More TNT Sewing for Relaxation

It's such a joy to have a hobby that provides a creative distraction and some bright new clothes.  In the last two weeks I've been stitching up a few of these previously cut out sewing projects.  I stashed them earlier this winter when I knew my cutting table would leave so I could stage the sewing room as a combo bedroom and office/craft space.  So nothing new or complicated this past month.....which is good because I'm definitely distracted.  But I do have a few new items in my wardrobe and some nice time focusing on fabric and clothing rather than just real estate.

Another Pamela's Patterns Magic Pencil Skirt

I've also been doing a lot of enjoyable reading.   These are sweet, heart warming books with kind, thoughtful people seeking to share their talents, skills and care with others.  Just what I need right about now.

Well, maybe just some crazy New Jersey sexy fun for diversion as well:

Finally, what makes all of the real estate uncertainty bearable are my wonderful family and friends who are so kind, funny, supportive and thoroughly amusing.  Here are some of the activities that we've been sharing that lift my spirits.   

We've been to the theater with friends and I was captivated by the play Time Stands Still.  Two years ago it played on Broadway with Laura Linney and I was thrilled that it came to our wonderful Florida Rep Theater in Fort Myers.  It's not a comfortable play....dealing with the lives of two war journalists home after nine years covering the mid-east conflicts.  But there are moments of laughter amidst the suffering and I found it very healing personally.  

I've also had a wonderful girls night out in the midst of the real estate listing process, a brief but fun visit with a cousin and his wife and a great visit to the east coast of Florida where I took these pics at the Morikami Japanese Gardens and Museum  Morikami

  

Thank you, Amy, for a wonderful day.
