Inspiration v Motivation

I'm going to be honest I have been struggling the last couple of weeks...I am constantly inspired and have so many ideas of things I want to do, but I am really lacking in motivation to do anything.  Just writing that sentence makes me want to cry...yes I know that sounds dramatic, but every night I go to bed annoyed at how little I have achieved.

I am definitely afraid of failure and I think sometimes I put projects off so I don't fail...if I don't try I can't fail right!?

I need to find a strategy to work through this as at the moment it is making me miserable...

So things I AM going to achieve by the end of this month...

1. Make at least one new cushion for my Etsy shop
2. Design at least 5 new cards
3. Post in the Etsy group I've been invited to join (can you believe it, little old me!)
4. Make candles for the wedding 
5. Blog more!
6. Put either my Etsy or Blog link on Facebook (this is a biggie for me!)

A Little Dollop Of Inspiration

I am still beavering away on my cushion cover...at this rate it might just be ready for Christmas! I did work out that if I sold it based on me being paid minimum wage for the amount of time I've taken over it, I would have to sell it for, wait for it...£133.95!! A little steep - if your lucky I'll throw the cushion in for free!

So, I either need to get speedier at my sewing or look to tackle slightly smaller projects. I was mulling over this dilemma I came across this in Grazia (17th October Issue) and there it was - clutch bags. I've made a few in the past and this was the perfect piece to reignite my interest.

My fav is the pink and white bag in the middle which looks remarkably like a laptop/iPad case to me.
