Many of us have a bucket list. Well I have a want list. Shame on me, right......
I would like a New sewing machine, new dishes organized sewing room, new stove, and one day a week to sew. The schedule has been difficult as of late. I will get through it, but I feel like I am torn.
One follower [Katie] said I should carve out time for myself, but some days are really hard to find that time. With illness and also emergencies you do what you have to do.
Today I got another flower done for the star and flower hexagon quilt top. It is all done by hand. I do need to do some cutting to get more variety in my string blocks and also the hexagons because they both take the same size strips.
I am sure I will not get much on my list. Reality sets in. Maybe organizing my room better is the only reality on this list. More important is to be there for my family and carve out a little bit if only 15 minutes a day to do something I want to do.
Today is cleaning for a little bit and then onto maybe what I want to do. Hopefully...... Chris

Chris, you do what you can do and we thankful for what you can do. Being the caregiver for two people and baby sitting grandchildren is almost a full time job. I'm glad you can some sewing time.Caregiving and the never knowing what will happen next is exhausting in itself. I know, as I've been there
someday you will have a lot of time after the little ones are grown up and the caregiving is done...cherish this time now...plenty of time for sewing in years to come...
