A Creative Day

Had a wonderful day! 

Even though my chest is still wheezy and I still cough so hard that I... well I guess you don't need that much info, I managed to spend the day at my local quilt shop sewing.  No, I didn't quilt, but I did use some of my quilting skills for this awesome little project.

My girlfriends daughter is having a monsters themed 3rd birthday party, I was planning on making her a hoodie towel anyway. 

I managed to personalize it and make a really cute girly monster towel complete with crazy spots, spikey spine and eyelashes!

I love it!  I know in the next few weeks I'll be making a princess-y one for my daughters birthday. 

Sewing and creating are so important to my mental health. It's miserably hot and humid here today.  I was thankful to be able to sew in the air conditioned shop!

I can't wait to give this beauty away and see the reactions!  

Have a great day and be creative!!!

Sewing for Sanity

My living room looks like it has thrown up on itself.

My kitchen has a days worth of dishes to be done and a dishwasher that needs to be emptied first.

My washing machine is just agape at the piles in the bedrooms and bathroom.

My daughters closet is virtually empty, because all her clean clothes are piled in my room.

Girls are both sleeping.

Husband is studying.

I am going to ignore the totality of the chaos in my home and sew.

All of that "stuff" will be there in the daylight.  Tonight, in the dark I'm going to cut perfectly good fabric into little pieces.  Then I'm going to sew it back together again.  Hopefully when resewn it's an improvement.

Sewing myself back into sanity.  So I can look the chaos in the face in the morning and take control.
