Stitch in time

I haven't posted much on the food front lately because I've been obsessed with recipes/protocols of another kind: fabric patterns and sewing! I have rediscovered the joys and frustrations of thread. I have made several bags of varying styles and designs. In the first 10 days after retrieving my sewing machine from my brother, I averaged 1 bag per day.

I am obsessed. I skip workouts to sew. I daydream about fabrics. I mentally draw patterns on my bus commute. I lose track of time, forget to eat or drink. Hell, I'm now writing about it. I may have a problem. But I also know my creative processes, and I know this will abate. I have an art deadline to meet in a couple of weeks and my craft budget is dwindling. Most likely, I'll be lured away when the pale ale is ready.
