I've got an itch.

I feel like sewing-starting new projects is always something I enjoy doing, but I'm stuck on what I'd like to start. I guess you could say I'm itching to start my own baby quilts but I haven't even begun trying for a baby yet! I climbed out of bed after laying there for an hour and approached my sewing "station" with some hesitation. What did I feel like doing? What do I feel like creating? No answers were coming to me, so I looked to some of my patterns and books for inspiration. I got nothing. Maybe it's because I have so much feminine-type fabrics (can't help it, I love those little butterflies and flowers!) and my luck, we'll have a boy and he'll have all these girlie quilts his mama was making long before he was even a twinkle in his daddy's eyes. I have loads of colors-my palette isn't lacking in that, but it's all in the pattern. Maybe it's the hour that's keeping me from trying something new. Maybe it's the process of starting that I don't want to get into. I don't know.

But I do know I have an itch, and I *will* be scratching it soon.
