When my hobby becomes a stress it is time to step back and do something else. I have been reading when I could grab a minute.

It seems too many of us push ourselves to the point of stressing out about our projects, and UFO's and too many scraps, and too big a stash, and self-imposed deadlines, and "should ofs' and "could ofs" and "didn't", and, and ..... What's the point, and where's the fun in that? Take the day off. Enjoy yourself. Pull out the paper plates (or go OUT to eat) and don't worry if you don't get the big girl panties washed today.

And occasionally you just lose your quilting mojo & feel unmotivated, which is where I am right now. Instead, I'm in a reading mood, which is fine. Also, if you can't find your big girl panties, you can always go commando, lol.karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02569780615074642668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-43551981909380456312014-11-19T09:01:51.026-05:002014-11-19T09:01:51.026-05:00We do it to ourselves don't we?

But what's the worst thing that can happen? It doesn't get done today - not never - just not today. And that's okay.
