Colorful Hugs and Kisses

It is that time of year again

the sky seems to always be grey

the clouds are always present

the days are shorter

:( :( :(

Makes it SO hard to take a good picture

I also have to confess...

I have been dealing with a lot of personal issues

making it very hard to be creative.

I have gone into my craft room and simply sat for hours, doing nothing

not wanting to make anything.

Feeling "why bother, nobody would care if I did or not"

I am working on getting better

I am having good days and bad

ANYWHOOOOO

A while back I seen this amazing pattern from Fig Tree and Co

I have had it on top of the pile since I bought it

I even have the very fabric that they used for the pattern pictures

but like I said, my heart wasn't it in

Then I happened to have a thought,

"what if I use different fabric" 

and I ran with it

Cut all my fabric and set out chain piecing...

Using Simply Style fabric by V & Co

I sewed

and sewed

and sewed

and ended up with a great little piles of X's

the race was on, which would run out first, my thread or my pile of fabric

the pile was gone, and I still had a little thread, phew

The end result

This amazing top!!

I have to admit though, it is still up on the design wall

I am trying to decide weather to add a border or not...

Happy Sunday
