Ups and Downs

I haven’t been writing or doing much of anything the past few weeks, but that has changed.  I have decided to not stress over what I can’t change and enjoy things as they come.

I have been trying my hand on hand stitching wool project.  I think I do like this.  Having something on hand to be able to pull it out when I want something to do.  I have gotten so used to the speed and easiness of a sewing machine.  My new Janome has 3 motors in it and one of them was going out so I am waiting for my dealer to get the new motor in.  I have other machines, but this has been great.   I have decided I do enjoy embroidery and applique so I will be doing more of this.

Is there any type of your craft that you have not used in a while?  I challenge you to get it out and relearn it.  It has re-inspired me on some of my quilts.

Who knows maybe more Yo-Yos and English Paper Piecing will be in my future.  Putting the border on my little piece.
