When I was thinking about what I had accomplished this year, I felt like I hadn't made anything at all. Maybe a softie or two, and a doll quilt and maybe something or another for the baby. But then when I went to make a mosaic I realized why I haven't finished anything big. Its because I did a lot of small project sewing - mostly for small people. If I look around my house, I see lots of handmade, but often I can't even remember when it was made. I guess this year I had lots of requests from kids, and lots of practical things that I wanted to sew instead of buy, and not so many friends having babies.
When I look at my mosaic, I'm pretty happy with my year. Considering I was working for half the year and I had a new baby in the house (and 3 other kids for the summer), and we went through the crisis of Latin (twice) which has ultimately led to the untimely demise of the PhD project my husband was attempting, I think I did okay to fit in any sewing time at all.
Here's to a 2013 with less excitement and more sewing.
Excellent work. I love all the handmade stuff in my home
ReplyDeleteyou and you're sewing creativeness is one of the reasons I myself decided to take up sewing too. I love all the projects you share! (and latin yeah Don had to re-take that one too. he does now attend regular latin reading group so it must have stuck some what the second time around)
