The last few months have been a bit of a roller coaster ride for us. Most of my time last summer was spent getting Mom's house ready to sell. Thanks to my DH for tons of support and lots of heavy lifting and to a wonderful realtor we closed escrow the first week of November. Starting in October I spent way too much time hanging out at hospitals while family members recovered from accidents and health issues.
So for several months my sewing machine has sat idle because I lacked the time, energy, inspiration and even the desire to sew. Instead I have gone back to knitting--for me a very calming activity and also very portable. After knitting several scarves I jumped in and started a sweater. It's about 2/3 finished and with luck it will fit me when it's done. It's been many years since I knit sweaters and it feels good to work with yarn again. My sewing machine is starting to call to me too. Mom will come home from the hospital in a couple of weeks and I think then I'll be ready to find a UFO and pick up where I left off.
It feels good to be moving forward again.
