new year a great time to organize apartment...repurposed couple of things to make better use of space, did a serious clean (kitchen next) to clear holiday detritus, vac'd up gazillion threads and a few pins, got ducks in a row for a busy sewing year ahead. in 2024 kept my empty spools to see how much i actually sewed...
today back to quilt group after holiday altho a snow/rain mix expected later so might get tabled. monday is shaping up to be a snowstorm day but groceries coming today and plenty of sewing to do. binding for bow ties gets prepped so on the home stretch this quilt finally! waiting on new kaffes to finish mathemagical top. exercise and a bit of cooking on tap for weekend.
it was a hard christmas holiday and relieved that it's over...grief demands determinedly moving forward, which is difficult, but God got me thru the furnace and now the steps are just a bit easier. have enough diversions on hand to hold me until warmer weather and can escape outdoors before horrid hot arrives. the wilderness is still ahead but God always leads me thru. have a blessed day!
Amen and amen! Stay warm.
ReplyDeleteThat’s a great little empty spool collection. I wonder how you go this year. I’m doing the same thing for the first time. It sounds like you are setting yourself up for a very organised and productive 2025. I do like your little Snoopy quote.
ReplyDeleteI like to save my used spools and compare to the previous year. Your spools are quite colorful. Mine are usually just white.
ReplyDeleteOh that Snoopy quote is awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI love the collection of empty spools to show progress. Great idea. It is good to read that, while it still hurts, the pain is a little bit less. I look forward to a great 2025 of sewing with you.
ReplyDeleteVery true and encouraging post! Thanks.
