Loss of sewing mojo

I got a bit of sewing done on the mug rug last week and I thought that it meant I would have an extremely productive 3 day weekend. It didn't happen!

Friday night, I finished up my work project.

Saturday, I woke up with an urge to piece, I had visions of getting all my blocks done for the Split Decision quilt. Or all the stitching on the applique for the witches. I didn't do either. I actually didn't work on anything crafty until about 7.

Sunday, it was all about the same although I did pick up my two at a time socks and finished the legs. I had to pull the books out to see what the next steps were for the heel flaps and got started on those, too.

Today, I finally just decided to watch TV and work on the socks. I turned on a movie and got my sewing area all straightened up and when I sat down to watch the second, I fell asleep. But once I woke up and finished the second movie, I was ready to sew and I worked on a Midget Block. I finally got something done!

I hope that I can get myself to sewing next weekend! And it feels like this will lead to a Year of the PIGS question in the future.

And the Year of the PIGS question for this week is - Give some stats on your PIGS! What is your oldest and how old is it? Do you have a list of your PIGS and is it current? How many PIGS and UFOs do you have? Be prepared to answer on Wednesday. :)

Sounds like you needed a TLC weekend - watching TV while knitting sounds like a delightful way to spend a winter weekend. Guess I'll be counting PIGS tomorrow (the UFOs are listed already).

I felt the same way today! Had to force myself to head down to the basement to work on Jenna's quilt. Let's hope next weekend is better!

Putting your feet up and having "you" time away from piecing is just fine, girl. Don't kick yourself over it; we all need to re-energize at some time or another.

Happy Monday!

Oh I know what you mean! I've had to make myself get up!! Once up, I get very little done. I also cleaned me sewing table but that was about the extent of it. Just can't make myself do anything else...

The PIGS....you probably really don't want to know about mine!!! I would be embarrassed to even count mine! LOL!

Since you vegged out over the weekend, now you're all ready to sew during the week!

Funny, I actually did sew last weekend. We like to do the opposite.

I COULDNT EVEN BEGIN TO GUESS HOW MANY UFO'S AND PIGS I HAVE. MY OLDEST WOULD BE ABOUT 27 YEARS OLD. THE SECOND OLDEST IS ABOUT 19 OR 20 YEARS OLD. THE 19 TO 20 YEAR OLD IS A QUILT TOP THAT STILL HASNT BEEN QUILTED. SOMETIMES WE JUST NEED TO VEG....HAPPY QUILTING...I DID GET A SCRAPBOOK FINISED THAT I HAVE BEEN WORKING FOR A WHILE...WOWOWOW NOW TO SEND IT OFF TO GRANKIDS....HAVE MORE IN THE WORKS...
