Not what I had planned
Life never goes exactly to plan - at least mine doesn't. I had all these great plans on how I would blog about all my sewing adventures but the reality was very different. First of all I didn't get as much sewing done as I wanted and then I just never got around to blog about it. lately I have had a bit of an epiphany. It started with me reading this Victoria's blog: Ten Thousand Hours of Sewing I did borrow the book at the library but have not been able to get stuck into it. However, one thing that keeps popping up in my mind from the book is this: It says it takes 10,000 hours of practice to get truly good at something. I started looking at how many (actually how few) hours I spent sewing and realised that I was acutally spending less time sewing than I did cooking, cleaning and watching TV. Shameful! It hit me big time that I actually spent the least amount of time per week on what I enjoy the most! Well, that's going to change!

Hi Susan! What a life changing epiphany. I'm delighted that you're inspired by the 10,000hr notion as well. I heard of it by radio over a year ago and it's what got me started. It's funny, I've never read the complete book Outliers either but the that one chapter gave me a fresh and invigorating perspective. I wish you the best on your endeavors. Maybe we can cheer each other on. I'll be following along with you. Take care and Happy Sewing.
