I have always loved September. For me it represents so many new beginnings; the first day of school, my birthday, it is even Jewish New Year though I've not particular celebrated it that way. September 2015 was all about just getting through the next step, one little bit of progress over the mountain path, carefully as to not cause an avalanche.
Here's what I worked on month-by month:

Whew! All that was tiring! That gets us all caught up! My husband is still on swing shift so I am still 99% a single parent. However I am going to be careful as to not overload myself to *that* point again. I am enjoying my freedom of sitting and enjoying an evening of MY choice instead of trying to keep up with that frantic pace. I still have a lot to get done, but at a much more reasonable pace. :D I have lots of exciting things to share with you!
Rachel I adore those square bags with the flap! So cool! I was just thinking about how we met, I saw a photo of your Luck Sack on the free pattern testers board when I was looking for another test I had agreed to join. From that first conversation with you, I knew that we would be friends. I have to say that your Luck Sack truly is lucky, I found you!
ReplyDeleteBecky! I'm the lucky one to have found you; You are a fantastic friend! <3
