I'm not really sure what happened this week but I suddenly got the urge to quickly sew things in the morning before I left for work. Yes, I know, I don't understand it either, but each time I felt, "Hey, you know, I bet I could sew (insert item here) really quickly before I leave."
This also produced one of what I am now calling a "morning miracle". A morning miracle is one of those times where you're trying to get ready for work and you realize all or most of the following things are true: a) you need to do some serious laundry and most of your stuff is in that pile b) you've "outgrown" a good percentage of the clothes in your closet c) you can't dress like a total schlub at work but most of what you own is pretty schlubby d) you do own some new pants but you've not gotten around to hemming them because you've been avoiding the sewing machine after a few years of forcing yourself to sew too often. So, on Thursday morning I found that all of those options were true and I was feeling some stress. I suddenly got the urge to hem a pair of brown corduroy pants I've had for a while that I haven't worn. Then I searched around for something to wear with it...digging through the drawers...and I found a brown frilly shirt...and then a green cardigan...and suddenly I had a morning miracle - an outfit that somehow looked really nice for work and came together as though an angel was over me helping me through the morning panic. Ahhh...I love when that happens.
