PLEASE !
I need more time ! Can anyone help ?
The reason things have been pretty sparse around here is that I am smack bang in the middle of my university year, and to say things are pretty hectic around Clovelly Towers is a bit of an understatement ! Mr P has even had to take on the role of main housekeeper this week as I have not got time to cook or anything, this is the tightest for time I can ever remember being and I feel like a tightly coiled spring being pulled form end to end. I swear if Mr P had not taken over the household running this week I would have snapped.
This is how tight I am for time - I am writing this at work ! Lol (A client has not turned up and so I am taking advantage of the free slot :-)
I have so many plans, but absolutely no time, I still need to post the details of my latest make and I am desperate to sew up a new skirt and top. I even called into Heathcotes on the way back from work last Wednesday and purchased new fabrics, it made me feel happy and fuelled my creative dreams. As thats all I can do right now, dream, lol.
To top it all the weather here in the UK is still awful, and we have as yet had no summer at all. All I can do is look wistfully at your blogs for my injection of sewing, and gaze jealously at your blue sky backdrops to your wondeful makes. Jealous, Me ? MUCH !
So, I hope to post something this weekend, and I also really want to try the grading up for the Cambie dress, I have also bought black jersey for my first attempt at sewing with it (not that I will ever have the time).
Can I just say thanks for bearing with me folks, I appreciate the fact that you are still here with me, and I love to read your comments they keep me going. I fully intend to be making like some some kind of maniac when my course finishes in October, but until then my friends, I am likely to be thin on the ground, I literally have shed loads of study to do and an assignement to write every 3 weeks. My word its grim, lol !
On a lighter note, the sun sems to be a peeking today, Ive almost finshed assignment number three, and its almost the weekend ! YAY !! :-)
I hope you are all marvelous :-) Thanks again for keeping me going during my darkest times, lol.

Aww, Kirsty! Big hug! I really admire how you're hanging in there. It will be worth it in the end, and when you get to the end, you should give yourself a nice reward!
ReplyDeleteYikes, I'm so sorry that you're so strapped for time! I'll be thinking of you! Hope October comes quickly and you're able to find time to rest in the meantime!
ReplyDeleteYou are not the only one. We too have been feeling rather manic recently too. Deep breath, enjoy the dreaming and hope you find some sewing time too.
ReplyDeleteI hope things get less manic for you too, fingers crossed that whatever is making you manic gets sorted soon xx
DeleteHey guys :-) Thanks so much, you lot make me feel all warm and fuzzy xx Charlotte you are so right about taking a deep breath lol, I am so busy that right now I almost don't have time to breathe it seems. Oh well, I am busy working on my assignment now, if it takes me ALL NIGHT I am going to finish it so that I can sew for the whole day tomorrow. Now that IS something to look forward to :-). Thanks again to you, but especially to you Gail and Ginger, you 2 are like my personal cheer bringers :-) For that I am always grateful xxx
ReplyDeleteOh Kirsty, I feel your pain! But hang on in there and keep that project list alive. Your studying must be a priority and of course there will always be the work getting in the way! Do you travel to work on public transport? Perhaps you could work on a small portable project on the journey, say some embroidery or kniting/crochet. I realised I was giving up a good thing when I moved nearer the office. No travelling time! Which is the only me time I seemed to get! Now I just steal sleep time (and housework time) which isn't very good for anyone really!
ReplyDeleteHa I steal sleeping and housework time too, lol. I am sorry you for you too, but glad its not only me :-) I am thinking about embroidery as I have seen some lovely stuff on some of these ere blogs. It looks so pretty on a garment and like you say its portable. I did try knitting and loved it, but I mademy left wrist sore and it never seems to have righted itself. I am hoping for some sun and sewing time this weekend, and looking out of the window right now I am halway there :-) xxx
Deletehang in there, sending lots of love x
ReplyDeleteThank you xx I guess you also know the constriants that a hectic schedule of study can bring too ! We just gotta hang in there. I feel bad tho as my blog has taken the hit and I love writing it, but I just cant spare the time with this course. Hey ho I finish for a few months in october, and next year I will do a course with half as many points, see if I cant reclaim some of my life lol :-)) At last I have people like you to keep me enthused through your lovely spaces xxx
