it's a scramble in here

One of the things that fascinates me about sewing, knitting, or creating of any sort is that the more you do, the more ideas that come. I've been busy making lists of things to make to put in my etsy shop, and the list keeps growing. No sooner do I start one project, then I get the new idea.
Totally crazy-making.


So far, the list goes something like this:

dresses sewn from vintage patterns ( '50s mostly ) using modern fabrics - or do I want to use some of my treasured vintage fabrics?

aprons - I have a couple ideas for something simple that I don't see out there already

baby quilts

some appliqued wall items that I've designed, and patterns for those

lingerie - slips and such out of silk

little fabric origami kimonos - done!

soy candles using cut down wine bottles

bags and simple accessories

children's clothes


I have been looking through boxes and boxes of fabrics, and with each box I open I think of something else that would be just the thing to make out of this or that piece. Which leads me to searching for patterns, and making notes. It seems like what I am creating is new piles of things to do. I feel in such a scrambled state, that I don't know where to begin. There seems to be no end or beginning.
