Life is funny. You finally resign yourself to accepting your situation and then BAM! Suddenly, things change. I had accepted that I probably wouldn't have kids, but realized I needed to move forward with my personal goals. There's no sense in putting dreams and goals on hold for what might be. That's a big life lesson right there. One that's more useful the younger you are when you learn it.
Don't put ambitions on hold for what might happen. Because it probably won't. Or it'll be delayed. And then you'll have wasted all that time that you could have used learning and perfecting your skills.
I had decided to move forward with my pattern making goals and bought some books and supplies to teach myself. I made a couple of simple skirt blocks that I was happy with and wrote up a blog post. As I was thinking it over, making sure my instructions were clear, I found out I was pregnant. Absolute elation! Then I realized I probably shouldn't sew clothes for myself because my body would soon change shape and size.
Well, crud.
I stalled out completely. This is my first pregnancy so I'm clueless on how quickly and how drastically changes will happen. Why spend a week drafting and sewing a skirt if I won't be able to wear it at all when I'm finished? I have some sewing and pattern ideas floating around, but I'll be including posts about other things until my body size/shape returns to whatever its new normal will be.
Until, then. If you're a foodie, you'll probably love my blog for the next several months. I purchased a couple of new tools and am in chef mode. Plus, I really love food at this point in my life. Even if it doesn't always love me. It's like I have the digestive system of an old Jewish man who has enjoyed a life full of brisket and pastrami.
