So, I had a conversation with “Special K” (significant other, life partner, manfriend, whatever you call him) about my general attitude. I just don’t feel myself. “I don’t even go in my sewing room anymore”, I said. His response, “Maybe that is the problem”. GENIUS!. Honestly have not found my balance since Kevin was in the hospital. I find myself spending more time with him, instead of going off by myself and doing my thing. Likely a mistake.
So, how does one reset? They go to a quilting retreat. Yep, our local guild is going on a retreat, organized by my partner in crime (Lynn) and I. Leaving this afternoon and coming back on Sunday. Hoping this put me back in the habit. I think it will.
So what have I done? Not much. I did make a few dog bandanas (picture). It was something quick and easy.
Snibble modeling on the left. Ruger modeling on the right. Two of my favorite Puppers!
So, we had an ice storm. The trees were beautiful. It actually stayed for a couple days. I am hoping the retreat helps me fix things. I threw a bunch of projects in a bag and off I go. Fingers crossed.
Maybe some crazy retreat photos to come!

Remember, start small, and before you know it you will be back in the sewing room. Use this retreat to spark that desire to quilt and give Lori some LORI TIME! Have a ball! Love you!

That is a great reset to start small with bandanas for pups. I can totally understand about wanting to spend time with Special K. I did not quilt much for the first year of my relationship with John as after losing my husband suddenly I did not want to be apart from John as we were getting to know each other. Your K being in the hospital probably was a reset of priorities. Hey quilt when you feel like it in time, don’t put any pressure on yourself. Major life events change us and I am definitely not the same Tierney I used to be.
