Helloooo? Life – where ARE you?

by Connie on March 13, 2009 · 12 comments

I’ve looked everywhere. It seems my life has disappeared. No time to think, no time to write, most importantly – NO TIME TO SEW. My entire personal, volunteer, and work worlds have completely collided to the point that I quite honestly feel like a chicken with its head cut off. Do you ever find yourself ready for tears for no real apparent reason too?
Time for some square breathing! This too will pass.

I promise, promise a bride/bridesmaid/MOB update as soon as my life is in order!! This was just a “coming up for air”, “letting you all know I am alive and kicking” kinda post!

Elaray March 14, 2009 at 5:30 am: This morning, I was thinking ,”I wonder how Connie is doing on her wedding dresses.” It’s good to hear from you. Come up for air again, soon.
Shannon March 14, 2009 at 5:49 am: I hear you – I’ve been there myself in the past. Sounds like you need to schedule a Saturday afternoon just for you – sew, shop, go to the spa, do something selfish and indulgent.
Pam ~Off The Cuff~ March 14, 2009 at 6:22 am: Connie…be good to yourself today
E March 14, 2009 at 7:36 am: So good to hear from you, even if it is just a breather

I’m counting on my life to cycle through soon- right now I’m on the “mommy-stressed, no-sew” cycle. Hopefully by the end of spring I’ll be back on the “sewing-my-brains-out” cycle lovE
Birgitte March 14, 2009 at 2:32 pm: I sooo understand. Do the breathing, put on a smiley face, and life WILL come back, eventually. Good to hear from you though )
designdreamer March 14, 2009 at 3:48 pm: glad to hear you’re still kicking! Can’t wait for the update. DD won’t allow me to make her prom dress so I’m living vicariously thru you! HA! Oh, she DID consent to allow me to make her purse/clutch, Yippee!!
Karen March 15, 2009 at 11:00 am: Deep breath, Connie. It sounds like everything has hit at one time, and that’s never fun. Get yourself to a quiet corner for a few minutes, close your eyes, and imagine yourself . . . in Metro Textiles, surrounded by friends, rummaging through beautiful fabric that you’ll soon find time to sew.

You’ve been missed – glad to hear that you’re mostly okay.
Marita March 17, 2009 at 1:24 pm: Come back soon:-)
Ann V March 17, 2009 at 4:26 pm: Glad to see you back on line. We all get overwhelmed now and again. As a beginner sewer, I really enjoy your projects.
The Slapdash Sewist March 19, 2009 at 10:34 am: I just came out of one of those periods. Hang in there!
Kat March 21, 2009 at 4:47 pm: Oh…I completely understand. Take time to breathe as life gives you those unbelieveable busy moments.

Back when my babies were really babies, I also used cloth diapers.

Showing off a baby…Oh and a Pattern Review too! Butterick 5439

I was going to preface this post by saying, "I don't post many photos of PrincessH". That was before I glanced at my last two blogs posts. PrincessH is featured in both of them! Tough luck readers.

Simplicity 2998

It was quick and easy, and made up in an hour, including the neckline variation that I introduced.

Wedding Dress – A REVIEW! Vogue 2931

When we started a family, (wow can it be 27 years ago already?!), I was already dreaming of wedding dresses! 5 daughters later, I am finished my second gown and enjoying every minute of it.
