Oh, the stress of taking that first stitch! I started. I pulled it out. I started again. I didn’t like it. I think I’m going to change my normal quilting pattern – because I realized that I really don’t enjoy stitching in the ditch. However. Now I have to find a pen that will show on dark fabric, and disappear in a day or so.

I’m not planning on spending any more money. We’ve been spending money like drunken sailors for the past few months and that’s just got to stop. I’ve been A.C. Moore free for three weeks, using up 5 balls of yarn without replacing them.

And sewing is taking over. I’m remembering how much I love to sew. How much fun it is to take little pieces of fabric and turn them into something.

I wish …………for nothing, really. It would be nice to stay home all the time and do crafts all day. But in the end, I love our home, and I don’t mind the time spent keeping it nice. I love my life.
