Carey's normal life

Over the last oh lets say 4 years.. I am sure I am being a bit short but I am going to leave it at 4!  I have been working on such a wonderful Quilt for my Mother in Law.  I first noticed it in a quilt magazine and knew right away that it was the quilt I had to make for her.  With this being the case I started almost immediately but I had no fabric.. This is also the beginning of an obsession I thought I got rid of about 8 years ago.  I went thru a little self something I don't even know what it was and got rid of EVERYTHING.. I mean if it had craft in it I gave it away or sent it to the second hand store.  I know life was getting me down but I was sick of toting things around that I NEVER.. NEVER finish.  So years later here I am again with a room full of awesomeness and nothing getting completed :D Oh well in my eyes I would rather think of what I am trying to complete for the ones I love and not give myself such ridicul...

I am not talking about weddings :D But today is one of those days when I have laughed, I have cried, and I have had many hours of myself which could be good and bad for all those involved in my life. I love to sew and I have been working on a quilt I have wanted to do for so long.  The Pattern is called Autumn Ablaze from Quilting Celebrations www.quiltingcelebrations.com .  Its from the Fall 2012 magazine, this will also tell you how long I have been wanting to do this.  See you all should believe me when I tell you this is a year all about me. So that gives you an Idea of what I have been doing this past week, plus many others more.  I have about 10 projects that I am always working on, I do tend to get bored with just one so when I see something I just jump right in and sew my little heart out.  Maybe one of these days I will actually finish a project without putting it aside for something else... Nah that is to predictable..   I was t...

So as everyone would know the beginning of the year is all about starting new or over.  I believe it is great to get a fresh start on so many things.  So as my friend Jeanette us to do when I worked with her is she had a board or what she called it things she wanted to achieve or try to do during the year.  So I didn't get as fancy as she did but I did the exact same thing.  I started my own board, I didn't put photos yet (but I will because I love visual) but I wanted to make sure I could see what I expected out of 2015 and so it didn't go away its always in my craft room staring me in the face.  So now when I am down or things are not going my way I can add words or rethink why I'm not getting what I wanted to achieve.  Some of the things I wrote on this board was me.  I want to think about myself this year, I am a mother of four wonderful daughters, but I pour myself into them and then I find I am left with a wasted self and nothing to show for all ...
