Redecorating

I finally finished the curtains but as it typically goes when you redecorate, now the shades don't match so I bought some pretty green with a subtle fern pattern tablecloth fabric for them and will post when they are done.

I love changing something so simple as it makes such a big difference. Even rearranging things is cheery.

I also just this morning realized how much I love - need - to sew. A few years ago I put everything aside to write the next Peyton-Place-Meets-Jacqueline-Suzann novel but discovered that there is usually so much going on inside my head it was impossible to keep a whole new cast of characters in there as well. The novelty (haha) dwindled off and about a year ago I started sewing again. Relief! Then a few weeks ago this novel thing attacked me and tried again but you know...it just isn't happening. I love to sew and cross stitch and pick up needles and pins and fabric and make stuff. The stuff I make now has changed, from clothes for myself and then kids to quilts to now cloth dolls and their clothes and accessories. I guess I'm rebelling against aging! If only it were that easy!

Sewing is magical -- it takes me away! I hope it does you, too!
