A couple years of health issues really set me back. But I discovered that even when I couldn't produce, it was such a stress reliever to visit my sewing room, small though it be. I love to feel the fabric, see the beautiful colors and dream about what I might one day make. It serves a purpose; it is part of my hobby! So be kind to yourself. Life will eventually slow down and your fabric will be there waiting. In the mean time, enjoy the journey!
