Something Terry Pratchett used to describe a character, but sometimes I feel like that. It's not a complaint, unless I'm in a spot where I don't have the latitude to just go make stuff to see if it'll work.
At such times, having ideas sleeting at you is not nearly as fun.
This weekend the idea that hit me was Fidget Pillows. I know they exist, along with lap quilts--one search on Pinterest was enough to learn that. But you know how ideas can occur spontaneously anywhere & when, so the pillow thing was one for me.
My In-Laws came up from Phoenix (hubby's brother & wife) for the day Sunday. She has her chair by my end of the couch, and I'd put my recently finished crazy quilt pillow in her chair, knowing she likes to have something in her lap. One side has little charms and tactile bits of embroidery, lace, buttons, etc. The other is smooth flannel. During our visit, she sat with the "scratchy" side down on her lap, with her arms resting on the flannel. But at one point, her conversation ventured into an upsetting personal subject. I noticed the pillow right side up, the little cat charm and buttons proving an outlet for restless hands.
Today is Tuesday, which (every other week) is a day I clean for a nice lady around the corner. I clean for another one tomorrow, much larger job. But maybe this weekend I can come up with a Fidget Pillow Pattern and see if it works.
I hope your week is fabulous!
