Coming back

Oh. Hi.

Still trying to find my sewing mojo.  Would you believe it’s been SIX WEEKS since I sat down at my sewing machine?  There’s a million small reasons why, but I’m sure a lot of it is simply the fact that I got out of the habit.

Anyways, my kids left for a weekend away with my in-laws (first time, eep!), and I decided it was time to just sit down and do it.  So what was the first thing I attempted?

A paper-pieced cyclone block that was overdue for one of my Bees.

Yes, I’m a glutton for punishment.

I messed up several VERY FRUSTRATING times in the beginning, which resulted in a lot of time spent picking out teeny tiny stitches and trying not to completely ruin the paper.  But ultimately, I got into a decent groove and I think it turned out pretty well.

Hopefully this is the beginning of something good and I’ll have more sewing progress to report, soon!
