Today is a NEW day

Shortly after I wrote yesterday's post I had a visitor stop by. Terry Griffin from Thankfully Sew and I was SO THANKFUL that she did. I just love that girl! Oh, we've been friends for a long time-we go waaaaaay back. Back to Spring market in 2009! :o)

She was only going to stop by for a minute but my house was so quiet we just got to talking.

...and talking....

And talking some more.

Before we knew it time had slipped by and my boys were walking in the door from they're first day of school. We said goodbye and Terry was on her way.

But you know what? I was feeling so much better.

Then I got on to check my blog on had several comments from you guys telling me I was not alone; that so many of you have had 'Quilters Block' also.

It was just what I needed to get started on that HAVE TO list.

THANKS SO MUCH!!!

A different kind of 'BLOCK'

I'm not talking about the kind you sew together and swap with friends. I'm talking about the kind when just walking by my sewing room makes me cringe.

I have it.... BAD.

Folding patterns and filling orders isn't too horrible- but thinking about sewing. Ugh.

I want to sew. But my creativity is at a stand-still.

Actually, that's not even true.

The real problem is that there is a list 3 feet long of HAVE TO's and a list 40 feet long of WANT TO's. I've procrastinated the HAVE TO's so long that it's impossible to look past them and even begin to ENJOY the WANT TO's. Thus I'm not doing ANYTHING.

Does that make sense?

Have you ever had Quilter's Block? What do you do to get past it?

facebook

Ok, I'm super slow. It takes me forever to figure these things out. I FINALLY made a Crazy Old Ladies facebook page. Ugh! Things like this should not be so difficult. Most of it had to do with the fact that facebook did not want to allow 'Crazy Old Ladies' as an account. Go figure!? :o) But I got it all figured out.

So....make CRAZY OLD LADIES a friend on YOUR facebook. Visit my facebook page by clicking the link on the right!

Have a great day. And don't forget to check my ETSY for all the new listing from my STASH!

COLLECTION

I'm a collector really. I buy fabric with the best intentions of making the most beautiful quilts out of it. But the truth is- I'm NEVER going to get around to making ALL of them. Sure I can dream of the day all my kids are grown and gone and all I have to do is sit around and quilt all day. But by then I'll have collected so many bundles of fabric I'll have to live until I'm 134 to ever quilt them all. So instead, I'm sharing my collection. I've listed the following on ETSY:

Red, White and Blue

assorted sizes (1/2 yds, FQ's, and 1/4's)

Red and Aqua

assoreted sizes (1/2's, FQ's, 1/4's)

Wool

-lots of pieces, assorted sizes

I'll be posting more throughout the weekend including Fat Quarter bundles for every color of the rainbow! :o)

It's something!

I had a few requests to show the page in 'Quilts n More' for those who haven't seen the mag. Again, it's not the biggest deal, but it's fun. Enjoy!

p.s.- More 'Stash' posting tomorrow. Ya'll are FAST! :o)
