This is one very true statement!! It is my plan for the day!! Time for me to destress! Thoughts are with you! :thumbup:

Great therapy. Fewer calories than emotional eating and cheaper than shopping!

Prayers for you and your family ...

Even when my machines are being tempermental, I love sewing! All kinds of sewing!! Problems with my machines are usually soemthing I can fix...not so much with other things going on in my life...

Praying that things will be better for you. I have used the sewing machine for therapy for many years now. Lately I have not even been wanting to do it at all.

It's sewing and knitting for me. And if I can lose myself in a good book that helps too. Take care.

this is what keeps me sane sometimes, you can just escape and get a little peace and comfort

I will put you and your family on my daily prayer list. I run a busy psychiatric unit; chaos is usually the rule of the day. It helps so much to come home to my machine, Phoebe, and all my fabric. I put all the frustrations and disappointments into piecing and stitching, turning out gifts for friends and family. Keep stitching!

Prayers for your family. I ask God to wrap you all in His heavenly QUILT of LOVE and protect you. Hang in there God never gives more than we can with stand without His help. :wink:

Sewing is my creative outlet and how I stay sane somedays. I can go to the sewing room, close the door and just keep to myself. Some days, I may just sit and look at my stash or maybe take some out and handle it for awhile and imagine what I might do with it. At night when hubby is transfixed by the tube, I can sit and do hand work and not even hear the TV. I think most of us who quilt or have other interests have many reasons for doing so...all of them important.

Same here.....nothing like a good ride on a quiet beach or sewing in my peaceful sewing room
