New obsession

Sat Sep 12, 2009, 7:46 AM
So...I got a fantabulous new to me sewing machine for my birthday. It's a classic Singer from the 60's - back when the parts were steel and not plastic - woo hoo! And now I am madly in love with collecting fabric. I am working on SEVERAL projects (a quilt, place mats, napkins, snack baggies, a sewing machine cover, an apron, etc...) all of which are gifts. But yesterday I wanted to make my own gift so I made a little bag, and uploaded the pic. It's rough and needs to be tweeked, but oh how much fun I had sorting it all out and trying to recreate something I saw in the fabric shop! If only I could make a living with all my crafting obsessions. :::Sigh.::: Eh, I am SO happy to have found a new hobby that I LOVE and can make gift for people I LOVE!
I had a very emotionally rough week this week, had a little stress relieving breakdown for a day and a half. And sitting down at the sewing machine for the past two days has kept me focused and calm and feeling pretty good - despite the dissappointments of the week, month, etc.
So, my lovely DA friends here is to your own little happy distractions when life starts to get in the way and bring you down - I hope they lift you up and make the day a little easier. I know my creative outlets sure do that for me!

Play for me, Minstrel, my love,
play a harp, her neck is of gold,
in a dance, which covers my soul,
I'll become the mirror of my thoughts...

If you've had half as much fun reading this post as I've had writing it, well then, I've had twice as much fun writing this post as you've had reading it.
