I got a sewing machine last Christmas and still haven't used it yet! I used to sew a lot as a teenager. So, I'm going to have to dust it off.

I always have to read the manual when I get my sewing machine out, I do it so rarely!<br />I know what you mean about me time. I miss it at the moment too. Since C has dropped his day sleep, I don't get nearly as much me time during the week, and by the time my husband gets home from work I am pooped. But we have to keep on keeping on, don't we. Hope you manage some more well-deserved me time soon.Rose Redhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08510204661811765499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787570018101441310.post-63941827440697207952014-05-22T21:41:38.585-04:002014-05-22T21:41:38.585-04:00Nice work on the skirts, Mere!

I have the luxury of knowing that I have a day off tomorrow so I can stay up late now and drink hot chocolate and crochet a few more rows before sleep time. Me time is so important and precious, I'm glad you found your me time.<br />Your new skirts are lovely and your work area is divine, I would love to treat myself to a nice area to work in. Maybe one day haha xxx<br />Hugs to you and yours Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03280308724444847135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787570018101441310.post-39809310457114463782014-05-20T10:04:34.008-04:002014-05-20T10:04:34.008-04:00Catching up - it's the end of school and thing...Catching up - it's the end of school and things are crazy!!<br />Little Buddy defiantly puts a smile on my face!!!

Even though my husband doesn't have any grand expectations for the every day, it is still nice when he goes on a business trip. :) Last time he traveled, I had plans for all sorts of organizing and cleaning but instead I went with me, me, me. When I have time, I am more creative. The two just go hand in hand. And when it comes to clothing, I'm all about comfort. Shoes especially. I got my mother's feet, bunions and all, so I hide them as much as I can, even during the hot summer months. Little Buddy is lucky to have you even when you have plans to tucker him out. Ha!

I remember when I used to do sewing when my boys were little and it was always comforting to hear them in the background playing quietly with one of their action figures....<br />Glad you got some alone time...I know how you cherish that.

I lose track of time, focus on what I'm creating. I set up a sewing corner in my new house and made a quick easy valance over the weekend.

Your gorgeous little buddy who you have opened your home and your heart too.<br />He's a little boy going place and there'll be no stopping him I'm sure.<br />Your sewing skills are just fine, love the skirts you made and I must have similar knees too. Legs just like my mums and that was no compliment either!!<br />I can imagine how beautiful your Gardenias smell. I have a ground cover variety growing and love to snip a couple of blooms for my bedside table while they are flowering, but I'm sure they would do so much better in your climate.<br />It's so important to carve some 'me' time out of a busy schedule, all the best with that.......<br />How wonderful to have your 4 boys under your roof at the one time. Enjoy those cuddles from the big, the small and the furry as well. Love Max he's just gorgeous and that nesting ball idea is wonderful......<br />Thanks so much for visiting me and commenting on my latest blog post. I appreciate you making time to read my ramblings, as someone once said like a letter home to mum that's how I write, hehe.....too true.<br />Have a wonderful week, give that gorgeous little Buddy a hug for me, also one for Max please.....<br /><br />Claire XxClairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09742003349610251189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787570018101441310.post-52957347820186545082014-05-18T18:55:55.705-04:002014-05-18T18:55:55.705-04:00I am so happy for you that you finally got some &#...I am so happy for you that you finally got some 'me' time lovely Meredith, and I so understand the need for it - I am the same and, in fact, with a retired hubby around all the time I am so relieved some days to shut myself up in my sewing room and go for it!<br />I congratulate you on two lovely, well made skirts and I'm looking forward to seeing the next one too. I also understand about comfort as one gets a wee bit older as I have a body that likes to swell as the day progresses so what fits on a morning doesn't necessarily fit by the end of the day!!!<br />Little Buddy is coming on great and you're doing a huge loving job with him - you're such a great Mum! xoxo JoyJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11753693250341975299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787570018101441310.post-41265563601753577882014-05-18T17:49:25.634-04:002014-05-18T17:49:25.634-04:00Your skirts turned out beautifully, Meredith.
