I've had a bit of quilters block since I got back from holiday. I started on my next bee block a few times with not much to show for it. I started on a few things for the shop, I have begun drafting a new pattern but my heart wasn't really in any of it.
I want to sew, make something pretty, create something new but with lack of inspiration and zero determination to finish what I have started I am obviously not getting anywhere!
What do you do when you find yourself in a creative slump?
The thing that helps me is to finally make time to sew one of the many patterns I have been meaning to sew. It very much feels like a KitKat moment when I don't have to come up with a design and instead just play with my pretty fabrics.
So I started with one popsicle block and well, one blissful sewing marathon later (thank god for play dates!) I sat back to behold the sugary sweetness of my new pillow.

Just as I was wondering where to put such a girly pink pillow fit for a princess my little Mr. came home.
'is that for me?'
-Do you like it?
'uhm, yes'
-Can you tell what it is?
....
' ice cream!! will you put it in my room mum?'
-But yes of course sweetheart!
He ran back out to show it to his friend.
'look my mum made this all by herself!'
Be still my heart.
