Wow, I've been away from this little corner for a while, huh? I didn't intend to stay away. I was supposed to be sewing in November, wasn't I? I did sew. I just didn't feel like talking about sewing, I guess. I've been feeling blah and bland. You know how it is when you have a bad cold and nothing tastes right? It felt like my creative vision had a cold and nothing looked right. Does that make sense? I've been busy. There has been sewing, painting, thrifting even cooking happening around here, but I just didn't have it in me to take a picture or to write a post.
I usually catch up on my blog reading in the morning as I read my coffee but instead of being inspired to get in there and share, I've felt like I didn't have anything of interest to share. Nothing that measured up. When I tried taking photos, I couldn't get a shot that made me happy. I've just had a bad case of discontent. Not sure why. Maybe the winter blues? Whatever it is or was, I don't like it. I like to look at things with positive eyes. I like to see beauty all around me instead of feeling like nothing I do turns out right. The past couple of days I've felt the fog clearing. As I tinkered around this morning with my Christmas decorations, fluffing here and straightening there, I realized how much I've missed this place, this little blog. I've missed the interaction. I got my camera out and started clicking away. I have much to share. Don't say you haven't been warned.
All right! Hit me, I can take all the creative little daisy you can send us.
Peace.

I have been feeling the same thing. I do think for me it is the winter blahs. My fog is lifting too.

I been feeling the same way as well. For me, I wonder if anyone is reading...and then I see a few comments, so i post some more. It's also a very busy time for me. Hopefully when the kids are home for Christmas break things will slow down and I will be more into blogging.
As for you, you have been missed and look forward to seeing you post again when you are up to it.
Hugs to you.

Glad to see you posted...great idea for the table after glass broke. SO glad Bayleigh wasn't around when it exploded. Had that happen to a glass and chrome coffee table I had YEARS ago...top and lower shelf glass. Top broke. Moved lower to top and happily got rid of it a year or two later and got all wood. I've been dragging too...Hope to finish my shopping today and do some machine embroidery I've want to do on a few gifts and roll hem tablecloth panel for M-I-L. Get back to wrapping and baking.

SO glad you have returned! Love the coffee table!

Hooray, you're back! I can totally relate to the discontent feeling. Been there...more than once. Sometimes you just have to roll with it and trust that your inspiration will return, because it does. And obviously your muse is in the house! The slipcover is amazing and I adore the table. So very creative and cozy. Great work!

Really good to see you back. The slipcover and table turned out beautifully.
