Finding motivation

I'm going to admit here and now that I am having a great deal of difficulty in keeping up with my projects. I have no excuse other than to admit that I jump from one thing to another and I take on way too many things at once. It has led to a bit of stress around Chez Sunshine, which is ridiculous because I'm not trying to solve world peace.
The more I have on my plate, the more I tend to ignore it, so for the last few weeks I've been putting off  all of my current projects, preferring to rearrange fabric piles, read books for more inspiration (which I don't need right now as I don't need to start anything else yet) or just do nothing at all.
The last few days I've been setting small goals, to see if that would help and it has made a huge difference. I still haven't finished anything but I've achieved quite a lot.

• Tidied up my rather substantial fabric stash which was lying on the dining table (purchases from the previous couple of weeks) taking up an awful lot of room.
• Quilted and sewn the binding to the front of Not Not Karma's quilt - I'll explain the name when I finish the binding, and have a photos to show, it just needs hand binding to the back to finish.
• Cut out all the background, batting, backing and flower and leaf pieces for the French Roses quilt.
• Quilted half a dozen of the blocks for the French Roses quilt.
• Put together a Dresden plate for Lily's Quilts quilt along.

Along with aiming for smaller goals I have been using essential oils in my oil burner, you may remember I wrote a post about my oil burners here back in November. 

I found the Motivating blend and I think it may have made a difference, even if it didn't it's made the house smell nice again!

Lily's Quilts Quilt Along

I'm joining in on Lynne's at Lily's Quilts quilt along.  I'm excited.  I finally worked out how to download the templates so that they would print out the correct size, boy was that difficult. Well once I worked out how to do it it was very easy, too easy. The difficult part was getting my brain to work and to figure out how to do it in the first place.

So now I'm all sorted. I have my fabric.  I'm using what was in my stash, a layer cake of La Petite Ecole by French General, and for the background I'm going to use Kona Charcoal, as I had lots of that in my stash and for the centre circles I'm using Bella Solids Tomato Red.

Now let the fun begin.
