Keepin' My Head Above Water

I had a comment on my last post that just cracked me up. Go ahead. Read it...

Okay so you posted this on October 18th and now it is October 26 does that mean you went into your room and haven't made anything yet so you can't come out?

No. As delightful as a week two weeks stuck in my sewing studio sounds, it didn't happen. I did go in and make something like I said I would. See...

I made this little felt pin cushion, but it didn't take two weeks, only an afternoon. I've also hemmed four pair of pants and painted the shelves for Hailey's room. Now I'm itching to make the patchwork pillow that danced through my dreams last night. I think I will cut the fabric this afternoon. 

We have been very busy with life in the land of You Go Girl. Dance and volleyball. Piano lessons and homework. Choir concerts and jazz band rehearsals. Birthdays and holidays. Work and play. Life...it's kind of like a river. If you don't jump in, it will pass you by. I think I am in up to my chin. Sometimes the current feels swift, but I'm keepin' my head above water and enjoying the ride. I hope you can say the same.

Happy day,

Cassie

I love the pincushion!

That is TOO funny! I wish I could be locked in my sewing room, even for two days!! The pincushion is lovely and I am glad that I am not the only one who disappears for periods of time because my LIFE is happening!

That is hilarious! Ha ha ha! Thanks for your reply Cassie. It is good to know we are many in the same boat, a river boat that is. Sometimes someone falls in and it takes some time to pull you up from there back into the boat. And that is what makes it fun, right. How boring it would be to be safe on land just watching everyone else battle with the currents and wild stream. We need some excitement and to loose control at times. That is the spice in life. You go girl (ah, and that IS the name of your blog. So spot on. And deadly cute pin cushion. Well done.

I love the pincushion. Did you make it up or is there a place to get the pattern. My daughter would love it.

[Sue]

I am happy for you. I have been feeling down a bit lately and overwhelmed by life but decided today to just take it one item at a time and work till it is all done. You sound so in control and calm it gives me hope. Love the pin cushion. Is there a tutorial?
