blue and brown fleece fabrics (on the bottom of the pile) are destined to be aiding in the perfection of said pants pattern.
The silver stripe and the leopard print are from Fabric.com. I was utterly inspired when I ordered them, but now I’ve forgotten what I planned to do with them. No fear – they WILL be something fabulous. Just to figure out what….
The blue fleece was on sale at Joanne’s today, as was the pattern. I was thinking I could make something interesting with the leftover brown and blue fleece once the pants were done. Ummm, yeah, a patchwork fleece?
The white felt is for a muslin for a felted wool sweater I started thinking about last winter. Sheesh, a little late, eh? Or early for this year. Ha.
Then there’s Tim’s October tag to do, a new polymer clay extruder to play with, several pieces of jewelry to repair… I’m getting tired, thinking about it all. So it’s time for bed.
In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been making a lot of jewelry videos lately and decided to leave my video making/picture taking area permanently set up.
My cat thinks that’s just the bestest idea…
Yes, Oliver, you are VERY photogenic. ====sigh====
Trudging off to get the lint brush.
Seriously, I’m for bed. If hubby and son are both away tomorrow I’ll start on that pants pattern. (It requires wearing a leotard to take the measurements and they surely don’t want to see that.)
Meanwhile, have a wonderful What’s on Your Workdesk Wednesday!
Golly, you have a lot of fabric there. I like math, too, so that would not be a problem. What WOULD be a problem is, I tear all my fabric. I’m not a seamstress, just a crafter. Sounds like you have other irons in the fire, too. And of course, Oliver looks stunning. Even Bleubeard is jealous.
Happy WOYWW from # 2.
Yeah, I probably do TOO much, but I just can’t seem to stop. Isn’t Ollie funny? You’ll have to make Bleubeard his very own photo booth, haha.
Whew. I’m so glad that I’m not the only one that makes a purchase and then forgets exactly what I was going to do with said purchase! If I don’t write down something then I forget…..
In high school I made some of my own clothes (oh my, that was over 30 years ago) but haven’t done any sewing in years. I do love the look of fabric though – and have a little stash.
Happy WOYWW

I guess we just get to be creative twice, eh? lol Thanks for visiting!
Oh, huzzahs for all the projects! I can’t wait to see pics! I especially want to see what you do with that leopard print. 🙂 Hey–as long as Oliver is residing in your photo backdrop, maybe he’ll model your earrings?
Ok, you get to hold him down while I try to pierce his ears….
Ahhhh, never mind. :O
Lookin good 🙂 Love having a peek into the spaces of fellow crafter’s! If you happen to peek in on my blog, be sure to wear a hard hat! LOL!
Oh, it wasn’t so bad, Jan. I loved the racks of paper. The table, well that is well and truly piled high. 🙂 Happy creating!
It seems Oliver has found his spot! Hope you took lots of pictures of him, that might make him move! lol So you like math? Maybe that’s why I never learned to sew! 😉 Good luck on the pants project…and the tights, lol waving hi from the hills of North Carolina 🙂
You don’t HAVE to like math to sew, but it sure helps with this particular project. My pattern is made and pants are cut out with 1″ seam allowances. I’m debating whether to sew up them tonight or watch a movie. Tiredness and the movie are winning at the moment.
Thanks for stopping by, Sandee!
your photo of the cat made me smile,enjoy working out your math and doing your sewing and thanks for visiting me
have a fab woyww

Isn’t he funny? Cats always do the unexpected. Gotta love ’em for that. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by, Kay!
Ohhh, your post brings back memories. I used to sew a lot of my own clothes and that of the girls when they were small.
Now, I don’t think my eyes are keen enough to topstitch nicely!!!
Have fun with the fitting of the pants patten.
Sewing is the one thing I’ve never been good at just can’t seem to stitch straight! Why do cats feel that our creative spaces are THE best seat in the house…must be a positive energy thing!

It’s just that cats own EVERYTHING, is all. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by, Angie.
Oh yeah, I think we all suffer from that too many ideas ever to accomplish syndrome fomr time to time. It makes me want to go and lie down in a darkened room as well. Had to chuckle at your cat, and yes, VERY PHOTOGENIC!! Thanks for visiting my desk and good luck with the pants. Cindy #73
Thanks for stopping by, Cindy!
Wow – that desk really is piled high with possibilities! Sewing machines and I have a long and abiding enmity – so I really admire and envy those who can deal with patterns and fabric and end up with something perfect to wear! And I loved the bracelet I caught sight of in your other post… so many gorgeous crafts in one place… Belated happy WOYWW!
