I am deep into my summer job of making costumes for the Ren faire near us.  I get the peices already cut and just have to sew them together, but of course that leaves little time for any other sewing that I would like to be doing. 

I have started a dress and a top for myself, made Ruby a sun dress recently, and started on the traditional sleep pants that I give everyone at Christmas time.  I need to get some things put away for Christmas, I'm behind in my "25 weeks" list, but my summer job ends soon and I should be able to step things up then. 

If I can turn out this much during my job, I don't see why I can't do the same thing for etsy and my own sewing, or at least close to it.  Now that I don't have cable, I can't waste my time watching TV at night, and while that has cut down on my knitting time, I am getting a lot of other work done. 

After my orders are finished this week, I'll be rewritting my schedule to include more of my items and finding time to get everything done.  The key will be to keep my costume sewing completley finished each week to avoid feeling like I am obligated to sew during the week end on costumes, and devote my week end time to my sewing. 

Maybe that way I'll actually get back to my art days as well!  That would be so good for my spirit!

DO SOMETHING THAT SPEAKS TO YOUR SPIRIT AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEART.  LIFE IS GOOD.  LIVE IT TO THE FULLEST.  BE CREATIVE!!
