Slow Going Some Days

                                           Christmas  Lag?

                                           A  desk  clock  like  an  old  Singer!!       

                                                                  
 
Sometimes  it's  so easy to sew and  plan projects...thats  me  most of the  time...the  last few  days  have  been  rough- pick this  up and  put it  down ...pick that  up and  put it  down...rough- maybe  I am just having a  hard time or maybe I need  to start a  new  different project that  I have  been  looking  at ....sewers  block - yep I have  it.
 
Merry  Christmas
Maybe  a few yards  of  Asian fabric from Deb Sews  might  help my "sewers block"
