when ideas attack

Unfortunately I am suffering from a severe case. I still have my Serger out, and the sweatshirt pattern cut. I have a selection of sweatshirt fleece out, and felt the need to pull out the stack of jersey knits I've been stashing the last couple weeks. Then I started looking at those wonky blocks again, and oops, wasn't I going to make myself a new purse forever ago? So next thing you know I'm back online, looking at purse patterns and one thing leads to another and I end up deciding that I really need that Kate Spain Central Park fabric for my wonky blocks. Especially the Cobblestone in Aqua. Although it seems silly not to go ahead and get all four colors.

And see, just now in making this link I noticed this. Sherbet Pips by Aneela Hoey, I especially love the Girl in a Tree Swing, it would make a lovely purse. I want to try the Buttercup Bag by Made by Rae, who also has a great series of posts all about making stuff for boys, and I could go on and on about the tens of projects I have stored in the back of my mind for Dino Boy.

I have actually managed to make some progress on both quilts, as well as make a great toy bag for the kids. I wanted to post about some of it here, but I been having a hard time getting any good pics. It's still the gray season here in Portland, and that combined with my less than good photography skills = bad photos.

So now it's war. I need to beat back some of those ideas and actually pick one and do it! I love thinking of projects, daydreaming ideas, and doing the actual work to make them, but I'm not so crazy about starting and finishing them.
