#23 Not Much Sewing Action

I have been doing the And Sew We Craft ,  Photo a Day Challenge for the last 17 days (on Instagram) Which caused a 2 day clean up in my hobby room (day 12-Mess which was already there/ day 13-Organized that took 2 days. lol)  along with the real world office work, and a day off not feeling well... equals a late blog post and not much to share from my sewing room...

What I've been up to:

I made another market bag and lined it

  I started a cowl scarf 

and I am starting another QAL!! 

and I finished the last 2 letters for the back of my nephew's quilt

any guesses yet? 

I will post a picture on Friday!!

#22 Quilter Down!

So this was my first week of my new normal, with all the kids living for the most part out of the house!! Our College boy will be home a lot of weekends and holidays, etc, but our house is empty and quiet!! And I have to say this week was kind of hard! It didn't help that I wasn't feeling well either, but the quiet and the not seeing him and talking with him everyday and hearing him laugh so hard while he's watching a funny TV show, I really missed all of that!!!!...... Now I didn't miss the attitude he can give me (that he thinks is funny) or the mess he leaves every time he goes into the kitchen, lol, so I did find a silver lining in my rain cloud!! When he came home for 2 days over the weekend we were able to go shopping for school and dorm supplies and spend  some quality time together as a family, which helped so much!! I realize that from now on it is all about quality time over quantity time, and I am  trying to settle into this new stage of life, hoping it gets easier, and I'm sure it will, but for now.... when he pulled out in his car to go back to school, my heart still  hurt!! Adam however is right where he should be, and spreading his wings as they say and I know he is going to fly!!!

What I've been up to:
