Like my sewing room....so is my life

Sitting here enjoying my second cup of coffee and looking around my sewing room/laundry room/ computer space....multi-functional area heh....I realize how in many ways it is a reflection of my life. I have a quilt top in progress, all nicely cut to fit together perfectly....the way I sometimes think that life should be according to me...everything complimentary. However a part of the space is dedicated to one of my favorite collections of fat quarters a veritable riot of color and patterns much like the people in my life. There are pins scattered here and there, pricks of pain that remind me living is a growing and learning process. A hamper by the washer with dirty clothes to remind me that I should keep to my own cleaning instead of judging others lives. Pictures of my family tacked to the bulletin board, reminding me that I am truly blessed even during the most trying times. My computer, inquisitive being my middle name sometimes, gives me grace to remember I don't know everything while providing me with a quick way to explore and learn. It is cluttered and comfortable, a place of refuge at the end of a hectic day or a peaceful welcome to a new day. It is somedays orderly and tidy while others it is messy and chaotic....but which ever it may be it is mine....it is my place to dream, to create, to learn and to just be myself.
