Miss Crankypants and the Case of the Finished Items

Ever since Sew We Quilt hosted that Nancy Drew blog hop I have been finding myself taking every day titles and photo captions and making into possible titles for a ND book.  Well, obviously not a real book title.  We've had a lot of crankiness here lately and not just on Miss Z's part.  I know I am not alone in saying that lately I feel like I am losing my motivation.  Not only do I not want to get my LONG, LONG list completed, but I haven't snuck off to start new projects, well except that one.  I just don't really want to work on anything really, except maybe take a nap.  I have been reading this lately all over the blogworld from other quilters, so I know that I am not alone.

So Thursday night I made myself do something while I was watching that new show "the moment" on tv.  I also finished up the last little bit today on these projects and so I have 2 more done! *\o/* *\o/*

The Spring Checkers project was made from the left-overs from the following 4-patch & Squares Baby Quilt.  I still had eve more 4-patch boxes that I am making into a couple bibs, which hopeful with be completed soon.  I started this following Quilt I think early 2012, but it might have been Fall of 2011...needless to say it has lingered!

Hey I also forgot to share with you my Birthday day bib finish from last month, so instead of re-writing another post I am showing you one of the sites I share my finished projects on, you can find my post HERE!

Thanks for stopping by, I certainly hope things will settled down here and I can bring more finishes to share!

    Lovely, Shanna! I've also learned that just doing some clean up or working on an old project is sometimes just what I need for that motivation to come back. :)

    What an awesome use of extra pieces! Love the tabletop checkerboard. :) Very nice push through a slow-down in mojo. Sometimes we just lose steam. It happens. :)

    Gorgeous finishes, Shanna. We all seem to be losing mojo lately. I think it's been a very long winter and we need some sunshine!

    It seems as though when the warmer weather hits, many people loose their mojo. I think they call it spring fever!!!

    Your checkerboard idea and quilt are just fabulous.

    My sewing focus has been on little zipper pouches, even though there is a commissioned quilted waiting to be designed and made! I've made 6 in the past few days. Your table toppers are cute! I love the back on the second one.
