So THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the encouragement and helpful hints this week!! I am now going to get back in there and start the charity baby quilts that have been waiting. You all are the BEST!!!!!
Cute things you made. Now, don't you feel better??? We can't change the bad things in our lives, but we can change the way we handle them. And I find sewing is a fantastic release. Something about pointy things (pins, needles, sharp scissors) and the evil thoughts we have that work well together. Kinda like sticking pins in a doll. Poke the evil or dark thoughts with the pins and they don't seem quite as bad anymore.
