Okay, it’s been a while. Sophie and I have just come back from a very inspiring, much needed vacation. I think it’s true that we all get caught up in the mundane routine of our lives and sometimes just don’t care enough to do anything about it. Some people might even find that very soothing. Living every day as the day before it and the day before that one. I can’t. I feel like I have been caught in the same cycle for the past 2 or 3 years. Work, church, choir, bed. Every day. Ugh. I do enjoy going to church and taking Sophie to choir. It’s just that I feel like every day another inch of me turns gray. Does that make sense? Like visually an inch of my skin or hair or clothes turn gray. SOOoooo, I decided to shake things up a bit in my world and do something creative for AT LEAST 30 minutes a day. At least. Maybe some of my color will start growing back.
While on vacation my Aunt and I started a cute little owl wall hanging.
Oh my gosh they are SO cute!! Fun to make too. So that stirred some juices. I think I came home with a total of 8 projects in my suitcase. Of course then that inspired me to finish setting up my sewing room (come on…do we really ever finish setting up a sewing room?). A very close friend of mine gave me her grandmother’s kitchen table and 2 chairs and I moved those in there and put all my pretty fabric away. So now I have a sewing table, a cutting table, 3 bookshelves, a sleeper sofa and the table and chairs that you can sit at and look through quilt books, scrapbook, play a game of chess, do a school project, lay out designs…oh the possibilities!! It’s wonderful!! It’s cozy yet there is still enough room to get up and walk around and pull out my ironing board for projects. It is my very own happy spot and the room is yellow so you can’t help but be happy 
I can’t wait to get in there this weekend and see what I can do! I plan on working on that and painting my bedroom this weekend. Someone should come over and do my yardwork for me…yes, that’s a hint. My dear friend who gave me her grandmother’s table said “You should really fire your gardener.” Haha! Yes, it’s that bad. I keep hoping some nice neighbor kid will come by and ask to mow my yard but now I’m afraid it’s past the point of intimidation and now just looks like really hard work and who wants to mow THAT in 103 degree weather? Back to my happy spot…
