Sewing Slump

There is nothing worse than a deadline. Except when you don't have one.
Almost always there is something I have to sew for...An Event , a SCA War, Something needs fixed.
But when I have the freedom to take my time and do what I want I sometimes have so many ideas I don't know where to begin.
 Do I start on a new outfit, Do I make some felt toys for the kids, do I reorganize the room and hope inspiration hits.  The last I have learned is a bad idea because then I end up starting 5 or more project ideas and have a tough time deciding which one to start first so I'm back at step one. 
Luck for me a deadline will be coming up. SCA Coronation in May.

What Next

Estrella War has come and gone so all my sewing projects got as close to done as possible for the war. Now I have a few other SCA events to sew for and Phoenix Comic Con as well.  Then there are the plans For next years war and at least one Sci-fi convention that I missed due to the war that I plan on going to next year.

I also am going to reconsider my Etsy Shop to kind of a craft of all trades or Cat of all Trades.  Sometimes you just make stuff to make because you like it or want to try something new. So it will sell a trove of stuff. Planning to take pictures this week and Post during the weekend. If I don't get to many distractions. 

So what can you expect. Well really the unexpected. I have a lifetime of sewing skills, making everything from Cloth baby wipes to costumes, Accessories to felt toys. Who knows what I may pull out of the depths of my memory to sell?  Maybe I'll even take some of that new hat making skill and design something.

I think I've reached the point were I just want to create to create.
