It's been a very busy 2 weeks! I had started a new job at the beginning of the month and my hours are now a bit later in the day than I am typically accustomed to. In spite of this, I swore that I would continue to blog on a regular basis. After all, I've had many musings, discoveries and creations to share...
I was off to a pretty good start, being able to keep up with the blogging for the first week and then it happened... As each day passed, I was coming home more and more exhausted. I am dealing with the typical information overload that comes with every new job. Countless meetings and orientations... Who would have thought that listening and sitting quietly for the better part of the day could take so much out of a person? Also, after 8 hours of sitting in front of a computer all day, the last thing that I wanted to do was sit in front of another at home. Before you knew it, I was falling asleep wherever my body rested. I abandoned my poor sewing machine, as I lacked the energy to sit up and construct anything. I even neglected exercise for 2 whole weeks! This is not a good thing!
Well, I am over the initial wave of tiredness and the desire to vegg all evening. I seem to have found my bearings. I am back to a regular workout schedule, and I am back on the sewing wagon, now that my eyes are no longer too strained. I feel great! I will do my very best to post my (late) project of the month for October and continue to share my fab finds, ideas and creations. Christmas is just around the corner and I have 14 (yes, 14!) stockings/gift satchels to sew (each, of course, as unique as the recipient). Just bear with me, as the uptake may be a little slow.
Please stay tuned!
Congrats on the new job! Oh that's what I hated most about my previous job. So many meetings I too was falling asleep on my commute home (1.5 hours each way!)
ReplyDeleteWOW! 14 stockings? Oh my goodness... I wish you lots of luck and hope you'll have time to show us some photos of what you're filling them with. You're so ambitious. I wish I had some time to do something like that. I barely have time to buy myself a new sewing machine!
