Teaching to write and speak in English AND in French is one of my favorite things.
So in paralell to that all encompassing activity, I fit in my beloved sewing projects: here the Miette skirt, Tilly pattern, where I am attempting to do stripy pockets in contrasting colors....it requires precision which isnt my thing at all. every night, I add a detail, sew a side seam, finish a hem.
This is the 70s vintage sheet that will be turned into a Laurel dress soon.... cant wait.
Sometimes I have to take breaks to help mixing magic potions with my minx:
Its tough being a creative mum. you feel guilty all the time if you dont use all your free time and energy at being a mum. At the same time, you are a better happier mum if you do things for yourself, creative things, so you have to learn to get everything to fit inside a day. Wouldnt change it for the world though.
How do you guys do it?

although I'm not a parent, I too am feeling the crunch of a million challenges: gatsby, mad men, laurel, and me made may at the moment! I'm trying to be more social with my blogging, so I want to participate, but I think I need to get more organized and plan my time more wisely if I want to be successful.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the social aspect too but get carried away and suddenly I'm wondering why I'm exhausted all the time! It's so addictive making stuff and then sometimes getting nice comments! X
ReplyDeleteI agree! Sewing ideas are hard to turn off once you start, there are so many possibilities and so much amazing blog inspiration, it's a full time job just sorting out sewing lists! I dread the thought of having a child and then starting sewing for someone else again ha x
