In line with this attitude adjustment I have been making time for the 15 minute challenge. I have reacquainted myself with this quilt and have put together 2 more stars, just have to do the centre and outside border... sorry no picture....
I also have hemmed 5 pairs of pants for Squid and myself (I don't actually count that as sewing though).
And started this block from Jen Kingswell's The Circle Game which is all hand pieced. I have completed the circle from one of the other blocks but I don't like it, so I think I will be starting again on that one but this one seems to be just my style.
So the challenge went like this:
Wednesday - Nothing
Thursday - Circle Game
Friday - hemming and Circle Game
Saturday - Star Burst
Sunday - Star Burst
Monday - Starburst / Circle Game
Tuesday - Starburst
Head on over to Kate's to see who has met the challenge this week.
Here is my project from last week's Xmas in July.

I go through runs like that too (and by the way hemming pants is definitely not FUN sewing)
Good luck with finding your creativity gene again. You have been under rather a lot of pressure and that always saps the will to create.
I know what you mean about working closer to home. I always hated that drive. It's hard to be creative when there is so much happening in your home life. Take care my friend.
Lots of nice work this week!
I've definitely gone through times of homelife funk that affected my creativity. Luckily the sewing room always offers a cure if we let it!
Hope that Squid is getting better. It's hard to do fun stuff for yourself when you've got a kiddo that's not feeling well. Glad you got in a bit of sewing, hopefully that will jump start your creativity some. Love the button bag!

Wow, looking at your quilts and blocks, I see that I'm not creative at all. That is such an intricate and beautiful block.
