maybe its the slump of the holidays
But I haven't done any sewing in weeks! and feel like I am at a loss reason for not wanting to get in there and start doing what needs done! I am going to fold and put away the remainder of Christmas fabric for next year, I have things I need to do and just can't seem to get started!
anyone else like this?? So what do we do?? |
I'm in the same rut as you maybe we need to push each other out of the rut and back into the sewing room! (today though it feels like it's a deep ditch on this end lol)
|
especially with it raining here! I have the blahs!! and maybe we do need to get each other motivated, somehow,
well looking at the patterns I have, and looking at other patterns on here,or ones online, nothing has grabbed me "yet"! Valentines a month away, could think on that? |
Instead of starting with something you need to do, start with something you want to do.

Take a nap (smile). Warm a hot cup of coffee or cocoa and pull out that book you have been meaning to start or go visit a friend that has not been visited for too long. All will be well and sewing inspiration will begin again.

Yes, I am going through it also - I usually experience this around the same time every year - I think it has to do with the weather and not so much sun - it just takes the body a little time to adjust to less sunlight - at least that is my opinion - I can't wait to get out of this slump because I have new fabric coming in and just can't make myself go to the sewing machine. Hang in there - we will get past this - just takes a little time.

When I have house work to do but want to quilt....I set my timer for 30 min or so and do a dreaded chore. I think that could work in reverse. Set a timer and spend the time doing quilty things. However, I couldn't wait to get into a new quilt on Monday. I want to do something for fun and not the pressure of Christmas gifts.:) Happy quilting!

well looks like the chocolate did the trick, anyway the other day. I also am looking forward to starting sewing projects. on eat a time that is!
