Filling the Vessel

Today my husband and I took about 4 hours and cleaned his mum's one-bedroom apartment. Yep--took us four hours! Kind of a mess.
Anyway--I got a lot of good thinking done while scrubbing the tub. I was wondering why, lately, I was not getting a lot of "art" done while in my work room; I've been letting myself get distracted by all sorts of stuff. Then I realized...I've been "filling the vessel". I've been reading, doing internet research, taking pictures, looking at artists' work. With these activities, I've been sorting, in my head, the quilts I want to make, and prioritizing them. I'm not sure how long this phase will last...
Not too long, actually. I have some deadlines coming up!

Update: I did find the spellcheck feature, but I need to find out how to re-arrange lettering on the title block--it's just not very...elegant the way it is. Any help would be appreciated....
