Today is my birthday, and my gift to myself was to get back into the hobbies that I love so dearly. I managed to start going through my bins of fabric ... just feeling the cool cotton in my fingers and seeing all those beautiful patterns and prints that I fell in love with, just made me feel right back at home again.
I found some blocks that I had started, and I found the old bee blocks that I owed (at least 2 of them). Guess I better get on that this week. I also found 8 of the blocks that I was going to turn into a king size quilt. That's dead in the water ... something that I'll tackle when I have plenty of time on my hands again (too busy now). I pulled them out though, and the thought of just packing them away again was too much to comprehend, so I sewed them together to make a table runner for my dining room table. I'm going in a different direction as far as my bedroom goes anyway, so it doesn't hurt me so much that they won't be made into a bed quilt.
How do you guys do it? How do you find time between working, raising kids, making dinner, doing laundry, taking care of the animals ... I feel like I'm drowning sometimes! What are your secrets to pulling off domestic bliss??
Anyway, to those of you that are still following ... thank you! I hope you don't mind seeing me again here and there ...
