Today I started quilting again. I walked back and forth in front of the fabrics at the store, looking at all the blues and greens, trying to find just the right ones. When I got home, I couldn't wait for the kids to get to sleep, I wanted to cut and arrange the colors and shapes.
By 6 pm I was up to my elbows in fabric and I joyfully worked for two hours. When quilting, I get into a peaceful zone, my mind clears of stress and I relax. The time passes so quickly.
At 8 I stopped because there was a new episode of House, but I'm excited to get back to it tomorrow. I have a new sewing machine to pull out of the box, set up, and start putting it all together.
It's been over two years since I've worked on something. Two years that have been consumed with babies. Finally they are sleeping through the night and I have time to myself. I feel more like myself than I have in a long time.
