Compassion!

It has been six weeks since I logged in this space! I am a bit nervous to write again! First of all, I would like to THANK YOU for the ones who have emailed me with your cares and concerns. Thank you, I've read your emails and comments, but I wasn't ready to write you back! Then I like to apologize my absence in this space for so long and without a post to let you know that I will be gone!

After the last post, I was not doing very well! Everything kind of falling apart on my side and I knew I have to log off all the social media and be quiet for awhile. I took all these time to reflect, recharge, and to find self-compassion! If you ask me, have you found it? I'd answer you, Yes! for most of the part!

October was a long month to pass through! I spent most of the time watch movies and watch more movies! I think I've watched over 40 movies that month! There weren't any motivation for me to sew or create! It felt good to stay away from studio for the first week of October, but there was a guilt of not finishing up S' quilt as planned! The second week, I started to work on the quilt! It was a big satisfaction for me in a long long time! I finished binding the quilt on my birthday! I put the quilt away since it was too late to get the quilt ready on S' bed as she was about home in less than 5 minutes!

We had a mini celebration for the birthday; Pho for dinner then we got two cupcakes! I had red velvet and S had rainbow! There were birthday cards arrived in the mail, birthday phone calls, and birthday package arrived from my dear friend, {Kerry}. Of course that night Lucky was on the other side of Skype, celebrated the birthday! It was a good day for us!

The rest of October I pretty much repeated the tea, movie, and cookie time! I did have small accomplishments. I finished a birthday mini quilt for a dear friend, I cooked most of the days, from Japanese to Korean, then back to our usual cooking. Made carmel popcorn for the Halloween and it was so good. We shared with friends and mail out some!

Then eventually, I got tired of movie, tea, and cookie time! Slowly I found myself spend a few hours in a day and a few day a week in the studio again. I finished a few new pouches, finished retake the cover photo for the second sewing pattern {the pattern was written and finished in June}, finished a tutorial that's coming for you, and started holiday sewing. Best of all, I got a part-time job and will start very soon!

It feels like my feet are finally landed on the ground again! It feels quiet good amazing to have a positive attitude and come back here with an enthusiastic again! I, Thank You, for all the supports and encouragements for all the time that you here with our journey, good and bad!

I know one post wouldn't cover all the things that I like to share with you, but I hope this one is a good start! I will be sharing S' quilt, mini quilt for my dear friend, new pouches, new pattern, the tutorial for you and the excitement of the holiday that's coming up!

Meanwhile,  S and I are getting ready for winter coziness here! If you are in the winter wonderland part of the world. Please dress up in woolies and cozy outfits! If you are in the sunny part of the world. Please enjoy your summer season!
