As I hopped through the blogs following my first Friday Night Sew-In, I found many bloggers writing that they were disappointed with their accomplishments. Several times I was compelled to leave comments saying "every stitch counts" - and it does.
Why is it that we set aside a lovely evening of sewing and at the end, feel disappointment, instead of thankfulness and pride?!? I'm going to work on that tonight!
I also learned from hopping around the blogs that I was sorely lacking in the refreshment department! Clearly I need to think about that to make this FNSI more of a success!
My plan is to enjoy sewing some civil war blocks, and maybe work on some borders for my December UFO. But I might also try making some Christmas gifts while I watch "The Grinch"...and remind myself not to let the Grinch steal my Christmas spirit! I will remember to feel thankful and know that every stitch counts!
Here's to having a merry and successful night of sewing tonight, along with some yummy refreshment! Enjoy!
ReplyDeletehappy sewing to you, what ever you work on!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post! Happy FNSI to you - will be watching to see what you accomplish. I'll need to dig out Miracle on 34th Street before I get started tonight.
ReplyDeleteWell said. The glass is half full!
ReplyDeleteHappy Sewing tonight. No regrets here. Finished up all of my projects I could, and will start on next years - next year.
