What a creative idea! I might just have to try it myself.<br /><br />Yes, I also find I spend probably too much time on the internet, reading about all the things I would like to try or do instead of just doing them! I liked your suggestions for setting time aside, even just 30 minutes for the projects I want to get done.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17664824920459341153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289163048724201322.post-28672247162758591872011-01-16T09:28:36.478-08:002011-01-16T09:28:36.478-08:00This is wonderful!

I have to use a timer when reading blogs because I get lost in blogland. In fact I use a timer for everything because it saves time. Sounds funny but it works!

This is a busy time of year for my work and it is hard to get to my stitching so diving into creative blogs and enjoying the inspiration others are so generous to share is uplifting. I can read a few blog posts between batches of emails at work or start the day off viewing and reading about what I love (quilts!). I also keep a journal but you've inspired me to include more in mine.Tarynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03455236914872943577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289163048724201322.post-4523397433387261562011-01-13T16:24:06.403-08:002011-01-13T16:24:06.403-08:00I love your ideas.

Short sleeves or three-quarter length, SPF 15 or 30, Mexican food or Thai, bike or walk....tough decisions like that are all I have to struggle with!!! I've finished two quilt tops and four shams for the inn and am starting on a duvet cover in Hawaiian fabrics. But if you can believe it...I actually miss a cozy day inside while it snows and waking up to a winter wonderland in Panguitch. Being a SnowBird is the best deal ever!!! Sure miss you Girlfriend...you can always come see me if you need a warm up.

My most productive notebook time is sitting at the Y, waiting for the boys to finish swimming. I'm FORCED to be creative, and I love it. <br />Your sketchbooks are wonderful. Packed with creativity! <br />I do think the internet, while opening up the world, has diminished my creativity. Before I found blogging, I created a LOT more. Time to cut back, I think.

I...Ho hum...yep, that's what I'm feeling. <br /><br />I do spend way too much time blog reading. I am cutting way back. Skipping through a bunch out of need. Just reading my favorites.<br /><br />I did recently find a nice big library in our area. I have been checking out all kinds of books...both personal and for craft inspiration. It does help. I am not a good doodler because I can't draw, but I do write down lists of ideas. Just this morning I dug an old list out that I made last summer. Fun quilt ideas. It did help!<br /><br />Get your inspiration back and let us see because I enjoy watching you!Miss Hillbillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13422851284570747539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289163048724201322.post-43212449642525428772011-01-13T10:24:14.146-08:002011-01-13T10:24:14.146-08:00Love the skechbook.. really fun.

I've been in a slump, and I can't seem to find my way out of it. I want to sew and quilt, and even though I tell myself - I am going to start/work on/finish a project, when it comes down to it, it doesn't get done. I go into my sewing area and just look and then walk out :-( You have some good suggestions, but I think it really has to come from the heart.Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02714577523744715551noreply@blogger.com
