Spring Scramble (and I don't mean eggs)

Ahh...the lull before the busy season! It's good to feel rich with time-and time is certainly my currency. While previously scrambling to get loads of stuff done for Stitches West, I now feel queenly in dictating to myself what I can 'choose' to do each day. Basically I am in denial because I still have loads to do!

This is the time before we order our baby chicks for the season, the students are in a mad dash to finish their lines, my taxes are due and I am frantically sewing for two major events.

I have been waking up each day this past week asking myself, Should I work on that new design?, Should I work on my taxes?, Should I cut and sew Pattern Holders or Clear Wristlets? Should I figure out an easier way to sew my Pocket Buckets and Project Bags? Should I set up that computer to make pattern printouts? The true answer is yes to all of them! Because wouldn't my life be easier in the coming months if I got a little bit of this done now? All in good time....

Of course I want to do the fun stuff.....like the new Interchangeable Needle Case design and an idea I have been asked to re-visit: Notebook Pages that hold needles in a binder.  When I go on a run ('if' is more like it lately), I usually like to mentally design things as I jog. I used to listen to audiobooks but now I love sewing in my head-something I also do to fall asleep.

For now, I will work on a little of this and a little of that. My motto is Chip Away At It (best to learn this when you become a parent)! Then everything eventually gets done.

I'd rather not scramble!

I am really interested in the Interchangeable Needle Case! How much longer until you debut it?

Yes! It is definitely making progress. I have a good design but am tweaking to make it easier to sew and a little more functional-it will definitely hold two sets of Interchangeables.. A new prototype or two have been made since the photo in the newsletter. I will try and post pics next week! Glad you are interested!
