letting go...

http://www.thehappygal.com/letting-go/

.... and so after 16 years of ups and downs a new chapter begins.

It's not easy, I find letting go of a dream I've tried to hold on to for so long is super hard.

At least I'm glad I still find sewing calming (I made six Lola pouches and a few bags in the last few days). And I have new patterns ready to be released soon. I find keeping my hands and my mind busy is the best way forward.

Wish me luck :) Svetlana

    Sorry you had to let a dream go, but as one of my favorite quotes goes..."there are far far better things ahead then any we leave behind" CSLewis

    It certainly takes more stenght to let go than to hold on. Good luck with whatever is next. Can't wait to see what it brings.

    I try to translate a saying that I like a lot:
    Sometimes you only see problems, like trees close together.
    Try to see the space in between
    and the light!
    good luck Svetlana!

    I hope things work out well for you, whatever may be the cause of your troubles. I do agree with you that sewing is so relaxing. When I'm troubled or stressed, I find sewing, knitting, making pretty piles of fabric... anything to get my creative side moving, really helps to calm and center me. Good luck!

    I really enjoy your blog: the easy way you write, your beautiful photos and of course all the things you make. I still in awe that you were able to whip up a sewing machine bag in a pinch!. Good luck with your changes. FYI, when I'm stressed, ironing helps.
