When am I supposed to sew? sleep? sit quietly with a book? spend a few minutes with a friend? When did life get like this?
Okay - enough complaining. You don't read this blog to hear about my drama. You read it to see what I'm up to in quilt-land. On with the show...
I finished a pair of Portobello Pixie ruffle pants for Olivia today out of Sandi Henderson's Meadowsweet line. She absolutely refused to model them - so you're getting the ole' hanger shot. :-)
This pattern is so awesome - I will make these pants for her again and again. They're so easy, taking about two hours from cut to top-stitch. Highly recommend for the wee ones in your life.
Mom and I went to Jo-Ann's today where I purchased 1.25 yds of dark blue corduroy and 1 yard of lace trim.
Plans are not nailed down for these yet - but I have a couple ideas in mind, one of which is this cute camera bag.
Finally, here is a sneak-peak at my finished curtains. Just need hubby to hang the curtain rod for me - and then will take a finished photo!
Okay, my dear friends, have a lovely week. Bracing myself for a crazy one... for now, I'm going to curl up with my knitting and have a few minutes of peace before turning in for the night - a few stolen moments of solitude.
I think that being overwhelmed and over booked is what allot of us women do. Especially those of us that are creative. Take a big deep breath and do it one day at a time.
ReplyDeleteYour daughters pants look so comfy to wear. And I love your curtain material.
Hope you have a good week!
Life is definetly a little crazy at times. If your anything like me though, when it's too slow you may feel a little crazy then too. Sometimes the madness of having things to do keeps me going in all my projects. Or gives me more drive to get them done once I can get back to them. Or other times I take a week off and watch tv in my spare time instead.
ReplyDeleteYep. I hear ya! Just be thankful for what you have (which it sounds like you are) and bask in the "me" moments. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I am a podcaster and knitter and a new sewer and was feeling unmotivated and uninspired for a while, but after listening to your podcast, it has inspired me to keep podcasting and sewing and enjoy it again. So thank you!
