Motivation.....
Well, I need to be working on a new quilt for a baby shower gift. I am in charge of the shower with a few other girls, and they are both a bit busy right now, so it's basically me. The problem is, I am really not motivated to do much of anything about it all. I have been to seven or eight baby shower and made quilts for each, so I am beginning to burn out.

I have in my mind some projects I want to do, but I keep putting them off until I finish this baby quilt. It is going to be green, blue and white and have a turtle theme in the machine quilting. I have it all designed and have the fabric, so really I have no excuse.

As to the other projects, everyone needs some new pj's. I would like to make a few bags for me. I have some plans for at least three. I need to start on halloween costumes. And B and I are going to Beauty and the Beast in September and I have some fabric to make her a Belle dress, the blue and white one, not the big yellow one. J wants to be Harry Potter again for Halloween, so he will just need some new pants, the cloak from last year still fits.

And I have in mind doing a massive reorganizing project with the toys. Really, we need to get rid of half of them. I need to do it while the kids are not around to see what is leaving. That way I can be a bit harsh.

Anyway, lack of motivation abounds today..... Maybe tomorrow.
