freedom – Page 2 – Joyful Healing, Dogs and Quilts

Prototype

Today I finished a market bag. Tomorrow, I will make notes about things that need to be done with the pattern for next time. I have always thrown things together and worry about quality later. If something wasn’t done well and no one wanted it, then I fulfilled my prophecy that I would fail. I’mContinue reading “Prototype”

Proud

It is back from the quilter. I can’t believe how the quilter honored my struggle by doing the beautiful silver stars all over it. I’m going to bed and snuggle under it with my dogs. Progress and freedom.

Done

Third blog of the day. I am finished for the day. Daughter came home and we made huge progress. Three huge boxes for second hand, two big bags of trash and started ordering things on a shelf upstairs. I can see progress! Freedom! Joyful healing!

Starfish

This a quilt I designed some 20 years ago. Oddly, I completed it during a time I was passively suicidal. It’s a nice reminder of how far I have come. Joyful healing and freedom all in one!

One was because he is perfect and once because he let the former roommate back into our lives.Continue reading “Heading home tomorrow!”

Yesterday, was day 60 of blogging and I entered a writing contest. The writing contest is a bit silly but the blogging has been a journey. There are days when I thought about quitting but I have kept going. I know this can lead to some financial freedom. I really need that. And I needContinue reading “Day 60; Joyful Healing!”

Success

I started my blogging class yesterday and already learned new things. I also problem solved rather than quitting. My Facebook memories often reference something like, “I’m overwhelmed” or “This is too much”. Yesterday, I just kept working until I figured everything out. That is success, freedom and self care all wrapped up in one!

Guess What?

My laptop is at home. I need it to update chrome to sync with my phone and then sync with wordpress. Confused? Me too but I will figure it out. I’m doing a lesson module on blogging on the wordpress site. I’m stuck because of the laptop issue and learning is a bit slower thanContinue reading “Guess What?”
