Muse Missing

Reward for Missing Muse> If found please return.

What do you do when you have lost your muse? How do you get that feeling back? What do you do? HELP!

Mine has been missing for a while and really got totally lost in May. I don't know if it is because I have so much that needs to be done or what. All I know is that I really don't want to sew or quilt right now. I start but the minute I have to problem solve I quit. This is not a good thing. I haven't been able to complete the projects that I have started and have no desire to start the ones that I need to start.
I have pulled fabric that I don't really like and cut it into strips. Pulling fabric allowed me to be touchy feely with all my fabric. I have pulled fabric that I loved along with patterns that I adore. Nothing! I have read blog by some very creative people but nothing has inspired me.
This situation is very troubling.

Stash Busting Father's Day

Happy Father's Day!! And Happy B-day to my son, Xjr.
This week was a week of bdays starting with mine so not much sewing was accomplished. I did however manage to start and complete a twinning rug from plastic grocery bags. We do not throw them away easily or quickly, since it takes over 500 years for them to return to earth friendly substances. Now I have a way to repurpose them longer.
On Wednesday, Pam, my BFF, came over and we worked in my sewing room. She worked on blocks and I twinned. Thursday, I slept for my BD waiting for my DH to celebrate my BD...he dropped that ball. Friday I worked on bead bags and my rug. Saturday, I finished the rug and worked on bead bags. Today I have more bead bags to make....I promised to make 10 for the guild meeting.
Stash Report:
Used this week: 2.5 yds (5 bead bags)
Used YTD: 75.5
Added this week: 0
Added YTD: 87.5
Net stash busted: -12 yards. Slowly but surely it is getting to zero.
Goals for Week:
1) Finish all 10 bead bags.
2) Walk at least 10 miles.
3) Work on and possible finish step 1 quilting of Meow charity quilt.
a) Step 1: Stitch in ditch of horizontal rows.
b) Step 2: Stitch vertical rows every 6" across quilt.
c) Step 3: Quilt cats in blocks made by vertical and horizontal stitching.
4) Have a great time at workshop in Covington on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
