I've decided that I am taking a break from wearing my seamstress hat for at least awhile. I need to regroup after this summer's madness. I won't go into details here as it's done and over with, but to feel year after year that the time and effort I put in is less and less appreciated, well... I'm just not terribly into that anymore.
For what it's worth, in my humble opinion, the costumes look beautiful on stage.
Now that the sewing has been done for the year, I can focus on other things. Like packing for our upcoming move in three weeks. And knitting. My fingers twitch to get back at the needles. I've missed it these last few weeks! I want to finish up my WIP. I realize that now would be a good time to really delve into some holiday gift knitting too, rather than leave it till the last minute. So - in between packing I shall take some lovely little "me-time" breaks with some yarn and needles.
To date I've got the following to finish:
Clementine Shawlette - Exactly one half done!
Breeze - Again half done. One sock sits lonely in the basket waiting for it's mate!
Josephine - Oh Josephine, you are so close to being done. You need your sleeves and neckline. Maybe I'll do this one first!
72 hours? Holy batman! Hope the move goes well. See you at a SnB soon...
ReplyDeleteYikes. That's ALOT of sewing. My crappy machine would have exploded. But you're right, the costumes turned out beautiful.
