No Sew

No sewing has happened for weeks at my house. Why not? I'm trying to figure it out.

First off, Dh & I radically changed our eating habits by giving up sugar & refined frankenfood. It's not the first time we've done that, but this time it's do or die (and I mean that literally, what with the high blood pressure and all). A body can only handle so much change at once, plus it takes time to shop for and prepare actual, real, true fresh food. It's worth it, though; we feel great and are losing weight, but I haven't got any sewing done.

Just when I started getting used to our new eating habits & thought I might get my sewing groove back we noticed that house prices in our neck of the woods have stopped going up; indeed we are now seeing such phrases as, "price reduced" and "motivated seller" in the local real estate ads. So we're checking out the housing market. Going to open houses affects my sewing time! Plus, if we do buy a house it would be a 3-bedroom and guess what that 3rd bedroom will be? That's right! A SEWING ROOM! And a guest room. So you can imagine how much work it is to keep from going off into sewing room fantasyland when we haven't even got our pre-approval letter from the lender.

And then, the thought of the possibility of moving has both dh & me in an organizing mode so I find myself decluttering and organizing instead of sewing.

Well, all in God's time. Whether we move or not, I'll be sewing again very soon.

Cozy Purple Pop of Color

Cozy purple throws for snuggling!  Adds some color  to the living room.  Thick fleece trimmed straight with rounded corners.  I tried some overcast stitches with my Juki however I couldn't get the look I wanted so I pulled out my serger. Gosh it's been, like 2 years since I used it but luckily it worked (I've had it for quite awhile but I'm still kinda afraid of it 😜).

Crafty Stirrings

My sewing stuff has been packed up for quite awhile and I miss it! It was packed up to make room for a season of extended visits by family which we have truly enjoyed so it was a worthy trade-off. Family visits will be done in a few weeks and in the meantime we decided that we'll be moving into a different house a few weeks later, so my sewing and craft things (other than sewing-related stuff I have just a few jewelry-making and scrap-booking supplies) will remain packed until it's arranged in our new abode. Focusing on family and transition decisions has taken up my mental space so it's just now, as I begin creating the vision of our next home I'm looking forward to having a sewing space again.
