Sew Balanced

Posted on September 21, 2012 | 1 Comment

Oh balance...where art thou? I tend to get frustrated when I can't spend enough quality bonding time with my sewing machine. Nagging, non-fun, nirvana-busting tasks around the house abound. For instance, do I change all the furnace filters and weed the flower beds today--or stitch some fun black bats for my fall wreath? I know what I want to do, but cranky Ms. Responsible steps in and vetoes creativity. Again.

Really, I don't dislike to cook, but what you cook is eaten so quickly. When you sew, you have something that will last to show for your efforts. -Elizabeth Travis Johnson

The only place where housework comes before needlework is in the dictionary. -Mary Kurtz

Just like a sewing machine, I must learn to carefully set the tension in my life. It takes time to discover a smooth and even balance which maintains an inner fiber strong enough to endure life's unplanned stresses without becoming raveled. -Jan Keller
