Last Sunday after many hours of me crying and feeling that somehow I was to blame for her addiction, I got a call from her and her counselor, "Mom, I'm and Alcoholic! And IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT"
Im back to living a life I knew before she admitted this, Quilting Sleeping etc... I still worry, but when you put it into God's Hands All seems better. Quilting is my Pscho Therapy, Let yourself mellow into your work. It is Therapy!!! Many Hugs Linda B Blessings, Angela |
That "family stuff" can really drag us down at times. You know what helped me? I ask a gf to come over and quilt with me. We sewed we laughed and we cried. It was so therapeutic and fun. Do you have a gf that would do this?

SuziC the Lord did not give us sad, blue, gray skies, etc. He wants us to enjoy everyday to the fullest. Remind yourself that you need to get busy sewing baby quilts...they need you. God loves you and will not allow anything to happen that both He and you can not handle. You are in my prayers. Have faith.

I've been there and done that many times. My heart goes out to you. 1, you will get through it. . . 2, something beautiful will come from it.
At times like this, I look at new patterns and fabric. Something will hit you or it won't but keep going. Sometimes we just have to "Act as if" and start a project. You would be surprised how many time this soothes and boosts your mood gets your interest and enthusiasm back. Good luck |
The sewing room is exactly where I head when life gets tough. It is my refuge and after sewing for awhile I usually feel better. My husband, bless his heart, will sometimes suggest to me that maybe I need to spend some time sewing. Tactful guy, isn't he!

D something simple at first. Then you will wonder what the hold up was. Usually it is just that first cut or that first seem. That is my hold up and then after that I start to feel better. Hang in there girl and just go sew.

I have found quilting to be great therapy for me! Try it! I can clear my mind of everything while sewing away. Good luck! :)

I have been in a slump, too. Have the time, and certainly the "stuff". A wonderful place to sew. Made the mistake of watching the Casey Anthony trial. Sad, Sad! I am going to 2 retreats in 2 weekends. The laughter always
Makes me feel better! |
