Part of the reason I'm sitting here myself is to have a wee wander through the web without little people pestering me. Recently I've come across a quilter called Cristy Fincher, initially on IG, but I'm checking out her blog, Sew Much Like Mom, where she talks about paperless paper piecing. She also glue bastes and I'm intrigued about that. So Sunday morning is about learning stuff :)
And learning new stuff is good. It distracts me from the fact that life is hectic just now. I've been stressed the last week, quite a bit, which I'm putting down to dealing with a lot this year - apply for the dude to get into primary, selling & moving house, dude starting primary school, working extra hours, general craziness at work, car hassles on top of starting the year being ill - it's kind of all come to a head this week and to be honest I've been a right moaning minnie, I've been doing my own head in, and I need to stop. Everyone one has hard times, I'm no different. Whining does change things, it just makes me irritating - to other people and myself. Pedro tells me I haven't really, but then I do suspect he's only saying that to stop me moaning lol!!!
Anyhoo, to attempt to stop myself from tipping right over the edge into complete crazy looney-ness I made stuff! I've been playing with the halloween fabric I've got to try and decide what to do but at the moment indecisiveness and procrastination are my constant companions, so the other night I just sat down and started cutting and sewing. Just to do SOMETHING and this is what I ended up with
I'm pretty pleased with them, although as ever I can see where they should be better, but they are a hit with the children so yay! It's all good.
Nothing wrong with a little self pity once in a while. Funnily enough, when things get on top of me like that on occasion I've found losing the plot, and having good cry makes me right as rain again. I don't plan it, but when it happens it's amazing how it clears my head almost instantly.
