A sewing break

August 10, 2005

Dscn0002_1

I’m taking a little sewing break this afternoon. I put Roxy down for a nap and went into the studio to get started and couldn’t think of anything to do. That’s a bad sign because I’m usually bubbling over with a thousand ideas. After dawdling around for a while, I took out an origami book I got a while ago for some inspiration.

This little mama and baby bear card is what I made. I like to make cards when I feel like it, and not for any particular occasion. I stockpile them and then pull them out later when I need them.

Maybe tonight I’ll feel inspired to sew again.
