Have you noticed that creativity needs a little extra boost to get going after all the holidays are done? I don't seem to have the energy or inspiration to get the motivation into gear. Its more like getting the butt into gear. I have many things that I want to get going on like my grandchildren's teddy bears that didn't get done by Christmas.
Is anyone else having this problem? I contribute a lot of it to lack of sunshine and warmth. Good excuse heh? No, really, I need to recharge my solar batteries. When it is so cold I just want to stay bundled up and my studio is upstairs and I usually block that area off so that I am not heating up rooms that aren't in use 24/7.
I guess I will just have to open it up long enough to get some things stitched up and or cut out.
I am making slow headway on my daughters cross stitch sampler that will include her family children's names,births and her wedding date.
I can also see the restlessness in my little girl. Heheh, little? Yea right. Well, I guess this all means that we need a lot more exercise so, GOD, if you are listening, I could use some nice sunny weather to get the ole batteries recharged please? I promise to be good and not yell at my four legged kids when they chew up my new socks, or when they want to play at 3:00 am .

Happy New Year! And yes I am sitting my butt down too much! I do have lots of inspiration with all the blogs I visit every day, Getting started on some of those projects is hard when I have 20 that aren't even completed yet.
I did get together 2 quilts to send off to be quilted. The larger tops I send out. I still have at least 5 smaller ones to quilt and I just finished putting together my Cat in the Hat quilt and really want to get that finished this weekend.
Well we are expecting some more snow. So much for global warming, hasn't been warm in months.:P I hope we get another few feet then I will be snowed in and forced to sit around!!
Better go I am at work ya know! On break.
good luck with your winter blues and
SNAP OUT OF IT.!! AND GET BUSY
