I really wish someone would lite a fire cracker under me!

Sandy, I can really relate. You need a firecracker....I think I need a stick of dynamite! While we were on vacation (Sept 18th thru 28th) I was a sewing "fool". I stayed at my machine, if DH & I weren't out doing something and when I got up early....I am a VERY early riser and I got A LOT done! Now that we are back home, I feel like I'm stuck in concrete. I have blocks that I need to finish piecing for Jenny's serendipity pattern. DH took me to a lovely quilt shop while in TN and for my b-day I was essentially given "free rein" for buying fabric. So I got LOTS of beautiful fabric that sits untouched.

I "think" part of my problem is that my "sewing room" is what used to be our catch all (junk) room. I have cleared out a lot of stuff, STILL waiting on DS #2 to come get a set of twin mattresses--he swears he wants, I'm giving him until the last weekend of this month. If he doesn't get them, they go to goodwill or salvation army!

There is a ginormous (if that's a word) treadmill in said room! We can't get rid of that...due to the amount we paid for it, the trouble it will be getting out of the room (it's HUGE!) and now DH has decided he wants to use it on a daily basis. The room can be rearranged, but I need help and those stupid mattresses need to go!

I've also had a b-day & an anniversary in the last 2 1/2 wks and on Thursday I'm having an outpatient procedure on my right sinuses and I'm not looking forward to that. So as you said, some events in my life have me distracted & side tracked, but I KNOW that sitting at my machine & sewing so helps me refocus & relax (as much as I can). Where's that dynamite?!?!? Thanks for letting me vent.

What is the matter with me? I know life has been busy and stressful but when I have a couple hours to work on a quilt I just sit! Sometimes I work on my hexis but that is getting way to close to being done. It is like I just can't make myself go sit at the machine. I have a quilt started, way back in July, but only have 2 blocks finished. Would someone like to bring the fire cracker and liter? Please? I need a great big push! Instead I sit.
