Sewing Time May Be Here Again

October 24, 2009 1:22 pm Belinda sewing

Although I am still a bit anxious and nervous, I’m also excited.  I’m anxious and nervous because we moved my mom into assisted living a few days ago.  When any type of change is made, there are a lot of adjustments until a new routine is established, and I am still concerned about my mom.  However, she enjoyed getting her hair done in the beauty shop and she seems to enjoy the ladies at her table in the dining room.  She has even started putting on her makeup again–including her lipstick! ;)

Admist my angst, I’m also excited because I can reset my own schedule and include some much needed and long overdue sewing and fabric therapy.  This morning, I hope to go to JoAnn’s and also to visit a local sewing center here.  Hubby got me a gift certificate months ago, so I think I need to check out the machine embroidery threads in the sewing center–and all the other goodies, too. :D

Yesterday, I washed some fabric and picked out my next sewing project, which I hope to be sharing here with you soon.

Happy Sewing!

    I am sure the move was stressful for both you and your Mom, but you did the right thing. Over time she will become more and more adjusted and you will see it was the right decision. If there are any rough stops, you must be strong and know this is all for the best. Your health and sanity are reasons enough to move your Mom. There is no one of value who would doubt your decision. God love you all.

    Thank you! My mom actually likes her new apartment better and I’m seeing glimmers of her old self, which is a good thing.

    Thank you again for your kind comment. :)
