Feeling...

Creative. It's a slightly uncomfortable feeling, I admit. I've been feeling inklings all week but only now have a way to fully deal with them as other avenues have proven unsuccessful. I went to Jo Ann's.
If you've never been to a craft store, start with Michael's. It's the best for everything...but it doesn't have fabric. Which is sad, but so it goes. So, I went to Jo Ann's to solve that problem. The thing is, you go in feeling creative looking for something to quench that feeling only when you get to the fabric department, the feeling only intensifies and worsens. Too much there...too many avenues for creativity. So, I picked about five fabrics and...ran. Sort of. Walked, really. But now I have about 3 yards of various fabrics for pillows.
Yes, I'm going to make pillows. And they're sort of going to match each other! I found a purple and a green that match and two blues that match. Then I made the mistake of walking by the flat quarters and found very pretty oriental squares, so I had to get black for the backs of those pillows. I wish my mum had never taught me how to sew...or use the sewing machine. Then this disease wouldn't be an issue. Anyway, off to go deal with this creativity. Good thing I don't have enough time to make another quilt. I'm such a nerd sometimes...or simply a freak as schwester likes to say...c'est la vie.
