Maybe a breakthrough!

I think I may have solved my lack of motivation at the weekend, and cured another niggling problem into the bargain :)
I'm usually totally useless at sewing over the weekend, and always feel cross with myself for 'wasting' two whole days. Also, over the last few weeks I've become interested in my BJDs again (asian ball jointed dolls), but never manage to find the time to 'play' (they need new clothes and I want to start doing photo stories again so need to sort props and room sets for them) because I'm sewing costumes all the time, except, it seems, at weekends!
So my solution was obvious! I can sew and make props for my BJDs at the weekends, (and take photos for stories in daylight) and spend the week working on costumes. Last week I spent working on my ball gown for the Gothic Romance ball, and the weekend I played! I got lots done, and then this afternoon after work I put all my dolly things away and got out the books and patterns and things for the floral polonaise.
So now Meg is all dressed and ready to go, and the skirt is ripped and one seam half sewn. Not bad considering I had visitors who didn't leave till 7pm, then Mummy came home and we had supper :)
