Have you ever just sat and thought of all the things you want to do? Of all the things you want to learn? Of all the things you need to or have to do? This can make a person crazy I have decided...stop thinking. I rarely think like this...now I know why. I tend to just piddle through my days...doing what has to be done first and then letting the mood take me from there, which is usually into my play/sewing room...for as long as I can get away with it.
As I sit here in my sewing room I notice the quilt I loaded onto my frame a few days ago waiting on me to make up my mind on the pattern to quilt. There is a colorful pile of scraps in another corner that are begging to be formed into a quilt top of random colors with no rhyme or reason to the order...they are scraps and they know it! I have my Embird tutorials laying out open just waiting for me to dig deeper into my embroidery software discovering the little tricks of the trade my brain is begging to try out. I need to clean up the mess I made embroidering out two names for a customer at the shop, who is making stockings for her family..I am now wondering if they are good enough for her since she said she has a bunch she wants to make! Cha Ching!!! Oh, and lest I not forget the two blocks of the month waiting for me to finish on the other corner table...there is not one corner of this room that is not calling me to come play. I am happy in here...
But, I do question my life or lack of it sometimes...a customer said the other day, "well I do have a life outside of my sewing room," she said she was telling a friend. Which made me question if I do? I have a great husband and he really wants to travel a lot and we could be since he is retired but we have one big stop in the way right now...a teenage son still living at home that does not have a car but finally has a job! So, we are stuck grounded for a while longer till we can see him take flight...or has to be pushed out of the nest! As a result I am home a lot waiting on the call to be a taxi service again. This too shall pass and when it does I hope we are still young enough and able to get in the car and go to our dream destinations. Key West please don't go away...
I am the mother of five kids I know they eventually do fly out of the nest..some sooner and others much later. But, it gives me a little bit of a concern when he seems this content to not look over the edge of the nest and wonder about the great big world out there or if he could fly on his own yet.
Oh, I can't think about this now or I will go crazy...Scarlet you are so right!
So, for me it is better to just piddle through my days for now and be thankful for it...playing when I can in my sewing room ....doing what has to be done to keep the house in healthy living conditions with it's occupants full and happy! Hey, maybe that is why he doesn't want to leave...hmmm
