Work is busy and life is hectic and while I have sewing mojo, I don't have much energy. This year we've been to Nashville, Chicago, Phoenix, Denver, and Atlanta. I've had several migraine attacks in the last month. I knew my time with having my daughter's family here was running out so I started spending every free moment with them. My colleague is going on maternity leave and I'm taking about half of her client portfolio. My direct report resigned for a new job so I'm searching for her replacement.
I feel like I'm on a precipice.
I am not complaining, I just don't know (at the moment) what I need to do differently. Probably "less". I do have a time alone this upcoming weekend and am hoping to spend some quality time in the sewing room.
This month I sewed 1 garment and 2 crafty items. I also machine knit 3 items.
I sewed:
- New Look 6600 - 2.5 yards
- horizontal tan & black (rayon?) woven
- cord ends
- Zip top bag
- black quilting cotton and faux leather
- zipper
- Cover for PS5
- Chicago White Sox and solid black quilting cotton
- black piping
I knit:
- a triangle shawl (but I may frog this)
- girl's ballet cardigan
- infant drop shoulder sweater
This month, I also did a deep dive in my wardrobe when I pulled out some spring items. I got rid of like 40 items! So funny, I pulled out this pair of pants and thought, "I hate these pants". But they're black and ankle length so I kept them. And then I wore them one day and when I took them off after work I said, "I hate these pants!" So they've since been washed and placed in the donate pile, where they belong.
I also organized my tops by color and I really could use a few new tops.
aaaaand I just heard the news about the (likelihood?) of Roe v. Wade being overturned and I don't have anymore words right now.
