Yesterday afternoon, once I'd stopped feeling so crabby, I went into my sewing room and did this:
And, very surprisingly, I actually sold them, plus two more, to make it a set of 6!! AND... another set of 4!
I am so surprised, I never expected to sell a single thing on that Facebook page.
Thanks KJ and Karen D.
The other thing I started, but haven't finished yet:
I will finish this one today, and the Cow Coasters.
I've been feeling really down the past few days, no idea why. Getting into me sewing room helped yesterday, let's see if it helps again today shall we?
HALF WAY through another year!
It's so damn cold, I'd much rather stay in bed to be honest. But, you don't get shit done unless you are actually OUT of bed eh?
I plan on leaving all that on the floor, and giving a 'job' to a grandkid or 3. They like earning pocket money.
It's now 12.10 pm, time to stop and have me lunch.
Well... I mucked around with that coffee cup runner this afternoon.
Put a border on it. Took it off cos it wasn't straight. Put it back on.
Photo. DONE.
Sitting down fuming.
Just NOT NOT NOT happy. Crabby as fuck.
Feeling stir crazy. Home alone too much. Not much happening on here either.
Should have stayed PRIVATE for all the good it's done me opening it up again.
Just over today already.
Love the coasters! Wish I was as crafty as you are !!!
ReplyDeleteI think feeling down is rather normal. It is rather hard to be chipper ALL the time. For you it is winter. Here it is cold, cloudy, rainy and I love all that! But the MOSQUITOES! Holy Moly. I can't go outside for 2 seconds without being swarmed by 100's of mosquitoes. Vicious slap resistant little mofo's too! Plus - the state of the world. It is much angrier, divided, and crooked than ever before. At least in my part of the world. So.... go in your studio. Hide out and find your peace. Sounds like a good idea to me.
ReplyDeleteOooh the girls are cuties. Yay look at me... able to actually leave a comment!!
ReplyDeleteHope your helpers turn up soon because I can’t imagine you leaving those scraps on the floor too long
ReplyDeleteAnyone should be feeling down with this weather, dark until 7.30 am then dark again at 5.30 pm
love the mug runner. Might just need a border to jazz it up a bit, that's all.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of leaving the cleanup for the grandies to earn their pocket money.
ReplyDeleteJust randomly tried the link to your blog and what a lovely surprise to see it again :)
ReplyDeleteHope you have a better rest of your day - dark, dreary and cold winter days never help my mood if I'm already in 'that' frame of mind. Luckily it's summer here at the moment so lots of daylight hours, plus I'm off work until Monday so that's a bonus :D

Getting your creative on means you are in your happy place. If you are going a bit stir crazy you could hold a morning tea for the FBG ladies just to break up the day. It will be nicer when the weather is not so cold too.
ReplyDeleteLove the runner with the border on. Congrats on selling the cow coasters. Think you assistants may need a pay cut unless they improve their sewing room performance 😍
ReplyDeleteI shared your coffee mug runner on facebook somebody might c it and have to have it. Hope your evening has been less cranky.
ReplyDeleteLove the coffee cup runner!!! You are so creative!!! Coffee Slut
ReplyDeleteBeen reading your blog again, sorry I haven’t let you know, but can’t for the life of me figure out how to sign with Google again. I’ll keep trying. Congratulations on the sale! Your girls look happy to be in the sewing room too! Caroline
ReplyDeleteThe coffee runner is great. Maybe you have the winter blues 😢. Great idea cheering yourself up sewing. I think it’s very normal to feel down at times. You have so much to be grateful for - your lovely family, your loving husband, a house you love, health, getting away on tiki tours etc etc etc chin up 💕💕
ReplyDeleteUse those grandchildren while they're still young and enjoy a bit of action 😂. I used to pay mine to pick up snails in the garden even. A competition to see who found the most. They used to do all sorts of stuff for me, for a small price. Win, win!! Now they're older i can't get hold of them anymore damn it!!
ReplyDeleteHope your spirits get a boost sometime soon.
I love the coffee cup runner - the border was the perfect finishing touch to it as well I think!
ReplyDeleteYour sewing projects look wonderful. Take care and enjoy the weekend.
ReplyDeleteChris - I love the coffee runner, it is cute. I hope this finds you in a better mood today. I know that somedays it is tough making it through with all of the external crap we have to deal with. Hang in there. You are loved and remember it is all about you and Stew now. Ky Girl
ReplyDeleteI am currently feeling the same as you.....down....no reason.....and we are just starting Summer. I quite agree, been shut up for so long, need to get out and about a bit more. Hubby is, should say, was paranoid to go without a mask, until we had a little chat about it. This week we have been out in two venues with a lot of people and two restaurants, oh my goodness it felt so good.
ReplyDeleteChin up, hope you feel better soon.
Cheers.
I am so sorry that you are having a crabby day. It must really suck having to worry about some nasty people trying to F with you all the time. Or spy, or stir up whatever unpleasantness....I can tell that you are good people. If you need to shut the blog down again - just do it. Take care of YOU first.
ReplyDeleteLove your new sewing projects. Marley and Cocoa are so cute. I bet they are a lot of company for you.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say a big thank you for putting the blog back up, I so enjoy reading it. Hope your mood improves soon.
ReplyDeleteBorder looks fabulous!
ReplyDeletea sewing day is a good day :)
