Sewing Mojo, Where Are You?

What is it about this time of the year, that my sewing mojo seems to disappear? I have so much on my sewing table and in queue but I've been coming home and the last thing I want to do is head to the work space that once brought me so much joy.  


It hasn't helped that I've been fighting a sore throat, runny nose and sweats the past couple of weeks.  


And wearing a wrist splint for what is suspected to be a tear. 


But I really need to clear this project off the sewing table. 


And I have to get ready for sewing club starting up later this month. One more word to embroider and I really want to finish the sample "I ♡ to Read" bookmark with the word "sleep".  


I'd probably sleep through the night if the velcro on the wrist brace would stop sticking to the flannel sheets. Hmmm, maybe I need to sew a velcro-less wrist brace? Or find my sewing mojo...  

Happy Sewing!

  1. Just a quick comment about your brace - I had to wear one a couple of years ago for quite some time a panda the Velcro drove me nuts too! So I cut up an old cotton sock at the ankle, and used the leg part that was like a tube, pulling it over my brace at night - it stopped all the issues with the Velcro! You may need to use a man's sock, depending how bulky your brace is, or you could run a 'cover' up with jersey from an old t-shirt.

    Hope the mojo returns soon!

    1. I have another long day today, a nap would be so sweet. It'll have to wait until the weekend though.
