So wouldn't you believe it. Just as I was finishing the binding on the quilt my machine broke. There was a loud noise and a crunch. My needle was not moving anywhere. All my excitement over future projects and my newfound freedom in expressing and creating went up in flames.

Thanks to my very understanding mother I finished the quilt. She is letting me borrow her machine. This is extremely important to me and I'm grateful. Once you get the creative juices flowing you can't stop. It's highly detrimental to one's health. I made the quilt for Lillian and I can't wait until she gets it.


So in my last entry I shared I wanted to follow my heart more. I think it's really a healthy decision. Forcing myself to do things always felt like I was splitting myself in half. It's nice to not feel guilty over not having time to do laundry. My heart used to scream at about 3:30. "Zach is at home with Zoe and Archer. You should be there." Yes my heart is adamant and attached to my children and husband. If they are not around I'm not complete.

I finished the book The God of Animals. It's a fiction novel about horses and a struggling family. I would give it four out of five stars. Some of it was a little close to home. I love horses more than any other animal and I don't like it when they get hurt.

I started reading How to Breathe Underwater by Julie Orringer. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. It's hard to choose between reading and sewing.

Sunday I got caught up on a show that I just started watching called Jon and Kate plus 8. They were having problems getting pregnant so they were using fertility therapy. They had twins. They wanted another child and ended up have sextuplets. It's highly entertaining to watch. Right now the twins are six and the sextuplets are three.

I hope everyone has a great day!
