YOTA March - Dimensions Gold Elegance of the Orient

Well it's YOTA time here again, this one seem to come around too quickly. Unfortunately this month I made no progress on this piece, not a single stitch.

Here she is as of last month's check in and still is:

Dimensions Gold - Elegance of the Orient
I really had hoped that this would be a finish for me this month, however everytime I picked it up to work on it I just couldn't seem to get into my stitching groove. The same thing happened with both my HAP SAL piece, HAED Bridge of Wings, and my lunch time mini project.

In the last week there were a number of days when I was really excited by the idea of going home and settling down for an eveing of stitching. I would get all my supplies together and fully intent on making some progress. After a few minutes I would find that I just wasn't enjoying the process and would have to put it down again. Unfortunately this means that I have nothing new to show you all today but hopefully my creativity will be back on track soon.

In the meantime head to the YOTA page on the top right of this blog and check out how the others are doing.

  1. Your stitching mojo will come back, sometimes we need a break.

  2. Oh, I've had times like that, too. I usually read a book for a few nights and then tell myself I only have to stitch for 15 minutes. Usually I get back in the groove and stitch longer, but sometimes I end up having to start a new piece ... : )

  3. Hope your stitchy bug returns soon. Your geisha is looking really good....even though you didn't manage any stitching on her! :) Dare I say it, but maybe a new project to get your mojo back again?!! (I'm such an enabler!!)

  4. I guess we all have our days/weeks where I can't seem to focus on stitching and I am very confident it will get better again =) So don't worry about it to much =) There will surely be a bunch of progress to show next month =)

  5. Mojos come and mojos go and yours is obviously on leave at the moment. I do hope it comes back soon as I love watching your progress. :)

  9. She is beautiful! Sometimes one needs to put a project away for a while. I do that quite a bit. She will come back to you.

  12. Don't feel too disappointed about not finishing it, putting pressure on only make the bug go wandering!

    I hope that you manage to tempt the bug back with something crafty very soon!

  13. I'm sorry you've lost your mojo :-( That's no fun. It will find it's way back soon, I hope.

  14. I get like that sometimes too, I can tell because I spend more time playing Candy Crush or Secret Society than actually stitching! Even though my stitching is out.
