Creators create, we can't help it.

We are already into March, time goes. Faster and faster it would seem.  My New Years resolution so far has been somewhat successful.  I only told one person about it - DH.   Now I will share - my sewing area is so crowded with ???  That I feel the NEED to organize, clear, make room.  This is being done, only at a snail's pace.  Progress is being made though and is only part of the story ... I have imposed upon myself NOT to purchase any supplies or fabric until the job is done, YIKES!  So far this year I have not purchased one fat quarter, no thread, not a single needle!  I am starting to feel some withdrawal.  How do I combat this, you ask?  I head into my sewing area and start by picking out what I want to accomplish in there.  I feel much better afterwards in a couple of different ways, one this or that item(s) has a place to live or gets to "move" out, so to speak. Second I have not added to the stash,  third is that I get to discover UFOs or WIPs (of which there are a few), fourth the satisfaction that soon I can get in there and start creating again - not that I have been stagnant.  Creators create always, we can't help it.  I have been doing some hand sewing and stitching and working in my small sketch book.  Already have some ideas that I will transfer to fabric starting small increasing to a larger piece.  More on that in a future post.  

How are all of you doing on your New Years resolutions?
