I usually don't get winter blues. Matter-of-fact, I generally like the winter. I usually like cold weather. It gives me lots of excuses to do the things I love the most - quilt, knit, bake, cook - you get the idea - but for some reason this year - winter got the best of me and I became a blob. I don't know whether it was because I spent January and most of February dealing with a terrible case of Shingles (note to everyone - get the vaccine if you can! Trust me!) or if I'm just getting older and not dealing with the cold as well.
I didn't knit as much, I didn't quilt at all, and I barely went near my poor neglected sewing machine/area.
But recently I've been restless. Call it Spring fever maybe, or just the fact that I'm tired of dark colors and heavy knits - but I've been hearing those little voices from my material stash saying "ohhhhh, I would look lovely as a skirt" and the patterns in the cabinet all saying "pick me, pick me." So maybe this weekend I'll get past the cold and start something with a little bit of color.
Might get me out of these winter blahs I've been having. Any suggestions?
