I’ve had this blog for 3 years now. I find it hard to believe. When I started it, I planned on posting daily, and at the time, I was kind of sewing fast and a lot.
Now. Meh. Things happen. Sometimes I am good to post once a month. And I find that I miss it. It being sewing, the posting was just to entertain myself.
This last month I had to replace a goodly amount of sewing stuff my ex decided to steal from me. With the pregnancy, it was just a cost we didn’t want to undertake, although none of it was overly expensive, because we knew she was coming early due to my incompetent cervix. As it was, we’re just now catching up financially from her being born and spending 2 weeks in the NICU.
So, the last of it came in this week. After having to buy another iron, design ruler, button hole attachment, buttonhole gauge and needles and bobbins and having Neal repair my sewing basket (yeah, all this was stuff my ex kept or broke to make me pay for leaving him over), I still have to buy some more odds and ends, but I can actually sew now.
Except for this:
This is my machine. This is also all my crap on my machine, plus some. Sewing is awful hard when your machine is the catch all while you try and do everything else that needs to get done. And I have to get my ironing board from my mom’s house, as well as try to figure out the 2 month old.
What 2 month old stays awake all day long?! (The answer is mine, I have weird kids.)
So I am hoping to get this nightgown made next week. Not going to lie, holidays zap my time.

My baby is the SAME WAY… no daytime naps. It’s killing me.

thanks for dropping by A Few Clowns Short – I remember your online name from the past but didn’t realize you had such an eventful year. Congrats on the baby.
Merry Christmas

Ah, I had non-sleeping babies for the second two, so I feel your pain. Plus, I can’t sew if my brain is cluttered like your machine is cluttered. Still, I’m glad you’re headed back to your blog…I’ve missed you!

LOL thanks y’all!
This is all a culmination of a high risk pregnancy where I couldn’t really do a lot, building a house, moving in and having the baby. I was so ill the last month nothing got done, and now I am at the point I can do it…but the kid is awake when I feel like getting busy. I seriously need to let Grammy just watch her so I can do it.
And it is driving me nuts it’s so messy!
m3isme I can’t either. One of the drawbacks to the treadle is it does become cluttered easily since it’s like a table closed and it is far too easy to dump everything on it (and you can see this is what I do).
