Shh.. therapy in session!

Some days after I've been home with my three little screamers, I feel like I need real therapy. Today was one of those days! However, since I don't think that there are any Motherhood Anonymous groups in my area, I choose to use sewing as my therapy!

When I found out right after my first daughters 2nd birthday that I was pregnant with twins, hubby and I decided that we should probably move out of our two bedroom, one bathroom house into something with a bit more space to house two more children. So, we moved into a three bedroom, two and a half bath, which was AWESOME while I was pregnant because I could spread out and use the twins' new room as my sewing room since I was still housing them.

However, I got tired of carrying them around and they wanted to be born, so my nice big sewing room got pushed out so that two cribs, a changing table and ridiculous amounts of other baby crap could move in.

Being the optimistic person that I am though, I decided "Hey, I don't really need ALL of my walk-in-closet for clothes!" I really don't care as much about clothes as I do about my fabric stash and sewing machines! So I did it, I crammed all of my clothes into one corner of the closet and set out to turn it into the best makeshift sewing room I could.

I totally make it work!

As you can see I may need to do some creative arranging when Gertrude shows up… maybe take over the other closet in the bedroom (hubby doesn't really need it anyway, right?!)

Don't look too close, it is a bit of a mess, you know with the holidays coming (next week! Eek!) I spend much more time sewing instead of cleaning!

I even got in some bonding time in today with Betsy! She is helping me work on a paper pieced table topper for Christmas!

Whenever Betsy and I sew, it reminds me why I love her type (Bernina that is!). She is so quiet, which lends very nicely to the whole "no screaming" part of sewing therapy. She does exactly what I tell her (unlike so many other little girls in my life) and she doesn't talk back. I do so enjoy her presence. And now I'm missing her.. gotta get back!

Sew until next time,

Enjoli (and Betsy)

P.S: Feel free to use my "sewing therapy" excuse to get rid of people who try to interrupt your sewing time! My family knows I'm a much happier person when I come out of sewing therapy!
