Where has the sewing mojo gone?

I promised myself I wouldn't be posting again until I come up with a new sewing project.   I have really been wanting to find some use for a bunch of flex frames I had.  I was hoping today would be the day I would do just that.  I tried....spent a few hours making a simple pattern, cutting up fabric, ironing, and sewing. 

But, alas, I think my sewing mojo is gone...

I was uninspired.  I was impatient to get it over with.  My finished project was lame.





I wanted  this pouch to be sort of an errand bag, like what you can bring when you just need to make a quick trip to the supermarket or the bank or when taking the kids to school.  I suppose it's not as bad as I think but still...

I will do this again...hopefully soon.

At least, my cakes are still turning out well.



I whipped this up for my birthday last week.   It seemed like I've been waiting forever for the price of mango to go down this summer.  If it hadn't been for a trip to Costco, I could not have made this cake.

Hope to be back with my confidence up.

    Another great looking cake! I love the use of mangoes in you cake. How did you do the top of the cake, can you do a tutorial on how to ice a cake the way you did on this one. Thanks.

    Seriously, I love the little bag! The shape is very appealing to the eye, the fabric is pretty and the handle size and placement are perfect!

    Your bag is cute! I know what you mean about the sewing mojo though. I seem to have lost my crafting mojo...where does it go anyways? I've even looked in the cushions of the couch and I can't seem to find it anywhere!

    If it's not too much to ask, can i get a copy of your recipe to try it for my family? I haven't been able to find a good mango cake online.

    Happy Belated Birthday!

    Hi, I chanced upon your blog while searching for a red ribbon cake recipe and I'm really very impressed by your works. I've been longing for a taste of home and the only way to go is to try learning to cook and bake the stuff I crave for. If it's okay with you can I also get a copy of your mango cake recipe. Thanks and God Bless. (mtrtf09@yahoo.com)
