Believe It Or Not...

I don't have a quilt to share this week!


It's not because I haven't been sewing...I have three quilts started and another ready to cut. They're just not finished.


Things keep getting in the way: yard work, spring cleaning, birthday celebration, appointments, delays, and odd little distractions.


At first it stressed me out, but life is too short to fret over self-imposed deadlines. So I've been going with the flow, taking care of essentials, and letting go of expectations. It's very freeing to change my routine and consider new options.

Maybe that's just what I needed. Perhaps the universe was trying to get me to slow down and pay attention.  Reflection and mindfulness turned out to be my birthday gift to myself.  See ya next week!
