Mojo Sucking Sewing

From time to time, if you read sewing blogs or websites, you hear about folks loosing their sewing mojo. The desire to sew, to make, to create. Most don't know where it went, they just want it back. Well, I'm here to tell you where mine went. It was sucked dry and empty by (1) holiday linens. Not hard, all I did was serge the edges of a big old piece of cotton/linen for a table cloth and then cut and serge some napkins to go with. I had some other napkins but the print is so off grain and crooked that I can't bring myself to mess with anymore. Pah. The tablecloth and napkins turned out fine, but ***yawn****. And (2) by attempting to finish up 2 pairs of pants. Putzing and fussing with waistbands and buttons and buttonholes and belt loops and still having them look like Becky Homecky attacked them with a vengeance. And their both a bit tight, despite being the same pattern as my favorite pair of pants. Pfffft. I didn't even get them hemmed, I put them on and marked one spot for the hem and couldn't bring myself to finish measuring and pinning and folding and pressing and stitching. Putzy and fussy.
So, how am I going to get over this? I hope this will help. I bought 2 "jelly rolls" from JoAnn's in little girl pinks and browns and some additional fabrics to finish off a quilt for my grand-niece (just saying that makes me feel so freakin' old!) . It's all pink and brown and flowery and polka-dotty and little girly. I'll probably do another french braid - it takes a minimum of cutting and piecing and doesn't loose a lot of yardage in a lot of seams. I'll show you that one as it progresses. All the fabric, except the rolls, is in the washer. And that's hard to photograph.
I should have some time over the holiday to work on this, my MIL was coming on Tuesday but isn't feeling well so she had to cancel (just a rant here: Delta charged me $150 to put my EARNED miles back to my account! It's not like they have to have a CPA certify this, the computer does it all. What a cheap, crappy charge. End rant) so my weekend freed up a lot. My son's having surgery on the following Monday, so I'll be back and forth to the hospital but probably not making my hour + commute daily. So more time. And time alone at my house! That NEVER happens.
