It&#8217;s just hard to sit down and post when you have a chubby little guy pawing after you wanting milkies and lovies all day. I end up making things while I nurse him or when it&#8217;s late at night and all the boys have finally&#8230;finally!&#8230;gone to bed.<\/p>\n<p>my sewing machine has taken a back seat to the fiber arts: knitting, crocheting, needlework. Those are all easy to do while you breastfeed. I have quite a few projects in my queue. MORE than I want to even talk about. I recently moved things around in my craft zone and piled all my &#8220;incompletes&#8221; on top of each other. really, a lot are &#8220;never starteds&#8221; and it makes me feel like I haven&#8217;t done ANYTHING in a long time. Ever since the beginning of my pregnancy, I&#8217;ve been less enthusiastic about crafting. On the other hand, I&#8217;ve been totally gung-ho about collecting craft <i>supplies<\/i>. Seriously! I don&#8217;t usually buy full-price, though. I gather coupons, I visit garage sales and thrift stores, and I scour closeouts. Just the other day, I visited a JoAnn that&#8217;s closing and bought 15 zippers! 15! I don&#8217;t even make things with zippers, BUT they were 90% off and I couldn&#8217;t resist. Who DOESN&#8217;T buy something that&#8217;s 90% off??? Crazy people, that&#8217;s for sure. I also bought a whole bunch of G\u00fctermann thread at 80% off. The store closes (it&#8217;s actually moving to a new, BIGGER location) tomorrow and it&#8217;s making me anxious! I want to go right.this.very.minute. I think I may wipe them out of thread and zippers. They&#8217;re already out of useful yarn (wool) and only have yarn I&#8217;d pretty much never use (novelty). I would like to scour the remaining fabrics, but I usually have a baby attached to me and he gets fussy when I stop moving, so I tend to go in and come out really quick. Maybe I&#8217;ll check out the 90%-off remnants bin. There&#8217;s bound to be something in there I can use, right?<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">this is the chunk who keeps me from my sewing machine..<BR><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yarnattacks\/2999527697\/\" title=\"smiley sit by yarnattacks, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3035\/2999527697_df818fc847.jpg\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" alt=\"smiley sit\" \/><\/a><BR><BR>but I can make things like this while I nurse..<BR><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yarnattacks\/3009088756\/\" title=\"cross stitched L by yarnattacks, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3219\/3009088756_3355f3e72b.jpg\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" alt=\"cross stitched L\" \/><\/a><BR><BR>on the needles:<BR><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/yarnattacks\/3015409627\/\" title=\"sock-ease: lemon drop by yarnattacks, on Flickr\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3013\/3015409627_e3e313442d_m.jpg\" width=\"240\" height=\"180\" alt=\"sock-ease: lemon drop\" \/><\/a><BR>deliciously lemony socks<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I apologize for the neglect of this blog.
