In less than 12 hours we write 2026..... 🎉
2025 has been a strange year sewing wise. I did not feel like following my list for finishing. For months I did not feel like sewing much at all, and that is an unfamiliar feeling indeed.
During / after summer I gave myself a push, and and I have actually finished some project, but hardly any on my original list.
For 2026 I think I will skip making written plans and see where that will take me.
My spastic CP body has used a lot of my energy, and I will try to fight the fatigue from another angle.
I have experienced that some foods do not agree with me (or my muscles) , and that I can do something about that with my daily choices. Intermitten fasting also makes a positive difference. I have been very lazy with my IF lately and am paying the price.... Sometimes it is stupid hard to make good choices!
I can not count all the times I have thought about blogging, and ended up thinking, tomorrow or later.
The best time for action is now, and procrastination takes me nowhere.
High on my (not written) priority list is using from my fabric collection / stash and make more charity quilts. Same goes for my yarn - use it, so I can fit something else in that drawer.
The coffee mats in the photo are made from strips of my precious red fabrics. In the photo they are not finished, but you get the idea. I foundation paper pieced them on round coffee filters, with a helping line down the middle. I gave 2 away for Christmas and kept 2 for myself. The stitcheries was in my UFO box, from an Advent project by Helen Stubbings some years back. I did only make 4 in red. The year after I made all 24 in Advent purple. I had plans for making them into something this year, but run out of time and energy.
I will let you know how everything works out. Writing this down makes it easier.
I am usually quite private about my health, but I found it was right to put words to what have been going on. Sometimes I meet myself in the swing door .....
Wishing you and yours a good 2026 💕

Yes, food choices make a difference: for me, an apple, good choice, chocolate covered peanuts, not a good choice. I hope you get your sewing/quilting mojo back this year. I'm looking forward to viewing some Stonefield blocks on your blog. Happy stitching!
