Overload 'Vent'
So as we speak...ahem we type converse? I am in the process of taking a break from sewing. Tomorrow I am setting up my Christmas display, and although about 2 weeks later than I really wanted to (due to a trip to Vancouver, procrastinating since I thought I'd have more time, and other elements life likes to throw at me sometimes) I am still a little behind on my sewing.
I currently have finished 6 full blankets, 5 pending completion (their half done), 11 sets of wash cloths completed (some just need to be wrapped) with 14 sets left to complete, and 37 sets of moccasins to complete with only 5 actually completed. Oh, and 14, I believe, bibs to get trim applied and snap closures on. All this to say I might not get it all done for Christmas launch but I'm attempting and know it will be a long night. Oh, and did I mention Christmas Cards?
Typing this out and seeing it in front of me is definitely making me more nervous than I was, but I have prioritized everything so that I know what I HAVE to get done to fill my shop space, and the rest will HAVE to be completed by Friday. Still a lot of work, but not boring. I get to see the fruits of my labor in finished product and then proudly present it in the store. That will be enough after the chaos, sleepless nights, and patience of getting it done ends. Something I'm trained in by being a mother, right?
I know this sounds like complaining but really it's positive venting from the joy of creating. I LOVE what I'm doing right now and although it might be hard to see through my above stated words it brings such pleasure to see something I made come to life, and be able to actually fill store space and even more to see people buy it. How fantastic is it to see people want something you've made? Pretty epic.
Well, this is me procrastinating. First it was taking a mental break, but now I am definitely procrastinating. I am sitting next to my machine trying to feel like I'm only away for a moment, but even this last sentence has kept me away more than I should be. Now I take to the coffee pot, and get back to work. I hope God gives me some energy and perseverance through the next few hours...oh and speed, crazy speed!
