Blargh...

Ugh, having no money can seriously suck the motivation out of anyone. I desperately need to work on the quilt Momma picked out for her birthday, but there's just never any spare cash to go to the quilt shop.

Between working two jobs and taking care of my Etsy shop and craft shows, I don't have much time for sewing. I haven't touched Vanishing Squares since March but I think I'll do a little of that over this Memorial Day weekend. I'll post pictures of its progress soon!

In other news...

I won the Modern Log Cabin Quilting book giveaway from Not Martha! So excited to check out the projects! Yay!

Dropping the Ball

Dear Sewing Machine,

I'm so sorry I haven't given you so much as a glance in a month. It's not that I don't want to sew. It's that I just really don't have the time.

I've recently begun working 7 days a week and picked up a 3rd job. (I just wrote a rambling paragraph about teaching and income, but I decided to delete it.) I'm also working on a certificate program through a local university and I'm trying to stay on top of things with that. So needless to say, I am one tired gal and very looking forward to a day off.

I put off Vanishing Squares for a little bit as it doesn't need to be finished until this summer. I also worked with my mom to pick a quilt design of her choosing for her birthday present. I'd love to have it done soon, but I just haven't had the money to buy fabric or the time to get started!

So, in closing, I'm truly sorry, Little Sewing Machine That Could. I promise we'll play soon.

Sincerely,
Em
