A New Beginning

I sat and counted how long it's been since I last logged onto blogger and was amazed that it had been over 5 months. I've stopped wondering where the time goes, I know that life just happens and we need to make the best of what we are handed and continue on.
Hollie and Tayla moved out on the weekend and into a home of their own, with one of Hollie's friends and her little girl.  I'm so happy that Hollie finally has herself in a place where she is able to stand on her own two feet and be independent, but at the same time I know I'll miss them both.

The up side is I get to have afternoons and evenings with this gorgeous bundle every Tuesday and Wednesday while Hollie works her second job.

Yesterday I spent the majority of the day rearranging the house back to the way it needs to be. A lot of that time was spent in what used to be Hollie and Tayla's room, which is now my sewing room again. It felt so good at the end of the day to be able to look through the doorway and see all my sewing things in their place. I think I stroked fabric each time I walked past the shelving.
This little sweetie (Sophie) came into our home two months ago and made herself at home straight away claiming the cough and our bed whenever the door is left open. She and Abby are the best of friends and have us in fits of laughter a great deal of the time.

I have five days off next week, so my hope is that at least some of that time will be spent in the sewing room reacquainting myself with my machine and fabric supply.
I also hope that my blogging will be a little more regular.

Happy Stitching
