I have been away for a while. Struggled with a creative blockage and did not have any energy or motivation to sew. I took an instagram break. One month passed, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 months passed, OMG! Wow, time flew by. Not sure what contributed to my hiatus (maybe we will explore at a later date) but it definitely was complicated or extended with getting two part-time jobs, then changing my day job after five years where I worked Monday-Friday 8-3pm, summers off, multiple breaks during the school year to working switch shifts D/E/N, call time and 1 part-time evening/night job. Yes, I know crazy.
Where is the balance? Yes, I know. A change was desperately needed and I really did miss sewing. But how was I going to balance it all. I realized that I needed something to jump start things for me. That's what led to me embarking on 100 Days of Sewing. I decided that I would do something sewing related for a minimum of 30 minutes every day. I began on October 28th. My husband kind of helped get things going when he asked me to embroider a name on a jacket for a coworker. Since starting I have completed 4 sewing projects start to finish. Look out for reviews and photos. 30 minutes is really attainable. Most of time, I find that I will actually spend more than 30 minutes. I have been very excited and have actually been at work looking forward to getting home to sew. I haven't felt this way in a while and boy does it feel good. Follow along as I REDISCOVER my love for sewing and develop/learn new skills. Hopefully, you will be inspired and we can GROW together.
