I have been trying to come up with something for our quilted holiday village at work. I decided to
go rogue and do a quilted igloo (what the heck - it's a house, too, right?) but it just isn't happening. I wanted it to look primitive and sincere but I think I'm getting more of a "what were you thinking" kind of vibe. I might caulk the joints with some pearl cotton embroidery floss, that might pull it all together, but until I do I'm not even going to attempt to finish the entrance/door block. It could all be for naught.I'm bummed that I'm not in the usual pre-holiday groove. Granted, there are some serious family issues going on right now and I feel like I have been hit by a grain truck, but I really wish I could find the trigger to get my hands going on something. I always feel better when I'm sewing or embroidering. Maybe I'll pop in the movie ELF - that always makes me smile, and maybe it will jump-start my engines. What do you do to get yourself out of a rut? I'd love to hear from you.
