I’m Aggravated.

I’m upset because I have no time.

I have no time to make and create like I want to.

I have to squeeze in little projects with ten minutes here,

thirty minutes there, so on so forth. Which is annoying.

I’d love to sit down and really learn my new

sewing machine, but I have no time. I’ve made a few

very simple things, but I’m not satisfied with that.

I guess I thought that this sewing machine would change my

creative process overnight. Well, it’s been years since I’ve

even touched a sewing machine, and I just need some practice.

I just want to make cute zipper pouches.

Ya know, the ones like these that are so adorable??
Maybe add a ruffle once i get the hang of it??

or maybe even a few camera straps...
and of course these are darling with ruffles, too

I don’t have a table, so I do all my cutting on my carpeted floors.

I don’t have a fancy rolling cutter thing,

nor could I use it on my carpet.

Cutting out patterns is really difficult in a little 4x4 space

on the floor. I just long to have a little more time to

Really digest this whole process, learn from it,

and accomplish “great” things with this machine.
[which is another reason why we're house hunting...
more on that later, though]

The only time I have to really sit down and

Be crafty is at home after my full day of work.

I get home around 5:30.

Fix dinner.

Clean up from dinner.

And by that time it’s usually about 7:00.

Of course at this point I just wanna snuggle up in my

Lover’s arms and forget about the world for a little bit.

Not to mention my pups need attention.

One night I have Zumba.

One night I have church.

When am I supposed to fit this in?

Looks like I’m going to have to start sacrificing sleep.

This is going to be really hard for me.

I really hope this craft fair is worth it.




Dear Lord,
I was blessed with this sewing machine
and TONS of fabric. Please help me to 
work out a schedule that glorifies you.
Please forgive me for not being as 
annoyed with my schedule on the days
where i don't get to spend quality time with 
you. I need to be way more passionate and
diligent with my prayers and quiet time
as I am about my crafty time. I sure have
never gotten this annoyed when I don't
have time to read my bible. That's awful.
Will you forgive my stupidity? Will you forgive
me for getting caught up in things of the world.
As pastor Steffan said yesterday...
"Take care of God's business,
and He will take care of yours."
Help me to live like that.
Thank you for your grace and mercy on me.
