Baby napping but fitfully (and on me) so little time to type.
Found out about Project 365 on Denise’s blog. Awesome.

For the past week or so inspiration has been hunting me down. Everywhere I turn something is giving me that soaring feeling that anything is possible. I’ve been trying to do a little knitting here and there and some sewing but really, I’ve been sorely lacking in the creativity department. And this blog was supposed to be all about the crafty!
Kim’s music meme tag made me miss listening and making music. Mary has some awesome writing going on on her blog which has made me haul out my one short story and ponder some editing as well as an urge to write some poems. And as I mentioned in my last post, Minnie’s baby-pant-making has got me all into baby clothes sewing. I also found this blog and am feeling tempted to join the challenge.
Dammit, I should just do it. I need a kick in the butt. Yeah. Yeah!
