I've got nothing

I have had a week of procrastination. I keep on looking at my sewing and crochet, both of which need projects to be either worked on or finished, but I just can't muster up the enthusiasm to do anything.  Instead I have whiled away the hours sitting at the computer googling stuff, drooling over flickr photos and blogs and generally just looking at anything, rather than doing something.

My creative space

insert sounds of crickets chirping

I have also had a bit of a clean out of the study so I can eventually move my sewing stuff into it, then it will become my sewing room. I have to wait for bitchypoo to finish school before I can move in permanently,  she is coming up to her final exams in the next couple of months. and at the moment she uses it to study,  research, go on facebook, you tube etc.

On another note, what is the past tense of - to text?

Is it texted, as it just looks and sounds wrong, eg.

I texted Shay.

I text Shay.

Ahhhhhhh they both look and sound wrong.

I think I will just use text/ed,  that way I cover both bases.

A random gratuitous photo from my trip last year taken on the Isle of Capri, Italy, as I haven't any photos of anything crafty to show.

It would have been nice......

In the last week or so the nights have been very cold here. I wish I had started this quilt a long time ago, so I could have been using it now.

It included all those lovely chenilles above and these gorgeous pieces of Amy Butler Love flannel.

Instead I have been working on these, and I am sure you remember my snowball block saga from 

here, here and here.  I am now a teensy bit embarrassed about those, as lovely Karen has now put a link to all the people who are joining the snowball night on her blog . Now I am going to be famous for being very rude about my snowball blocks and all the nice people who are enjoying making the snowball blocks are probably going to think I am a very rude blogger and a really crap quilter.

Another thing I have been working on is this

and also a couple of other crochet "things" that are top secret, which I can't share right now.

Tonight I could have beeen snuggling up under a beautiful chenille and flannel quilt handmade by moi. But no, I put it off as I was worried about cutting into the chenille. Even if I start it today, I probably won't have it finished before the nights start getting warmer again. We have very short winters here.  Maybe I'll have something to look forward to in winter 2011.
