June 1st

And supposedly summer is here. Well, let me know if you find it and send it my way.
For the first time in a year I miss just a touch of warmth. We have sun (now and then) but a little bit of heat would be nice. Just to warm up the old bones.
So, I'm officially kicking off my "do all these things before summer holiday starts" list and today my number one item to do is to attempt to sew a cushion.
SOme might say that's an easy thing to do and shouldn't take more than 15 minutes, but when you have to factor in the panic attacks, anxiousness and sheer fear it takes a little while longer. And that's just getting the sewing machine out of the box!!
Last might I cut the fabric (don't worry, I'm using old sheets and a cut up dress from a charity shop). I did that fairly well without hyperventilating. Today I am setting up the machine and actually sewing the pieces together.
Wish me luck.
