"Pieces together" or "We will find a way"

[missy42]

Okay you guys, I really need to focus on positive things right now, so here goes!

1. My health is good! Long-time readers of my journal will know why this is so important for me.
   
   
2. My family is healthy, too.
   
   
3. I got a hair cut yesterday! I rarely post pictures of myself, but I just might post one later because my hair dresser snapped a few when

1. I haven't been around very long, but I do understand that. I'm glad you are healthy, and your family too.

4. That's great! I generally like the way I look, but I always look awful in photos, so I don't like taking them. On the rare occasion that I get a good pic, it makes me very happy.

6. oooh, I gotta check that out! Well, I have a bunch of things that I have wanted to make but haven't got around to yet...I'm kind of bad at that. But there's always room for more patterns! :P

I love the Christmas Baubles! I'm not sure if I'll get to it this year, but I'd love to make some of those too.

13. I am really glad they rescheduled the conference!

14. Late December seems like an odd time for a wedding, with all the holiday stuff going on. But I guess it might be easier to get family together if everyone has time off work at the same time. I hope you can make it!

1. It really is something of an achievement for me.

4. Same here! I don't usually think I look too bad, and when I do I'm not really bothered too much by it, but I don't generally like the way I photograph, at least not for a long while now.

6. For one designer, I actually took so long trying to decide between two patterns that by the time I picked one, the coupon had expired! A whole bunch more went up today!

I saw that you put the pattern on your queue! They're small so they go pretty quickly. If you do make any, I hope to see them!

13. Me too!

14. I don't know why they chose the date they did. It could have been convenience of having the family already around. Maybe they wanted a winter wedding, or maybe they got a good deal on the venue for that particular date, I don't know.

As a kid I used to look good in photos. I don't know why that changed when I grew up. :P

I don't have good colors for that project, at the moment. As a matter of fact, my current selection of yarn is embarrassingly small. I want to get more (I want ALL the yarn!) but my room is tiny and I have no space where to put things. What I'd like to do is reorganize my tall bookcase, give away the things I don't need, and free up a shelf for yarn.

But I have a lot of other stuff to do right now, so I probably won't get to it in time for Christmas, but I will definitely share photos when I do make them. :)

Same here with photos.

I've been wanting to reorganize my closet, too but it kinda takes a sustained energy over several days and I just don't have it.

The baubles really only require scraps and they go pretty quickly.

Great minds think alike. I'm glad you have many things to be grateful for and I hope they bring you comfort. *Lots of hugs*

I think a lot of folks are trying to focus on the good things in their life right now. For me, it helps a little, but I went around today with a low-level feeling of anxiety knotting up in my stomach. I'm hope this phase will pass.

OMG I didn't know that a bunch of lovely designers were giving free patterns! <3

I'm so glad that you love your hair and the pictures that much! It's such a huge boost in confidence :D

[missy42]

I always check the "free patterns" threads, but it's been a really great morale boost the last couple days, even if it is a small one.

She's always really generous with me and does a great job with my hair!

We have to focus on the positives!

[missy42]

Yes. I wore tie-dye and purple unicorn socks today in the hopes of brightening things up. Still, it's tough. I realized I had a low-level knot of anxiety in my stomach today. This little blue world does indeed feel upside down.

[carbonpaper]

Yeah, I've been pretty anxious myself. ♥
