Well...um...more little more things really...Sunday I woke up with a sinusy headache and after spending the morning on the couch aimlessly wandering around the world wide interweb while begging the paracetamol to work eventually wandered into the sewing room with the aim of some hemming and ironing...boring but necessary evils that didn't require too much brain cell energy expenditure...the aim misfired and instead...I made a towelling car seat belt cover (you know the little wrap around jobs that stop it from sticking/digging in when it is hot) that had been needed for ages as the first attempt was well worn out, that took all of 1/2 hour going at the speed of a snail so why had I waited so long?...mmm what next...still avoiding the boring stuff...recently I finished up a little orphan stitchery (I think it is a Red Brolly/Bronwyn Hayes design) that had been going on for ever so I turned it into the front of a needlebook...
Next!...I was starting to flag again but still needed to actually do something rather than just aimlessly watch tele/DVD/iView and found a couple of why did I do this? traced stitcheries...so I started the one with the simpler and quicker design using a pretty multi-coloured variegated floss to stitch while watching catch up tele on the PC...finished yesterday and became...another pincushion...
A fairly substantial sized pincushion from a Leanne Beasley design. With butterflies on the front it had to have butterflies on the back too!...
These little projects have cleaned up a few odd bits lying around the sewing room and hopefully kick started the creative mojo again...it has kept wandering off the last few months without leaving a forwarding address...and as for the boring stuff? well I've unpicked the old elastic on the mother's skirt and pinned on the new piece so that is a start...oh and K, I also stitched on all but about I think 4 of the front patches for the "joint project", progress!...
Happy Stitching...

well done Annette you have achieved alot,and i hope you are feeling a lot better now.xx
Hope that headache is well and truly gone by now :-) But how productive you've been...love all those little projects!Love that stitchery design on the needlebook!
Looks like you had a productive couple of days in the sewing room - nice new sewing things are always good for kick starting the creativity.
Hope there is enough play space between all the "@#$@" stuff!
Enjoy sewing.
You have achieved so much. Hope you get better quickly too. Nothing worse than a cold/sinus especially in summer. On the upside it is better than a nasty gastro which has been doing the rounds. Thankfully and I don't know how but we have avoided that too.
Little projects are great. Hope you're feeling better soon.
Hope you're feeling better! Great small projects to keep you busy, and they turned out really cute!
lots of lovely smaller finishes. That mojo will be back before you know it, so as not to be left out.
even if mojo is hiding you are getting lots of little things done.... he (mojo) must be close...
