My Condensed Life With No Boundaries

Sew.. here we go!  Starting a blog has been a goal of mine for well over a year.  I decided to do a little planning first, unlike my  reading habit of starting at the back  and leafing through until I get to Chapter 1.  Who does that?  Our lives feel like they've been  plucked out of the ocean and into a fish bowl.  We're still adjusting the oxygen levels, and water ph but we're still here. Truthfully, it was not the "ocean" we were in but a life of too much stuff,  taking up too much space, with too little time or energy to take care of things or us for that matter.  Solution?  Weed out the stuff, reduce the space, and focus on the important things.


Easier said than done, yes I repeat, EASIER SAID THAN DONE.  We gifted, sold, burned, recycled, and carted truck loads of belongs to the thrift store and the dump.  (Why do we keep some of the things we do? - that's for another post.)  Some things came with us.  Things we considered to be important, essential, and "can't live without it" items.  Other things seemed to follow after us, wanted or not.   The newest revelation is that a lot of those things we brought with us have neither a home, nor are they needed, necessary or wanted. I will need plenty of prayer to get it all sorted out, I'm sure. Hopefully I'm learning to make better decisions? 


Following along on this blog you will watch as I readjust and hopefully create a simpler life with more room for the ones I adore:  Jesus,  my husband, my children and grandchildren, my friends, our dogs and the things I am passionate about  music, home schooling, sewing, quilting and other crafts.  You will walk with us as we transition from a 3100 sq ft home where we raised our children, to a 220 sq ft travel trailer. (Granted, we may choose this only temporarily, but no decisions yet.)  While we decide, I plan to keep sewing,  quilting, knitting, crocheting,  crafting,  gifting,  making music, reading, learning and blogging!  Stitch along with me to create my new life.
