I don't have a job, and consequently don't go out to work (it's sort of a cause and effect type thing) I also am not looking for work. I should be, as you describe, sewing all day every day. I'm not. Someone always thinks of something else for me to do. I think you might find that people would similarly find things to fill up your days too once they realised that you "have nothing to do". In fact, you may be more productive as an overworked, creativity-sucked-out-of worker. Just looking on the bright side for you ;) Positivity is so important!Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02611233587655427186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-17173179976266283402014-06-13T04:40:12.883+09:302014-06-13T04:40:12.883+09:30You can do it!!!

Congrats on surviving a garage sale, cold, and leaving the old homestead in one weekend. I don't care for s'mores myself because of the marshmallow!

The S'mores do look good even if they were a bit gooey, but you can never have too much goo, can you? Especially when it comes to chocolate and marshmallow. As for your Seville Orange Marmalade, you might just get it done - anything is possible - some things are highly improbable, but anything is possible.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04461697058136548513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-64877465303239581452014-06-10T12:46:10.779+09:302014-06-10T12:46:10.779+09:30Sorry the cold is still making life miserable. Yo...Sorry the cold is still making life miserable. Your new shutters look lovely and so do the sliding doors. <br /><br />I still don't understand how it is that you don't have graham crackers. At any rate, your smores were just right, the marshmallows are supposed to leak all over the place and make a sticky mess. Just ask Drama Teen, who has been forced to make hers in the oven because the microwave died last week.

I try and prep hand stitching projects on the weekend for stitching in the evenings during the week, but most nights lately I have not been doing anything except sitting in the chair and yawning before giving up and going to bed at a ridiculously early hour! I don't like to sew in the mornings before work as I think if I started I wouldn't be able to stop and go to work! I also don't like going home from work for lunch....similar thing...I want to stay there once I am there! I am sure the quilt will be ready for show and tell at the next NTFW gathering.....won't it?!Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02464945754300570558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-66350076917121289052014-06-10T09:46:08.962+09:302014-06-10T09:46:08.962+09:30I manage to sew every day (or close to it) but I n...I manage to sew every day (or close to it) but I never sew in the evening unless I have a deadline. I love to sew early in the morning before work. This means I get up at a ridiculous hour but I don't mind going to bed early. 20 years ago I would have laughed and laughed had someone suggested I get out of bed and moving at 4am!<br /><br />The shutters are lovely. I would stare at them, too!Three Birds Inspiredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10462935193167668508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3678998574963856841.post-70507429209556164382014-06-10T09:25:15.288+09:302014-06-10T09:25:15.288+09:30I'm hearing you about finding the energy to se...I'm hearing you about finding the energy to sew - sometimes all you want to do is fall asleep on the couch after a big day. <br />Glad to hear to had a good long weekend, apart from the cold, and I can imagine how you felt driving away from your M&D's place for the last time. :( I bet they're starting to feel a bit anxious about it all too. <br />Good luck with those petals - their shape reminds me of cathedral windows and I still break out in cold sweats when I think of them.
