Christmas Cardinals Table Toppers
2 Attachment(s)
To try to pull myself out of my slump (only daughter left for college today), I finshed these two UFOs that I started last year but never got around to... It always feels good to finish something but I still miss her!

Very pretty table toppers. Your daughter will be back before you know it but i understand your loneliness. Did the same with my son several years ago. Thank you for sharing.

Empty nest is a tough feeling to make it through. Your table toppers are beautiful and can bring you joy.

Thanks, but it's her last year of college and she's decided to stay in California after graduation, not move back to the Seattle area. She's never cared much for the rain here; thrives on the sunshine so I know it's probably better for her. I'm just sad for me :( Last night when she packed her car, she took all her belongings for starting off on her own...

The toppers are terrific, but I can identify with your feelings. It's sure hard to let them go. I started to feel that my purpose in life was gone. Just be proud that you raised her to be independent and strong. She will appreciate you more the longer she is away.

Your toppers are just beautiful! I love cardinals for the hoiidays! |
They look awesome,by the way in a little while you enjoy being by yourself.
When I got over the nest being empty I did. |
Nice table toppers. It is hard when they grow up and move away. Your happy they are confident enough to go out on their own and sad because you will miss them. Hang in there.
|
You did a great job. Doesn't feel good to finish A UFO?

Very pretty table toppers

I know its pretty much hard to live without kids even if they grow up enough. Well, what else would the parents like if their kids are happy with something. These table toppers are really good, beautiful and attractive. I would also like to say that keep quilting such things for her, at least she would get a nostalgic feeling every time when she gets a new thing quilted by you.

Very nice. I am addicted to making these table toppers, they are so much fun to do.
|
No amount of sewing will stop you missing your daughter. After the first couple of weeks, time will go faster for you and quilting does take your mind of your troubles. Pat yourself on the back for raising a strong, confident daughter that knows what she wants.

Shannon you did your job, you made your DD independent. She is not gone, but on her life journey. And I love the table toppers also.
