 Sewing makes me happy. The last few weeks I went to a quilting class and I really enjoyed making something again. That's probably one of the things I miss the most from my "old life": a community of women who love to get together and make things. One project just about done and the next one in planning. It's a good thing!

happy.

Da meine Küche noch nicht benutzbar ist und die Kinder mit Oma unterwegs sind, habe ich es endlich geschafft, meine Geburtstagswimpelkette fertig zu nähen. Ich habe drei Kisten mit Stoffen, die ich über die Jahre bei meinem Lieblingströdler gefunden habe und daraus ist dann in zwei langen Nächten und einem Nachmittag dieses neue Lieblingsprojekt entstanden. Verrückt, wie glücklich mich sowas machen kann!

Since I have no kitchen to keep me busy, my quilting squares for the month are done and the kids are out having fun with grandma I finally finnished my birthday banner today. And I love, love, love it! It took my thrift store fabric stack, two late nights and one quiet afternoon to produce this birthday banner. It makes me happy.

about time management.

Somewhere between the kids and the kitchen I got terribly distracted by my sewing machine. Together with some most lovely ladies from church I am becoming a quilter. Now I spend part of my day cutting, calculating and sewing and my little obsessive compulsive heart jumps every time one corner meets another perfectly. For this first attempt I am using up a part of my thrifted fabric goodness. Fun.
