June 2025 Life and Quilt Update

 


Our theme this year, CHAOS TO CONTENTMENT!!!  I don't know about anyone else, but I have lost my way lately.  No drive, no ambition, no love of what I'm doing.  I "think" it has to do with being in a constant state of OVERWHELM!  I have not managed time well and wind up with crunch projects -which are never fun.  I've packed my list of "want to accomplish this month" so full that when surprises pop up that are either fun or an emotional wipeout - there is no chance of completion and then a sense of failure sets in.  Ugh.  After much thought on this and a great deal of chatting with the lady in the mirror - I've come up with this theme for 2025.  If you didn't get a chance to check out the post explaining it all --- here is the LINK to the initial post.  I'm looking forward to the direction this can take us all, but especially myself, if I give it a fair shot.  Sometimes stepping out of comfort zones is challenging, but it almost always allows for growth.  Welcome to June and by the end of the month - we are halfway through out Chaos to Contentment year.  Are you making progress?  This may be a TMI post, but I'm struggling.  I haven't picked up a needle or piece of fabric since the beginning of April (well, unless it was to sell and ship it) and barely functioning describes my existence.  I knew this was going to be a challenging year, but . . .  Inner strength and resolve are sometimes hard to find.  I'm still going at it --- things are coming to a head on many fronts in our family and there is beginning to be light at the end of the tunnels.  Yep - those babies are plural.  Do what you need to take care of you -- it's important.
