Wow, I am glad this week is ending. It has been a long one for me. My three daughters have not been getting along lately and it is causing me great heartache. I sure don't remember ever having these kind of disagreements with my two sisters. If we got hurt or angry by or with each other we just said our peace and got it done with. My three don't do that with each other. They talk about each other to me and to each other, but never confront the issue at hand. I try very hard to not engage in conversations where one of my daughters is talking badly about her sister. They don't seem to get the fact that it is painful for me to hear that they "love her, but don't like her" nonsense. I keep telling them "if you are angry at your sister ...tell your sister....clear the air and move on", but stop putting me in the middle like this. They take it as I am defending their sisters actions rather than just trying to stay out of it. Now one of my girls isn't speaking to me and said some very hurtful things to me. I am sure it will blow over, but is painful nonetheless.
Thank God for my quilting! It has gotten me through the painful week. Each night I go upstairs and do a little sewing to keep me occupied and not focusing on the whole thing with my daughters. I am working on a flannel quilt for my son-in-law, Jim. He is one who truly appreciates each and every quilt that I make. I have made three quilts for my girls for christmas and they are all at the quilters being quilted. I am making aprons for all the women in my family and some extras for the church holiday fair. I have joined a "Gifty Galore" group online and each week they pick a project for the week. It is fun throwing together small gift items to see if they are something I want to keep or make more of for gifts. So far I have made one "shop hop" purse/bag. It is 4 x 6 in size and has credit card/license slots in it and room for a wallet and keys. Perfect for the shop hopping day! I have most of the supplies for some sachets they made and need some interfacing for some cosmetic bags I am going to do as well. This week they chose a holiday pillow. I have all that I need to do that project already so I will do that this weekend. It is fun as they are all quick and easy projects and are making me do things I don't normally do...like zippers.
I am off to our Friday night Sit n Sew tonight. I am bring with me 8 already cut out aprons to put together. It is a reversible apron and very quick and easy to make. One of the women in our block of the month group had me and a friend over to her home and showed us how to make it. Once I have completed these 8 I will have 16 all together to give as gifts and use for the church fair. Of course I plan on keeping at least one for me! It is going to be hard to chose just one though...they are all different!
Well that is it for today....God bless.
