It's January in the upper Midwest which normally would bring cold and snow. I never used to mind winter, because we went skiing. And we had jobs that kept us very busy. Now that we're old and retired (relatively) those fun ski trips are long in the past, and we're home a LOT. With little interaction with actual live people. And this month has been so gloomy! Every day we have a grey sky and brown landscape. ARGGGG! Can you tell I'm struggling with that scenario?
Maybe I should be sewing with brighter colors this week. And reading cheerful books. And stop watching/reading the news! And get out of the house to do something fun!
OK - I did leave the house long enough yesterday to pick up a prescription refill and a few groceries. That doesn't count as doing something fun however. But I did get some sewing done that is somewhat cheerful. The 8 blocks needed for month #1 of Saturday Sampler are pieced, with a goal of getting them sewn into rows today. I also got a start on tracing out some of the applique pieces that maybe will go onto this section of the quilt.
A few more Lupines & Laughter blocks were my leaders/enders while sewing all those strips together. So far only 5 blocks are finished - 3 of one and 2 of the other. It's forward progress, and has no deadline.
