How long has it been since you quit your outside-of-the-home job? You may just need to rest awhile and catch your breath before you're ready to tackle a quilt. When I was a teaching I learned early on that it usually took me one to two weeks in June to just sit and rock and relax before I was ready to take on any summer activities. I literally was exhausted. Plus, if you're raising kids yet that'll wear you out for sure. Take some time for you and go ahead and take a nap with that chihuahua. It's okay!
I also found that I had quilter's block this winter. I'm still not quite sure how I got out of my rut. I finally picked up a project that'd been on my 'to do' list for about three years and that's all it took. Weird! I think sometimes our bodies just say, "Rest! Now!" and you shall! :wink:
AND THEN go shopping!!!!!!!!!! :mrgreen:
