Case in point: this week, while I should have been sleeping (or at the very least, when I should have been doing other important things like cleaning my house, or working on the grant I need to submit on Friday afternoon at work), I hung out in my sewing room.
Monday night, I was inspired by this pillow on etsy.com:

I headed up to my sewing room, looking to make a similar pillow, but in the process of getting out my scrap bag, my eyes fell on the boring beige lampshade, which I've been wanting to decorate for some time.
Although I like the clean look in the picture above, in real life, it constantly looks boring. It's been boring me long enough that I accidentally killed the above pictured plant during the time that lapsed.
Doesn't it look much more dapper?
Yesterday evening, I suddenly decided that I absolutely needed a charcoal gray clutch purse to attend a wedding this weekend. I didn't want to spend a lot of money, so I shelled out $10 for supplies at Jo-anns and, by the end of the evening, had a gray clutch purse!
So while I'm a little extra tired, it was worth it to have two cute new projects! Tonight while I was supposed to be sleeping (and still supposed to be finishing that grant!), I wrote this blog post :) What exciting things keep you from meeting your recommended 8 hours??

Reading your blog is one of the things that keeps me up!
