This mess is my sewing room........
I haven't had a chance to get up to the Dairy since I got Cassie her sewing machine. Cassie is using it more than me the only problem is this........MESS.........
I have realized that I'm not good at sharing my personal space..I am going to have to make some ground rules, as to what Cassie can and can't touch....aghhhhhh...
I have realized that I'm not good at sharing my personal space..I am going to have to make some ground rules, as to what Cassie can and can't touch....aghhhhhh...After an hour of cleaning it was back to MY sewing room.
Then I had to sit and have a cuppa and enjoy my space..I know I am so blessed to have this space as my own and every time I come up here I give thanks for it...That's what waiting for 15 yrs for it does...When we first moved here we didn't even own the Dairy, but I always said one day that is going to be my sewing room....Dreams do come true, may-be not in the time frame we want or even the way we think they should...But today I realized that it is O.K for me to still dream....my dreams are that Greg will stay here for along time, well and healthy. I suppose I have come to a place where I know there is nothing I can do. Not an easy place to come to, but I know that God has nothing but the best for us....it just might be different to what we think....Sitting up here having that cuppa was a good thing....
I even got in and got some sewing done...I am making banners. I will show you them finished next week. This is a fun way to use my scrapes of material up....
Looking forward to a fun week -end...Robbie gets home tonight from camp. Sunday Chloe turns 20.......20 I think I might be older than I let on......There is mowing to get done and sewing of course.......

There is nothing nicer than having our own private little space is there Mandy. It does exactly as you have described, allowing us to breathe and take stock of life and to see things with a bit more clarity. I also pray that Greg is with you for a long time but whatever plan there has been made we will never know until it happens. The main thing is that you are doing what you are - loving each other, your family and making the most of what you have now. You are such a loving woman with a heart as big as an ocean. It is an absolute pleasure to know you.
ReplyDeleteMany big hugs, Deb
Thinking of you Mandy. Blessings to your family.
ReplyDeleteYour Dairy is Gorgeous & You deserve to have if finally...we all need our space how big or little we have....time out is what is good for the soul...
ReplyDeletehave a lovely weekend...
take care
I, too, am praying that you and your children will have Greg for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI need to get my sewing machine fixed and get back into creating something useful, again. Right now my own private space is my office. And instead of spending my time sewing, I spend it blogging and face-booking (is that a word?) I'm sure sewing would be much healthier! So I admire your self-discipline in making time for yourself and your sewing.
Praying for you all. Love the banners/bunting whatever you call it! [is it double sided, or hemmed on the back??]
ReplyDeleteAnd you are right, theprivate spaceofa sewing room is a wonderful place to get alone with God whilst you stitch!!
Love you dairy Mandy, I have Alicia's old bedroom complete with walk in robe. She was on her honeymoon and I was moving in. OOops I did miss her when she left really I did, but I sooooo love having a space to do my scrapbooking.
