I've heard the silly quotes that say things like, "Sewing is cheaper than a psychiatrist" or "Sewing is my therapy." I am finding that is true! Between planning a wedding, preparing to move, the lingering head cold that spread among my family, and Jonathan's bicycle accident that landed him in ICU, I have often felt as though I am one french fry short of a happy meal. I've decided that even in the midst of my hectic schedule of work, transporting kids to band practice, homework, etc, I am going to commit to making one block a day (which becomes 4) for my disappearing 9-patch quilt. Every day, I will make a 9-patch block that will be cut to create 4 disapeparing 9-patch blocks. These are simple, no-brainer blocks, but will do wonders for my mental state.
Doing something you love for 20 minutes every day can be very relaxing!! And with all the other things you have going on, you deserve that time to yourself.
