March 2022 WIPocalypse Check-In

Hello everyone!

Happy Sunday! It’s a lovely spring day here in Rhode Island – the sun is shining, the grass is beginning to green, and we have forsythia flowers and lilac buds starting to reveal themselves.

I’ve been in a bit of a stitching slump since I returned from my retreat last month. I just could not get myself motivated to really work well on anything. Experience tells me to not force it, though – I’m in no danger of not stitching anymore unless I try to make it a chore. So I get a few stitches done here and there, and just enjoy whatever else is attracting my brain. 🙂 How do you work through a slump? Do you find pushing through and forcing yourself to stitch more effective, or do you put it down for a while and do other things?

I’ll be away next month during the update time, so I’m scheduling that post today. No more getting myself too far behind!
