No, this isn’t a stitching blogger’s question of the week… okay, well it WAS, but this is a different post. 😉
So, now that I finished that model, my stitching mojo seems to have left me. I think maybe it’s due to the Flight 93 quilt panel just really not grabbing me right now. I think I am just going to have to start working on some things. Last Saturday, I only worked on two different things, and not for very long. First off, I put a few letters into the first name on my Flight 93 quilt panel, then I put it back onto a scroll frame. At that point, I realized that I didn’t want to remove what was on my stitching frame (which is my July Exchange gift for the VSCyberstitchers Yahoo group), but apparently I didn’t feel like working on it, either. 😆 Then, I worked a little bit on a Shepherd’s Bush scissors fob kit that is my travel project. I did nothing on Sunday, but I had a reasonable amount of fun doing it. I played some computer games, talked to my mother for two hours (!), did some paperwork, cleaned up a little bit and generally dawdled. Woohoo!
Now, during the week, I’ve been too tired to even think about stitching. I’ve had too many days of late nights and early mornings, of which tomorrow will be the worst. My parents are coming to visit this weekend, so I’ve been mildly anxious about getting portions of the house cleaned up and figuring out what we will have for dinner while they are here.
I hope that my mojo pays me a visit next week!
In the past, I’d take my MIL with me to the grocery store. It was nice to have her pull off the shelves the things they enjoyed having in the house. — don’t sweat the cleaning — Nobody is going to care.
Enjoy the week-end. TGIF
Sometimes doing nothing is good too 🙂 Have a great weekend with your parents (who I’m sure won’t mind if things aren’t 100% pristine) and I hope you get your mojo back soon!
Sorry to hear you’re not enjoying stitching at the moment.
I do hope you have a great weekend with your parents and the weather is nice and hot for you all.
Hugs

Have a great time with your folks, and you’ll find that your mojo was just waiting for you. 🙂
Ahhh dear Jenna! Been there done that..still in it. Bah! :p I have not picked up a needle for a week! *gasp* Thud..fall over..runs screaming from the house….a bit dramatic??? I have gifts I need to stitch and make…my SWC project..poor neglected Happy Everything…and what will I do be doing with my four day weekend?? Absolutely nothing! LOL Haha! Reading, writing letters, playing video games…spending time with T…all on my list…talk to me about stitching again on Wednesday..teehee.
Speaking of which my dear…the postman hasn’t forgotten you…she’s just err..waiting on something..to finish something..*ahem* cough cough….

I think sometimes we burn ourselves out with stitching – a break may be just what you need, then you’ll get back into it again 🙂 Here’s hoping … 😀
Have a great visit with your parents, Jenna, and relax! I know your stitching mojo is around here somewhere, hehe.
Jenna, I hope you find that mojo. I’ve kind of felt the same recently. Not sure if it’s just the humid summer weather, active sinuses or sometimes the (self-inflicted) pressure of having something to post on the blog. Maybe a (guilt free) short break for a couple days or a week…
