None of the items I've completed so far have used fabric -- they've been either re-purposed, or "embroidery blanks".... The top I've started as a "muslin" for the dance top, isn't quite finished yet.... Must finish all the items for Robbie Burns Day first!

ACK!  I'm in the hole.... but 2m purchased this week are for crafts at my daughter's birthday, they will make tied pillows.  And 2.8m (all they had -- hope its enough) is for backing for the Jelly Roll Race Quilt.  And 2.5m of Ivory solid is for the Starburst quilt.  And the only item completed... a pair of PJ pants made from Ladies XL PJs!  Have enough to make a toque, or gloves or maybe both for my 7yo... she loved the fabric.... and bought the PJs with her own money so I could make her these.....

15 Minutes Update & Stash Report (2013 #1)

This week I didn't do much sewing but have done some planning, and some construction (or was that destruction....) for my new studio. Also I've been handed a sewing project -- altering 8 costumes for my daughters dance team...

Week Ending Jan 7

Tuesday	looking at fabric, planning projects
Wednesday	Shopping for fabric - didn't find what I wanted. 15min cleaning in my sewing room.
Thursday	New Sewing Studio (carpet removed from one room, and partial wall removal) Learning EQ7 Quilt Designing in EQ7
Friday	Working on New Sewing Studio (wall removed and clean-up)
Saturday	Working on New Sewing Studio (wall removed and clean-up
Sunday	No sewing
Monday	Working on New Sewing Studio

So how do I schedule?  The biggest problem I have is I often schedule for late at night... and then I'm too tired, or the evening activities run late... so I don't get anything done.  I really need to leave myself with an "easy" project to start so there is no delay in working on something.

Having a clean space helps!    I need to get better in prepping some handwork projects too!

Do I need to log the fabric my kids bought?  Nope - not my stash!

15 Minute Challenge - Last weeks of 2012

Can I find 15 min a day?  I've tried in the past, doing quite well in March, and I need to get back into this, because if I don't  list never gets shorter, and I never get to relax in front of the machine... So I am going to try for 2013 -- so to start the year off, I will post on my past two weeks... not a lot of sewing, but I didn't take anything on vacation with me....

How have I done the past 2 weeks....
