It has been too long since I have done anything creative.  I haven’t cooked a meal in over a week (or baked), sewn anything or made anything either! Which means that my brain is brimming with ideas and I can’t keep track of them or turn them off when I am trying to sleep.  I lay in bed for over and hour before I fell asleep last night.  Here are some of the ideas that are overflowing from my creative brain:

• paint the picnic basket deep red and put in sewing room with magazines.  Should I use a polyurethane on it after I paint?
• finding a washable red velvet to turn the vintage rose napkins into pillow covers, hiding a zipper in the back seam
• brown silk curtains for my bedroom, check tuesday morning first then ebay/craigslist
• PAINT BATHROOM saturday afternoon, buy bead board and have Aaron spray with the right paint
• I have so many quilt ideas it’s not even funny
• bean bag toss game idea (i saw something at a park that inspired me to create something), shh, I can’t say more but I think it will be a great spring outdoor game.
• what fun foods should I bring to Jaylee’s white elephant party?  what can a wrap up for the white elephant?

Those are a few of the things that I am mulling over.  The kids and I are flying home tonight, after they are in bed I may just ring in the new year by sewing something.  Anything, just to create!  Yesterday at the OK Children’s Museum I found myself painting a valentines day card, my husband laughed and then I told him I NEEDED to create something!

Happy New Year to All!  I have big plans for 2009, I hope you stick around to see….
