I hope that Ally Pally lifts your spirits and if not take pride in that lovely Light and Shadow piece. Your problem solving with the dark piece worked really well.

My second thought is there are some things you have to do & others you couldn't bear to miss out on which I can totally relate to - we need to keep striving to find the 'perfect' balance, at least a little more than we might have had. Use AP as medecine but have a good sit down 1/2 way thru. Also, look at those collage & embellished piece & tell yourself they are not bad at all (& hear me telling YOU they're wonderful!)Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114514969969050590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1632847120981731957.post-4309404732264055962011-10-07T09:33:14.613+01:002011-10-07T09:33:14.613+01:00I'm sure All Pally will do the trick and cheer...I'm sure All Pally will do the trick and cheer you up.

I love your blogs but when you have so much going on in your life, it's wise to let go of those things which are not essential - like blogging! Just for a season...

Hang in there. Yes, I have noticed that when I get into a rut and don't post, it gets really hard and I think about closing my blog but then I get back into it and am glad I didn't. You HAVE had a very tough year so it's only realistic that you get down, low down a few times during the period! Sheesh, you are human lady! <br />Except as far as quilting; there you are more than human. You do great work and being in the challenge ought to be good for you. When you want to push ahead you need a group you feel is better than you as then you won't slack but will stretch yourself instead. <br /><br />Nice job on this first challenge.
