WIP Wednesday - Lost My Sew-jo

I'm going to blame the procreating trees and strange weather we've been having lately for my random sinus pressure and lack of sewing motivation.  A purse I can usually finish in one day took me an entire weekend and a few extra days!  Of course I was modifying the pattern, which adds time, but when it came to the sewing part I was just puttering along.  I sew because it makes me happy and gives me a productive hobby/part time business, so when I hit slumps, sometimes I need to take a step back and do something else to make sure I don't get burnt out.  I think getting a full night's sleep might help...Naps make me groggy and throw off my sense of time!  (also, desks at work aren't really made for napping, too small to hide under and too lumpy to sleep on! LOL)

I may be obsessed with coffee fabric.

Sir 'Chu says it's time to take a break for some lovely tea

Even with my procrastination (and Netflix binging), I did finally manage to finish one project and get a few Etsy orders shipped out.  Hopefully I can pick up the pace in the next few days, I have way too much going on to get behind at this point!  I need to get some good pictures of the How I Roll bags, the fabric is going up for preorder on the 1st at Moonbeam!

Horrible picture of the only thing I've sewn for days...
