I’ve been in a serious creative funk since I made those witches for Halloween and finished the Circle Quilt (which still isn’t hung). That was the last thing I sewed, the circle quilt. Last year I made tons of gifts for people, but this year I took a big break from the homemade gifts. Time wasn’t on my side, and I just haven’t been struck with much inspiration the past month. Adam was sick, then I was sick. I’ve been putting a lot of energy into projects at work, and we’re also traveling for Christmas this year. It’s hard for me to get too excited about holiday craft projects when we won’t be here for the actual day. Don’t get me wrong, I’m actually excited to go out of town and be a guest rather than a host this year. But I decided I’d rather relax and spend more time with family and friends this year than work away at the sewing machine. Maybe in 2010 I will be super organized and start my homemade gifts in June.
