For the second week of creativity month I decided first to repair a UFO crazy quilt piece of mine from the scrap bin so I could make it into something.
Fromy my UFO bin I took these two blocks, which I put together from scraps to make into a gift bag, so I could finish what I'd started.
Another UFO I worked on was this orphanned patchwork block, which was already quilted and just needed binding.
I got out a box of beautiful materials I collected in an inspiration box years ago and finally got to work with them.
Some mini totes and a stack of orphan patchwork blocks turned into two projects.
I also did a scrap bag challenge, which was to use this bag of scraps and patchwork from my stash to make as many things as I could in one day.
Now that I'm halfway through this month's challenge, some observations: I'm definitely happier, and much more motivated (I'm also keeping up with my calendar mood crochet project.) It feels great to accomplish so much; for a while this summer I was a bit depressed over how little I was getting done. This is a great mood booster and self-confidence builder. For me it's not so much about making heaps of things as it is having something new to look forward to and tackle every day. It's absolutely made me feel a lot better about August. :)
