I always find it so difficult to get back into the swing of things after craft month. I think I've crafted myself out.
Of course, this is compounded by the uptick at work. We have an event where donors meet their scholars in mid April, and we've been expanding it to make the trip back to campus more attractive. So, instead of spending three or four hours at work on a Saturday for a luncheon, this weekend I worked from 8:00 am to 5:30 pm on Saturday after working late on Friday. Standing on my feet all day. I literally crawled onto the couch and under the fluffy blanket on Friday night. (I had to skip stamping I was so tired!)
I did not get into the garden as planned at all this weekend.
I have stitched a bit, while watching Poirot. (Somehow we missed all the later ones (series 10+), the darker (and better) episodes.)
I have been working on my small mostly, and ignoring my rotation. It's a big small packed with stitches. In the past two weeks, I have taken a few stitches on Waldorff (previously) and Our Souls (previously) as well. Who knows what tomorrow will bring? At some point, I'll be back in the groove, and I will stitch on Cinnamon Stars--that was your pick to be added to the rotation.
Also, my rooster has arrived in Alaska. Or the rooster formerly known as mine...

I think Waldorff looks dashing and the flowers on Our Souls are looking good. I think once you get your groove back, your rotation will re-appear along with the rotation focus.
Glad your back Nikki. Lovely stitching.

Missed your posts - glad you're back. Both projects are looking good and I'm sure you'll been in your groove soon.
That rooster looked like he was quite the cock of the walk! Fiery, fearless,and dangerous! Glad you could let him go. The two projects look much sweeter and I particularly love Waldorf. I had to go look at his name, again. I want to call him Poindexter!
Well, that sounds exhausting! Any progress at this point is good progress. Good luck!
That "work" business is such a drag! Apparently 3 days a week is the optimum amount of work for the over 40s.
Will the artist keep you updated as to what happens to your rooster now?
I can easily understand that craft month can be a bit exhausting. But with Waldorf and your small you will get back into the swig of things very soon.
