Violet's Homestead

• Wednesday, August 17, 2005 - What's my problem?

Posted in Sewing
 I have no idea but it isn't godly. About two years ago God gave me a desire to sew everything my family needs (that can be provided through sewing) from clothes to table cloths. I was all geeked to get started and looked for patterns. Then I remembered, oh yeah, I don't have a machine. That's when it started. My enthusiasm started to wan and it just keeps getting lower and lower. I have a machine now and I have actually done some sewing...but the enthusiasm isn't there. It's like a drudgery and a toil. Kinda like how I was with piano lessons oh so long ago. If that's a true analogy then I'm just acting very childish. When I got older I realized the value of those piano lessons. I know there's great value in sewing, I just have seen how you cut pieces apart and pin them to a pattern and sew around the lines...IT'S BORING!!!  Now I know God isn't boring so something must be wrong. Maybe the Holy Spirit will teach me how to sew without patterns. That would be VERY interesting.

     So I'm sitting here on the computer (which is a whole lot more fun than sewing to me right now), when I need to be cutting out the felt fabric I have so I can practice sewing straight lines. My Mom told me it'll only take about 5 min. I'm just so not motivated. I have to take the machine out of the box and put it on the floor. There are no tables in our room and I have to keep it in our room so the kids don't get too curious. That just pours more rain on my parade (which sounds pretty pitiful by now). *SIGH*....I might just push it back to tonight when my husband will be home to encourage me....
