Coming Like A Ghost Town
My sewing room has been empty for weeks, it's looking like a ghost town down here!
I was working on a project I've been super excited about all year, the one I blogged about back in September. So yeah, I finished the top like 6 weeks ago, came up with the plan for the back and got started on it, then completely lost my motivation. I thought I'd be finished with this project by now, and even hoped to submit it to the 2015 QuiltCon show. But it's been weeks and weeks since I've been down here working.
I guess when I schedule my days on paper, it looks like I should have time each day - or at least a few times a week - to sew. But it hasn't been that easy to fit all that I have to do into each day. And to be honest with you, friends, after Fidget goes to bed at night, I've just been too damned tired to come down here and sew.
It also doesn't help that this seemingly brightly lit space (these photos were shot at about 1:30 in the afternoon when the sun shines right into the room) is like a dark dreary dungeon after the sun goes down - and it can feel pretty darned lonely being down here all by my lonesome after dark.
In addition to my other project, there's a group charity quilt on my chair waiting for me to add some quilting before we finish it up, hopefully with the goal of also submitting to the 2015 QuiltCon show.
Friends, help me out! Have you ever been stuck finishing up a project or felt like you needed a little push to get working? What do you do to get motivated to sew or finish a project? I need some help kicking my butt into gear!

Upstairs, in my studio that is really just one of the bigger bedrooms, I have a tv, and I go in there and just sit on my sewing chair and watch some show that seems magical or at least entertaining.
