Procrastination Inspiration

Mental dialogue last night...

Left Brain: Just what do you think you are doing, young lady?

Right Brain: Well, uh... You see I had these fabric squares. And I just thought maybe they would make cute coasters. I mean, everybody needs coasters.

Left Brain: Yeah, but nobody needs coasters when there are 130 coffee sleeves to make - right now. Focus!

I am a notorious procrastinator. I was born this way. I've gotten better, though, especially when things that I need to do are items that are paid for already. Yesterday, I was doing so well. I had 65 coffee sleeves cut out and sewn together (about the half way point to being done).

But somehow, things went awry. Suddenly I find myself matching up fabric squares and making 22 coasters.

"Procrastination Inspiration" has hit. That's when you feel inspired to create something RIGHT THIS VERY SECOND... when you really should be doing something else.

I guess it's okay, though. I still got a lot of work done.

Hi Kim! I really really need coasters for my apt, are you selling them on Etsy? I also love your placemats and was wondering if you have any of those for sale? I have been looking at stores for quilted placemats and none are as cute as yours.

Hi Rose, I had no idea what I was going to do with 22 coasters, but when they are completed you can definitely get some. Let's email about your place mat needs, too. There are so many cute options and we can figure something out.
