Okay, the truth is, I'm having a crap week. I've had this sort of grinding headache for days and I've been depressed. On Tuesday, I had a hard time making myself leave the apartment. I don't usually talk about this kind of thing. I feel like I'm exaggerating or complaining or showing some form of weekness. Or maybe I'm just worried it will annoy someone.

At any rate, the projects I've been working on have been slow lately. You see, it's like this: I bought a sewing machine. I'm making a quilt.

For those of you that don't know, that's similar to buying running shoes and then deciding to do a marathon.

Not that it isn't fun. It is fun. And the fabrics are gorgeous. I'm doing it in my (current) favorite color combination: brown and pink. I thought it'd be a good idea to do a side project simultaneously so that when my head started to feel all fuzzy from the rocket science that is sewing together varying lengths of various prints of fabric, I could do something else and still be working on the overall goal, which is to turn our bed into a pouffy, pretty tuft of handmade cozyness. The problem is, the side project was more fun than the quilt and I finished it already. It's a matching throw pillow that doesn't match anything because our bed still has a lime green comforter and neon striped sheets.

This week though, I've been way more interested in being in bed all hours than trying to make it look better. I took a two-hour nap on Monday afternoon. I did some sewing tonight though, since I've been feeling a little better today. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better still.
