Yesterday, I had the quilting blahs. I couldn't get enthused about any particular project or even put the material together to start one. I ended up making little Christmas ornaments. I have a lot of 3 1/2" muslin squares and bags of scraps so I sewed strips and little squares and other arrangements onto the muslin and came up with almost a dozen ornaments. I will now sew on a back, stuff, and add a hanger. These are nice to put on a parcel, stick into a stocking or even give as hostess gifts. So, sometimes even the blahs can result in a useful project.
I have been very concerned about a family member for some time so I haven't been able to work up much enthusiasm for anything or at least not for an extended period of time. There isn't anything I can do about the situation except trust but that doesn't stop the worry or occasional meltdown.
I am not sure of what the outcome of it all will be but, as with everything else, I try to take each day as it comes, be thankful for the blessings I have and pray.
Yesterday after quilt group, I put a top in the frame and today I will start quilting it. I had to catch up on housework and need to go into the village for a few errands but should be able to get a bit of it done today. Doing something relatively mindless is often what the brain needs.
blessings,
I've been in one of those blah moods the last few day too. Maybe it's the cycle of the moon, or the weather. Whatever it is better pass soon, I have a ton of quilting to get finished! Your ornaments were productive I'm sure. Pictures?
