sew & tell v3.28 - finding some motivation

Sometimes I get bogged down with such a big to-do list that I don't do anything.  I sit around eating ice cream and watching bad TV instead of diving in.  Anyone know what I'm talking about?

*crickets*

That's part of what is so good about sew & tell.  It gives me a deadline.  So I finished up a quick and easy minky baby blanket for a long overdue baby gift. I love how this one turned out.  And I've made so many of them at this point, they are a fast and easy satisfying project!

I think that doing something quick and easy really is the key to finding motivation.  It's nice to feel a sense of accomplishment and makes me want to sew more!

So I finished up my iPad sleeve that I started during spring break.  I love it!

I used the wonderful tutorial over at One Shabby Chick.  Super easy and fast!

Now at least when I feel super conspicuous pulling out my iPad to take a photo for Instagram, at least it's got some pretty flowers on it!
