Apparently, I needed a little blogging break and didn't realize I did, until I took it. ;o) I was feeling burnt out.

| Basting is underway on the Swoon quilt I started last year. |
Imagine this. I haven't been sewing at all for the past month (shocking, I know, the truest indicator of lost mojo ;o). I had things in my life that were weighing me down, so I slowed things down for a bit. Regrouped and focused my energy into other things that keep me healthy and happy. Like time outdoors and time spent exercising. However, I have been busy designing things on paper. There are lots of things I want to make and I even have a tutorial in the works for sharing. Lots to be excited about! A break was the right thing to do and now I'm back.
I took a little break in August. I agree that it definitely helps. Glad to see you are back.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you were able to step back. I think we all need that. Looking forward to seeing your makes
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean!

Hi Katherine! I hope you are fine! It's always enjoy to read your posts so I hope to see soon what you are making! x Teje
ReplyDeleteYou are so right about listening to that inner voice that tells us to slow down! I know I don't sew as much as used to because I like to walk most days! It's all about balance! I hope you are back into tiptop form- now or soon! I look forward to seeing your tutorial too!
ReplyDeleteI have been taking breaks, too. My job takes up some of my time and I find it easier to post snippets on Instagram.
ReplyDeleteI love the bright happy colors in your quilt!
Welcome Back! We all need a hiatus and I hope you are feeling refreshed.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, sometimes a break helps a lot!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back and I'm glad you're taking time to care for yourself...good for you!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see you back! I was thinking just yesterday that if you didn't post soon, I'd write and see if you were okay. Glad also to read that it was just a break to refresh and recharge. We all need those to stay healthy.
ReplyDeleteBreaks can be great for recharging and refocusing. Glad to see you back.
ReplyDeleteGlad your time away was fruitful and inspiring, my friend.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a beautiful Thanksgiving weekend.
Hugs,
Brenda

I hope you're feeling better now and the blog break did the trick. I 've lost my sewing mojo somewhat too, but luckily my embroidery, beading and crochet mojos are going strong.
