I seem to have lost my quilting mojo for the time being. Not sure what is wrong... the new job with the census bureau, a problem with my depression meds, just general ennui, addiction to Evony... pick one.. pick any or all. Whatever it is, I force myself to do a little from time to time, but I'm just not up to my usual speed, determination or inspiration.
I DID do something fun this last weekend - I went to Renaissance Faire. I attended their 'Queen's College' and learned how to make batiks! that was SO much fun... probably more fun than I've ever had before at Ren Faire, at least since my 'going in costume' days. They had all these crafty classes, and if I'd been there sans husband, I could have stayed all day making things. As it was, I only did the batik class. We got to work on muslin and on silk... oh my... that was fun and really made me want to work with fabric again. I hope I can carry that inspiration back home with me.
Today I am grateful for being alive. 'nuff said.
