Oh Yeah..

sneakpeek

It was about noon. The littlest one was asleep in his bed. Our little girl dozed off on the couch. I was feeling energetic and inspired. Suddenly my eye fell on my sewing machine on the table, the soft velvet fabric lying next to it. I hesitated for a second...

Then I tiptoed to the machine and started pinning, fitting, adjusting, sewing. The machine hummed with pleasure after weeks of waiting. I almost could feel the pedal tremble under my feet, impatient to get busy again. I caught myself singing softly. We made a great melody together.

When my littlest one woke up and food had to be prepared I noticed that only 20 minutes had passed and only one panel of my new coat is partly finished. But that didn't matter. Because in this short time I remembered something important:

I really love to sew!

    How fun! I hope you get some more stolen moments to work on your coat -- I'm anxious to see it. Clothing sewing is still my favorite of all my sewing/crafting activities.

    I laughed... knowingly... at your post Karin. Sometimes we forget that lots - or just a little bit - can be achieved in those small pockets of we get during the day.

    I just fell off my chair. New coat, you say? Things must be really busy, because with that MOST DIVINE NEW COAT FABRIC IN THE WORLD lying seductively around in your house, I can't fathom how you momentarily forgot about loving to sew! I am on tenterhooks waiting to see the outcome of this one!
