I haven't touched anything in my sewing room for over a month now.
I knew it would happen - I took a f/t teaching position, & I do know what that means!... I am still holding out hope that soon I'll be into some kind of a manageable routine where I can get back to it, but in the meantime I'm exhausted & I do so miss all the quilting projects I was getting done, started, & the machine quilting I was learning on my new frame set up (since end of July) w/our guilds charity quilts.
1st there was a G'ma week end of September, then a week vacation DH had planned & we thoroughly enjoyed to St. Croix in the Virgin Islands, then as soon as we got back had the week of Fall break to get a new room arranged, & curriculum materials together, learn a different computer system, & be ready to start teaching HS math as I did agree to take over this class for the rest of the year. & I am now into my 2nd week teaching F/T & am so missing my semi-retirement & sticking w/ subbing the past couple years since my accident. Plus I haven't even looked at math for the most of the past couple years so what's not spend grading & planning, is spent refreshing my knowledge - but it so fell in my lap!!
I just keep telling myself after the first few weeks I'll figure out a way to get some portion of my life back, but with a month out of my quilting element, I'm wanting it back sooner rather than later...
..Ok - got that off my chest... off to grade some more make up work papers since progress reports come out next week & the kids are panicking about their grades (now)...
