Though there is no baby to snuggle, my kids are 6 and 5, two different schools with different hours, which means great chunks of days spent in cars, moving back and forth between schools and activities. Sure does help me to appreciate creative time when it finally arrives!

We've just moved, my sewing room is still in boxes and we're about to start our homeschool year...I have five blessings in grades K-8, and the almost 4 yo to keep busy...no one naps here!! Sewing is my creative outlet, my stress reducer, my sanity. Thank the Lord my husband is on vacation next week, maybe I can get unpacked and start sewing again!<br />Thanks for letting me vent here...I enjoy your blog so much and I hope you can find the time soon to get back to quilting.Rebeckanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593114644785141187.post-16718479717290866152012-09-12T11:37:19.380-06:002012-09-12T11:37:19.380-06:00Oh, the cycles of life.
