Before we get to the stitchy stuff. I've had a lot of comments about finding time to stitch and blog and being a new mom. Its all an optical illusion I'm afraid, to tell you the truth. My blogging happens during Sam's 3 AM feeding so forgive my spelling errors and typos, also forgive me if I do not always leave comments I have the best of intentions on coming back to post one. My stitching time usually happens after Sam's 5:30 feeding but unfortunately at 5 the frog happens to pay a few visits. Yesterday I had a grand total of 1 stitch put in by 10:30 at night. So like I said its all an illusion that I have it all together cause to tell you the truth my life is unraveling faster then unserged fabric.
Here is my progress on Christmas from last week.
I had hoped to be further along on this one, oh well back into the crazy basket for another project and this week its "Fishing Buddies" a dimension kit. I was so looking forward to working on this one, until I got it out and was looking at it. I just could not figure out what looked wrong about it then it hit me I had started stitching it in January the wrong way on the fabric, so instead of stitching tonight I have been ripping. Darn old frog, oh well more bits for the TUSAL jar.
I'll be back later in the week with some updated pics of Samuel for those that are interested.
Before you know it you'll have everything back on track and you won't even realize it has happened!!
ReplyDeleteJust take care of yourself and your beautiful baby!!
Just enjoy your baby--they grow up too quickly. I learned to stitch when my daughter was 4 and my twins were 6 months old. Every stitch that stayed stitched was an accomplishment. It is nice to have something stay FINISHED since laundry, feeding, & cleaning is an unending cycle when you're a mother.
ReplyDeleteNice progress!
Hi Crystal :) darn it you've spoiled the illusion of being sooo organised hahahahh ... I am actually amazed you get stitching time in as having a wee one is hard work with all the washing feeding etc .... Sit back relax and enjoy him .... and I hope the frog pays no more visits at that unearthly hour you are stitching heheheh and looking forward to more update photos of the wee one :) love mouse xxxx
ReplyDeleteThere will be lots of time for stitching later, right now just enjoy Sam. They grow up so fast. Do relax and take some time for yourself.

Your stitching is beautiful. I appreciate your honesty about balancing being a mom with this hobby.
ReplyDeleteAll of a sudden one day, it will all fall into place...just not saying which day! Hang in there...looking forward to more Sam pics.
ReplyDeleteOh well - I'll keep imagining you as super woman! One stitch at a time. Don't forget to sleep!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to hear that you are human! I hope you can find some resting time as well as stitching time!
