Monday Morning Star Count 2014/39

I sat with Christa as she stitched today after lunch.  I should have remembered to bring my sewing kit, but I haven't started carrying it with me to work daily yet.

This week I took lots of pictures of quilts, and did lots of hand stitching, but only made a little EPP progress.  My sewing kit is a mess..


Has your stitching been more focused than mine?

  1. Sometimes we just need a break. I took a week off of my EPP project last week just because there was no mojo. But I'm back this week because it's my only EPP project that I brought with me, so I'm forced to really work on it and get a big chunk of it done.

    LOVE the cherry blossom fabric! Is that something local, or one of your impossible-to-get fabrics from your travels? It's way cute. :)

  2. Thanks for all the inspiration, Jess! I'm learning, sometimes messes are just good works in process... ;-)

  3. I always have something on the go but get distracted & move onto another project. By the time I come back to it I have to try to remember what I was going to make!! Always makes for an interesting quilt or cushion. Haha I really enjoy EPP even if I'm not very organised!

  4. I'm in hexi fatigue at the moment so making something else till the hexi urge strikes me again. And try as I might I have several small containers that are sewing kits, somehow one is never enough and then you have multiple mess! lol

  5. My sewing kit is also a mess. I always have more items in it than I need for the project I'm working on. Today is a rainy day here so my sewing kit will be emptied and I will only put back what I need for the project I am currently working on, which is 6 pointed stars using paper pieces. I enjoy your blog, thank you for sharing with us.

My Travel Quilt Story

**ETA-- Check out my completed Travel Quilt #3 here**

I don't know about you, but I check my blogger stats a couple times a day.  It's nice to see how readers find me, who has linked to me, and where they are.  In the last week though, there's been a gap, a hole.  I usually have at least a couple hits a week from readers in Japan, this week-- none.  Of course with such tragedy, I can't expect them to take time out (and use valuable electricity) to check in on my little ol' blog here, but still, the absence makes me worry about them even more.  I was thinking about how I can go back to  posting more about quilts but still satisfy my need to talk about Japan.. 

Victoria took this great photo of me at her retreat last weekend and I've wanted to write a post about it, and then it clicked, "Oh Yeah~" let's go back to the quilt that started me off on my EPP obsession..
Here we go.  Travel Quilt #1, aka "Ayane's Star" See, I was going to J…

Monday Morning Star Count, November 30, 2015

I have not even sewn one stitch this week.  I did manage to find my cutting table and mat, and it was nice to see them after what seemed like too long, but I didn't cut anything.  I didn't press anything.  I didn't do much other than ponder how I will organize my new space.

If you have stitched though, please tell us!

8 minutes for 25 cents

You don't realize how much you are actually going to lose when you go through a divorce.  You mostly think of the things you don't like and how you will be rid of them.  The things you'll gain like personal choice and freedom.  I knew I would lose big things.  Time with my children.  My home.  
But there are other things that are gone that have had much bigger impact than I could have anticipated.  Like my washer and dryer.  
I spend an awful lot of time at the laundromat these days, but also doing laundry wherever else I'm able to.  Not having free laundry access has greatly influenced my routines and the choices I make.  Not unlike when I lived in Washburn and would wear only light colors one week and only dark colors the next.  You choose clothes that wash easily and wear well.  You are strategic with your wardrobe choices based on when you can do laundry again..
