Maybe once my thyroid meds start kicking in that will help. But it is kind of depressing when you want to do something and just can't make yourself. I would love to take a class but right now just don't have the money. We have so many family dynamics going on in our house. I wish I could go somewhere and just sew for 3 days..LOL..Just venting. I will go back and read what the last suggestions were for getting back on track. thanks
Before I started my other post I was so desperate that I was actually thinking about running off to the beach for 3 days with my sewing machine and all my projects that I want to work on. I even fantasied about it but reality check. I have four young boys. A husband whose work makes him travel more than he prefers. Family and friends that are unwilling to drive one hour or less to come see me or babysit for me. Starting the post helped me sort through what I was feeling and helped me realized what I am really after. Because I really wanted help and results. I know that your meds is your main reason for feeling that. I was able to find the one thing that kept be going because it was almost mindless with very little expectation. I sewed squares of fabric together for charity. the tops are not large and the seams don't have to be perfect or match up. You can just grab some scraps and sew them together until you get to about a lap size. Find a church in your area that will take your tops for their charity. My friend's church is Lutherin. I don't know if all Lutherin church's do charity quilt tops. It sure got me through.
