Sorry, folks...no pictures this post. Work has been a bit frantic with loss of help, new management, and new employees. The stress level is high. What's one to do with all this stress? Create.
Still no Rebecca dress. It's wool, and I'm not motivated. Then, I caught the fever to knit Owls. I am doing the second sleeve, and stalled. Then, out of the blue, the sewing bug manifested itself. Joann's has been having pattern sales, and I've bought a few. I finished a blouse and a dress, and both have been worn to work already. I am in the process of another dress, but have had many fits and starts, and jamming of the fabric and thread. Grrr...all that cussing you hear is me. It is a fairly simple design, but with the tiredness from work, I've been unable to do more than one or two steps on it---oh, and making dumb mistakes. I found a vintage pattern on ebay, and that will be my next sewing project, but unfortunately, the fabric stash doesn't have what I need.
To complicate matters further, I suddenly got the reading bug, too, and have finished 4 books in a matter of three weeks. With my schedule, that's pretty quick. I have one left, and another one in transit. Shall I make matters worse? I want to machine quilt, and bought a book to learn how. I bought a quilting foot for my machine-oh my gawd, 2 years ago....and have yet to try it out. I'm too busy, and why oh why aren't there at least 40 hours in a day for everything I want to do?
