Hey Loves!
I haven't written much in a while. I've been kinda ghost on all my social media accounts. I've needed this time to be private...to just be quiet. I've spent a lot of days admiring the work of other sewcialists. Honey, this may be a group of some of the most talented and inspiring people I've ever encountered. I'm so serious. I mean they really rock.
While I stalked all this awesomeness, I had time to reflect on 2018. This year my struggle with anxiety got the best of me. It almost completely broke me. I rarely talk about it because I don't want to give it life, but this year, I struggled. That overwhelmed feeling never went away. It actually got worse as the year went on. I couldn't get out of the hole. The small victories that seemed to keep me together we my sewing projects:
Tabitha had it right. Sewing does heal!
I'm taking all the sadness, frustration, and anxiety of 2018 and using it to fuel my ambitions for 2019. I made it. I didn't succumb to my anxiety. I found a way to cope. I'm here in 2019 recharged and ready for whatever. I may not be the best at sewing but I won't stop because it's my secret place...my safe place. In the basement with my fabric, patterns, and Brothers, I can leave all my worries and find inner peace if only for a little while.
Thank you all for coming a long my journey. Thank you for your patience when I wasn't here. Thank you for your support. I hope you'll stay with me in 2019. I'll try not to disappoint.
Until next time, SMOOCHES!
