Finally

After procrastinating for 2 years I finally made the white muslin curtains I wanted in my living room. They took me all of 3 hours. I could say it was because I needed the serger to do them, but that's an out and out falsehood. I did use the serger though. I ran a rolled hem on the center side of each piece in a cobalt blue. I also did the tie backs with a cobalt blue edge. It so bright and cheerful in there now. The other curtains were really getting tired looking. @ @ @ \)/ \)/ \)/ Juno

They sound pretty! Don't you think that many times, things just go faster and turn out better when we wait til we're in the mood to make them? (Although that isn't always an option, of course!)

I've had them develop so much energy suddenly that I could do nothing but work on them, right now. And they call it "procrastination"...

Don't discount that percolation time. I'm steadily using up the deep purple pack cloth (W-M, $1/yd) on various projects based on lights-out thinking.

I created a tonneau cover for my recycle bin to keep the snow out, and noticed that it is waterproof. I'd been stuffing my laptop into a plastic bag on rainy days, with an average of four days life per bag. The light came on, and I designed an envelope bag (looks like an LL Bean Firewood Tote with a flap and the sides sewn up) and created it today in less than an hour.

Then the freakin' sun comes out...

Once you've got the serger loaded with a certain color, line up the UFOs and think up projects to do. I (heart) assembly-lining.
