I don't know if its the let down of the holiday season being over or just the dreary that comes with the weather. This year I started blogging with the new year and it has made a world of difference. I have crafted just for me. Crafted for the sole purpose of crafting, not for creating with the purpose to sale. It has made a world of difference. Keep crafting.Tishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13784278806719006458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669537858396296030.post-17589278345109238042011-02-18T20:26:40.729-07:002011-02-18T20:26:40.729-07:00I agree, it feels so great when I finally finish a...I agree, it feels so great when I finally finish a project.

Following the arrival of my daughter, who was stillborn in May, I put my sewing machine away because I was making her bedding and couldn't stand the thought of sewing anything that wasn't for her. In August, my husband encouraged me to start sewing again as a stress release since I was upset about all of my friends starting another school year when I wasn't (I previously taught 1st grade, but had resigned to stay home with my daughter). He now jokingly calls crafting my "sewing therapy" as I am a much happier person when I am sewing.Courtney @ Kisses Come in Twoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07146015102010498644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669537858396296030.post-43410791004787634372011-02-16T11:16:59.573-07:002011-02-16T11:16:59.573-07:00What an adorable outfit!What an adorable outfit!Suziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04988138674579277258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669537858396296030.post-87374742144229907452011-02-16T11:16:11.437-07:002011-02-16T11:16:11.437-07:00Cute dolly clothes!!

I drink too much coffee and stay up late at night to sew or craft, just so I can feel like a real person. Gets me through the day to know that I can do some soul mending after the kids are in bed. <br /><br />Hope everyone is well and spring is here soon!<br /><br />StefStefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13246011350788571338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669537858396296030.post-37111031844113681982011-02-16T10:58:40.900-07:002011-02-16T10:58:40.900-07:00It's gorgeous and your daughter will love it! ...It's gorgeous and your daughter will love it! I have a saying on my blog..."Nuture your creativity" and I totally agree with you...creating nutures and soothes the soul like nothing else. Unfortunately, as busy moms, creating can often get pushed to the bottom of the list.
