I am so very blessed to have being a mother, and our little design business, as my day job. Very, very blessed. But I still want to sew ALL THE THINGS ALL THE TIME. My to-make list is a mile long, and growing every day. I love your Summer retrospective. I would make one if I had the first clue how to. My learn-about-technology list is an endless sea of mystery though. And it falls behind the sewing-to-make list. <br /><br />I am with you on the tears. So go you, for all the gorgeous things you have made, for all the lovely sewing to come, for being an awesome mother, and for knowing about the technology things too. xcat and vee xoxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01740352837418442644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-85160613249423450972013-03-04T16:31:04.310+11:002013-03-04T16:31:04.310+11:00Your post spoke to my heart tonight.

I've spent too much of today looking around at my trashed house - partly from being out of power and water from snowstorms, but partly because I've been sewing, and I can't seem to make time for everything. I'm a single mom to a little girl, I work full-time at a demanding job, I have a huge commute on the days that I work, and I can't seem to juggle everything. I have to do my job, I have to care for my daughter (and yes, I want to as well ::smile::), I need to keep my home in some kind of order, but I NEED to be creative too. As someone above commented, I have to remind myself that "it's just sewing." Even if it feels like a necessity at times. I guess I just wanted you to know that I get it. One day at a time, one project at a time. In the end, whatever brings peace is what matters, right? :) Thank you for the lovely inspirations (and thank you for the Sweet Pouch swap - I had a great time!)Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11644578594254698077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-730149430872297751.post-35272007340689665962013-03-04T15:59:32.180+11:002013-03-04T15:59:32.180+11:00I totally get you.

I totally remember how you feel, trying to squeeze in sewing time. However, even when you do have more time in years to come, you'll still have projects that don't work out... well, I do anyway. Do what you did today, and put all your projects together and then ...
