I'm starting to be back to myself after a few days of rest and not going near the machine. I am also a bit of a perfectionist and my machine seemed to be getting angry with me....if that makes sense....start to sew, thread breaks, start to sew and bobbin thread runs out (and the sensor never beeped to tell me I was low)...it was one thing after another and I had had it. Today I plan to sew some fun little things that always make me laugh when I'm working on them and we finally have pretty white snow outside! Although I am an adult, that snow is mighty tempting to go run and make a snow angel in or build a snowman! After all, I will always be a kid at heart! Hehehe Thanks for sharing the links and the wise words of wisdom. It's good to know that others find themselves in a sewing funk from time to time.
