Do you remember the old wives tales about canning while you have your period? I've heard people reminisce about disasters in the kitchen, being chased out of the kitchen by their grandmothers, and others that insist that there is no correlation, whatsoever.
However, if sewing on my long arm today was any indication, I would have to agree... I spent 2 hours making ONE pass across my quilt. I did it....but, oh....the determination it took! Check out the picture of my hard won progress below!

So, how did I keep myself motivated when it felt like the whole world was trying to halt my progress and block my goals?
I made myself a playlist of music on YouTube. I started with a few songs that I like, but don't own, but quickly wound up playing "match that mood" across some pretty diverse genres, and eventually, morphed into a reflection of my mood, and who I am today. So, what started as an uphill battle turned into a space of self love because I was singing, and quilting, and connecting with me while I "arted". Want to gain an understanding of who I am from a shared cultural experience? Check out my playlist....And maybe even share yours....?
