Hi, all!
To everything there is a season. Profound words that are really resonating with me right now. Changes are coming for us as my husband prepares to retire at the end of May, and life is full right now. It's full of good things, but the preparation required to make the retirement process run smoothly is taking up much of my time now.
As I look at the things I "want" to do and the things I "have" to do, I'm finding that blogging is ending up in the category of "things I have to do". That means that my quilting time is taken up what I need for blog content, and some quilt-y things that I've wanted to do for years are still waiting to be done.
I've been blogging for about thirteen and a half years now, and this is the first time it's felt like a chore. And that makes me sad - but it also makes me want to do something different. To rest from blogging for a while. To see if I get the urge to blog once again.
So I'm taking a break. I don't know if it will be permanent or just for a season, but I do know that if/when I come back, I'll have lots and lots to talk about!
Thanks to those of you who have checked in to see if I'm ok, and to those of you who may have missed the blog over the past few weeks. I'm sorry if anyone is disappointed, but I'm also relying on your kindness as quilters to understand. You'll still be able to find me on Instagram, (I'm @fabricaddictquilts) and I hope to become more consistent about posting there as I work on some fun things that have been gathering dust in my studio. And you can always email me at salliesue57 (at) gmail (dot) com!
I'll miss you all! Thanks for all your support over the years. Keep making quilts for others - it's good for your heart!
Hugs!
Sarah
