Struck By Inspiration

I received an email from Urban Threads today and saw their new Pretty Poison set.  I was instantly smitten...but what to do with the designs? There are only so many things I can hang on my walls and throw pillows are heartily abused in my house. Inspiration struck! What about a quilt? I could find a few more designs that had an interesting plant motif to them, piece the lot of them together and have a lovely functional piece of art! Genius...at least it will be once I finally get to it.
I also found a few embroidery pieces that would help pull together the wall hanging quilt I have wanted to make with a set of elemental dragon cross stitches I finished a few years ago.  Tonight, I could finally see it put together in my head.  Yet another project that requires attention.
Did I mention I am trying to work through the about six dozen knitting projects I have waiting for me?  Yarn and patterns all ready to go, in bags and bins, quietly staring and patiently gathering dust.  In my defense, most of them are single skeins for socks or shawls.
Oh, and let's not forget the dozens of embroidery and cross stitch projects that also already await my attention.
And....now that it's cooling off and the roving won't be sticking to my fingers I need to get back to the whole practicing spinning thing.
Provided I don't get distracted by some new shiny, (highly likely), I should be good on projects for at least another year and a half!

Started a new blog

  Oooh Shiny! is now on WordPress.  There isn't much there yet, but I will work on that.
