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.

You are astoundingly prolific! And, I too, have no more words.
Personally since you have three knitting machine projects I think you got ALOT done! Certainly way more than me! I have plans and I have materials but I haven't had the willpower to do anything. Guess it will come. Also I don't blame you at all for spending time with your grandkids!!! They grow up sooooooo fast!
I wish a more peaceful summer for you. And I agree, there are no words, except that it makes clear how little respect and value women still get in our culture, and other women (like justice A.C.B.) are happy and willing to throw her own gender under the bus.
