As you can see, I use the term 'tools' very loosely! I have enough in there to do very simple fixes:
I don't know the last time I enjoyed sewing something so much! It was just a calm, soothing activity, which was very needed at that time.
I took my time, didn't rush through...and fixed several issues with the dress:
Not to be all dramatic, but this week (and the past couple) have brought so many things into perspective for me. I am taking the time to truly enjoy the little things that present themselves to me through the day. The acts of kindness that have been given are overwhelming at times and I am filled with gratitude for so many people in my life (those that I know well and those I have never even met face to face) and feeling extremely blessed.
I should be back to regularly posting again next week.
Have a great weekend and STAY HEALTHY!

I think I enjoy hand sewing the most, it IS a very calming task. And what a cute dress to work on. Who wouldn't love working on a "Dorthy" dress???!!!???
Very nice. I love the picture of the sewing basket. I inherited my Mom's wooden sewing box - a treasure. Of course I have several small rubbermaid boxes with various other tools!
I love hand work - it is special and often calming. Hand-quilters (including me) will tell you it's cheaper than a therapist. And feeling the fabric - ummmm... Wonderful! (I have to put my hands in my pockets at quilt shows that feature antique quilts, since you're not supposed to touch.
I'm so glad to see you are getting better - looking forward to more posts soon!
Oh Sonya! Sounds like you were in the hospital with your bad pneumonia and the stuff that goes with it! I hope you are resting comfortably and recovering. Take it easy and don't let the need to get things done give you a set back. I know it can be overwhelming. My week was horrible, horrible, too but for a different reason. I did blog about it, so if you're up to reading stop by and catch up. So glad you are home and feeling better! Now, take care!
Sonya, how scary! I am so glad you recovered! I look forward to more or your wonderful glue gun exploits! You inspire me, you know... (:@
My MIL had a sewing basket much like that. Brings back fond memories.
These are two things which also have been included in my life lessons.
They are touchstones for when life gets "too" - too busy, too uncertain, too overwhelming.
At a time when I was not sure I would live, priorities shifted and Love shone clearly. When a loved one stood on the edge, I found hand work, especially knitting, soothing.
Recovery takes time. Blessing upon yours!
Oh my goodness! That is exactly like my grandmother's "button basket" that I inherited. How neat. I'm glad you are slowly coming back to life!
