Sometimes life throws us stuff that we just have to accept and deal with, because we really can't change it. "Just keep swimming" is a good motto for life in general!
Sometimes just the act of sewing is therapeutic. Even if you feel your mind and body are too tired for a creative moment; “just keep sewing”. Sometimes a project is a little more monotonous than you anticipated; “just keep sewing”. The act of moving fabric through the machine is just the therapy you need to calm your soul; “just keep sewing”.
Sitting and worrying will not help; by sewing you are at least accomplishing something.
Now lest you think this is a very depressing theme, there is an up side!!
“Just keep sewing”.... work on your mindless projects, your scrappy projects, your strip piecing projects!! Challenge yourself to make up so many blocks, or use up this basket of strips, or just set those blocks and get it done.
Take a cue from Gladys, and don't over think it; “just keep sewing”!! Get that assembly line going and sew, sew, sew!
Maybe you can get ready by doing all the thinking, cutting, arranging, finding or pinning ahead of time, so after work, or on the weekend, you can “just keep sewing”.
Hopefully you will have a pile of blocks, or an empty scrap basket, a completed flimsy or whatever goal you set. You could use this to work through a procrastination point, or just sew strips together that you will find a plan for later. You decide, just keep sewing, and hopefully smiling.... at least stay sane!
“Just keep sewing”!
