Why can't I have a few more hours in the day? A few more hours just for me to create...or blog (i've missed this space)? My goodness, I feel so full of ideas these days, but have no time to execute them. So frustrating! There isn't one thing in particular keeping me busy, just life in general. A life full of basketball games, dance practices, homework and LOTS of laundry (where do all these clothes come from anyway??).
For weeks now I've been picking up beads here and there. More than once I've made my way up to my sewing studio, sat down with the beads in front of me, but then - interruption...that's the jewelry making itch. I'm not sure what I want to make - bracelets? necklaces? earrings?
I've been wanting to try something new, something with fabric. Friday night I made my first linocut. It is very, very, VERY simple and crude, but I'm eager to stamp it on some fabric. I also ordered Malka's book, so I'm sure once that arrives I'll be ready to dive into that as well - I'll call this the fabric making itch.
Of course, there's ALWAYS the bag making itch, I don't think that one ever goes away. I've still got clutches and zippered thingies on the brain. It's been a few months since I've had a new bag, so I feel like it's about time for that, too, but it won't be a clutch.
My knitting itch has finally quieted down now that I finished my Tea Leaves (waiting on buttons). The moment I finished I wasn't quite ready to be done knitting, so I cast something else on, something I'm working out on the fly, but I'm not sure I'll carry that through. (This project was an absolute necessity during last night's football game - it kept my fingers busy during all that stress!) The knitting itch is quickly being replaced by all the others.
Have I mentioned that I'm also working on my dining/kitchen? These have arrived and this is still in the box waiting to be hung. Perhaps I'll finally finish the remodel we started, oh, 2 years ago. Should I call this a decorating itch?
So there you have it, I'm ITCHY!! Anybody have a cure? I'm pretty sure I'm hopeless!!
