Sewing Mends...

I was visiting Anna's lovely blog while having my morning coffee. Her post title said  "sewing mends." I had to comment on this because i do so relate to that. After breakfast, i was doing some hand stitching, finishing some new Matryoshkas and i thought to myself how good, how relaxing this moment brought me. I love using my sewing machine, but the handstitching is ( i think ) more therapeutic.I tend to lose myself in my own little world and nothing else seem to exist, except for the stillness, the silence inside my home. I love being by myself.
Creating nourishes my soul and eases daily tension. This week, i made 6 new Matryoshkas. I just listed 3 in my shop, the others will have to wait their turn until i am completely done with the handstitching. Maybe i just need to extend the pleasure a little bit more ?
Do not forget to visit Anna, she has such a lovely blog and make the most beautiful tapes and other lovely things with.fabric ♥

Happy thursday to all my lovelies ♥

I light a fire in the fireplace, made coffee and here i am spending a few precious moments sitting with my computer and browsing trough some beautiful blogs. I love to discover new ones that will make my heart miss a beat and will make me gasp with delight. I found this lovely blog while visiting one of my favorite places.
