Wow, I didn't do much of anything productive this weekend. No grading, no studying, no reading. I meant to, I even made plans, set things out, and got all settled to work. But I was tired. So I took a nap first. Then I was hungry. So I cooked and ate. But that made a mess. So I cleaned. Then I was tired again.
It was tragic.
It was also very restful and I think I needed that kind of recharging. But I should have just said, "I'm not doing anything this weekend and I refuse to feel guilty about it." Instead, I did nothing this weekend but spent the whole time feeling like I should be doing something, and, so... the Guilt.
I'm pretty much over it, though. :)
I did make a little progress on the Star Potholder:
Now you can see a little better what it's going to look like when it's done. It's mate will be the opposite color way. I think they will be spiffy. I've missed making thread potholders. They're really quite fun.
Now I'm off for another rousing week of making up for my weekend sloth. Weee!!

Good for you for taking a breather! Sounds like you needed it! Have a great week!
You just described how I spent most of my grad school career...I spent a little time working, a little time resting/taking time off and a LOT of time not working and feeling guilty about it...so I feel you, girl.
The potholder looks good. Good luck with the battle for productivity or guilt-free fun!
Everybody needs some down time! Great looking pot holder. It looks like a Native American basket design.
