MarchyJ,
I am 74 and had a bad slump last year ! Nothing I cut out came out right. anyway, yeaterday it was 94 here in Fla. and I went into the sewing room and started cutting out the rest of this new pattern. Now I am getting my old gusto back. You'll get your old motavation back. When I was going thru 6 weeks of Radiation daily, I still wordked on my patterns and it really helped my sanity.
So, keep up your spirit and do a little praying along the way.
