too many ideas not enough time..

All through my pregnancy I had visions of being able to look after a baby full time at home, whilst sewing everyday making large quilts for order, plus bags and products to sell for wholesale to boutiques.
The truth of the matter is, that I'm lucky if I can make 2 make up bags a week. What before took 20 minutes to make, now takes hours in annoying stages.
As for my sewing studio, it looks like a bombs hit it, with a spare bed placed in the middle, as it is the only space for guests who want to come and stay and as we had quite a few with the new baby, so it got abandoned there now as a trip hazard.
Having said all this, I am lucky to be doing sewing at all, and there are lots of times when I could do more, instead of wasting time when Pearl is asleep.
So for now, I shall return to scrap booking my ideas down in my beautiful black book.

Yes a real book, not pinterest or my iphone, but old fashioned pen and paper and sellotape.  I started this when I was in college in Ireland.
This came about by, contstantly ripping bits out of magazines, and loosing them, so I started sticking them in a book. anything visually interesting clothes I liked, things to make, cool styling. ect.

Then as my course progressed at college, and we started making more items, it became an Idea's book of scribbles and workings out, pattern ideas, and measurements. And  I just love it!

So I may not be able to make everything I want to, when I want to. But at least I can keep the idea safe. Surely having the inspiration and the motivation, and excitment to create something is just as good. Well it will do for now.
