Goal Number 1 = Cut this Black and White Stripe into 2" strips to bind this.
But, when I pulled the fabric out I found a stash of Anna Maria Horner voile which I was saving for that day to come when I would make a quilt for just myself and lo and behold I just made special quilt top just for me! I thought to myself, pssht, the binding isn't going anywhere? How long could it possibly take to just set up the backing so I can at least prep it for starching/pressing whatever...
So I quickly cut it to piece it into backing...but...
then I sewed the Wrong Sides together and got annoyed...
so I took a break from that.
Then at some point - to be honest I've lost track how I got onto this - I remembered this kokka fabric I had stashed somewhere and decided it would make a cool sewing machine cover. I loosely measured and cut, leaving it hanging without ties or a binding because again - that would be finishing something. What the cutting of this large piece left me with was this awesome linen fabric with these cute little sewing notions on it... 
...and just had to cut them into separate pieces like these!
Which then got me thinking how perfect they would be to make a sewing pouch for my hand sewing projects. I was working on just using linen but then I accidentally brushed the pieces against this limey green fabric and thought that was kind of cool which then reminded me of...
the fact that I had just found this book Zakka Style. Of course then I had to take some time to look through that and decide if I wanted to adapt one of these projects to my little sewing notion pieces.
Then I realized.
It was time for Bed.
Ritalin anyone?

This was a lot more enjoyable than having to read If You Give a Dog a Donut at bedtime for the millionth time, but the plot is pretty similar! All the things you're working on look adorable, though, and thus worthwhile!
Hahahahahaha!!! So my life! ;)
Lol. Love it. I swear some days I just pop rom one thing to another and I can't even tell what went where or when. At least you had fun, right!!
E xx
I have the same issues and posted about it on my blog. I think it's because we have so many ideas. I don't think drugs will help us.
Wow, what a day. I love, love that sewing machine fabric, can you remember where it came from? You will finish all of those excellent projects soon. You just are having a bout of startitis, my chronic affliction.
I think we all need a tshirt for this syndrome...I do this too! LOL Lovely day of fun!
I'm chuckling so much! I saw these photos on Flickr last night and wondered what you were up to - turns out you were wondering the same thing!
Ha ha. This cracked me up. I can totally relate. x
story of my LIFE.
