Hey there. I didn't mean to slip away for a few days, but this has been a tough week. This was our first full week of school with 2 kids in school and a football coach husband, so it was a bit crazy. We're adjusting. That time of day when the kids and I first get home and they're all hungry and the dog needs to go out and homework needs to be done and supper needs to be started and everyone needs my attention and Matt is at football practice is also the time of day when I used to blog. So, as you can imagine, blogging hasn't been happening. By the time everything gets settled, I'm done for the night, for now, at least. As soon as I get used to our new schedule, I'll find my groove. One positive that has come out of all this is that my kids have been going to bed on time, an early time, so I do get to have some evening time to myself.
Now that most of my home dec sewing out of the way, I've got bags and quilts on the brain. I'm even thinking about making some bags to put in my shop, maybe. I am also sorely behind on my quilting bee blocks, so I think I have have a block fest this weekend. No matter what, I need to do some creative sewing. It's the creative sewing that fuels my fire.
I wanted to clarify that the baby sweater in my last post is NOT for me. No way! I did do exactly what I said that I wouldn't - I cast on another sweater. I loved that baby sweater so much that I had to start making one for Ava. It's what has been keeping me occupied these last few nights as I decompress from the day. I'm sizing it up to a 3T-4T on the fly, which had me worried, but after joining it under the arms and slipping it on her, it looks like it'll fit just fine. I'm making note of my changes to the pattern on my ravelry page.
Well friends, the weekend is here, and I couldn't be more ready for it. Have a good one :) **photos above are this week's photos from my 365 project
