So I am going to drop a few balls temporarily. One of those balls is this blog of mine that I love so much. I may stop by occasionally but I am going to make a concerted effort to not post for the next couple of weeks for the most part.
I'll still be sewing, and blog reading - though I have cut back on commenting to save time of late. I'll be here, just quieter than normal. No big worries going on, don't let your imagination run wild. Nothing bad at all. I just need to focus on some other stuff for a bit.
Before you know it I will be back. You may not even notice I've been gone. You too are busy after all. You might be cheering right now, looking forward to a break from my chatter. Whatever you are doing, enjoy it.
If you are on Instagram you might see me around. I can be found at @canadianabroad there.
I will leave you with a progress photo of the hand stitching on the Walk in the Woods baby quilt. I am doing free form stitching in wavy lines. It's adding lots of texture and I love it, though it is rather different in terms of quilting.
I'll be back before you know it.

Well, I am amazed at all the posts you crank out, so I understand you need a break! We will be here waiting for you:) See you at Retreat if not online before then!
ReplyDeleteWe'll miss you, of course, but I totally understand the need to focus on other things, at least temporarily. See you when you get back!
ReplyDeleteA: I will notice, and B: I didn't know you were on Instagram! *follows*
ReplyDeleteYou're so right, sometimes one just needs to re-focus. Enjoy your break :-)

Hurry back as I'm not on instagram and not sure I could cope with adding any more social media. I do get what a pressure it is keeping up. I wasn't online for a few days because I was out and about and I came back to so much that needed my attention.
ReplyDeleteLove the wavy lines and enjoy the break and keep those balls going :)

ReplyDeleteYeah, you do post too much ;) Honestly I'd run out of stuff to talk about. Have a nice blog holiday!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I'm going to Toronto for a few days in October but it's currently a secret from Alex as it's his birthday present...
Please ignore last comment from my work account, I could get into trouble for using it!
enjoy your blog holiday! Your chatter will be missed, though ! :)
ReplyDeletetake care
See you later then. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteHave fun.....we'll miss you though
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your break; it is well deserved.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your break Mrs, it's well deserved :o), xxx
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's good to step back or else everything becomes an obligation rather than fun. You will be missed very much, but it's right to prioritise when there's a lot going on. Take care and be happy! See you soon!
ReplyDeleteI love your wave quilting! And I'll miss your posts while you take your blogging break. Hope you'll come back well rested and full of new ideas!
ReplyDeleteYour project is stunning and yes, look after what is the most important parts of your life!
ReplyDeleteYeah, like I won't be emailing you every 5 minutes!
ReplyDeleteI am feeling the pressure too and can't figure out why my To Do list keeps getting longer dammit!
Thought you'd been a bit more quiet than normal. I will miss your lovely chatter, but totally understand. Jxo
ReplyDeleteHave a nice break, I can't wait to see what stitching you do while you're not online! (P.S. If you fancy it you could tweet the odd instagram photo so I can see it *grin*)
ReplyDeleteWhat is going on at the moment?! Life seems full on for lots of us, lets hope it quietness down soon and I'll look forward to it with you (I also always read, sometimes comment and rarely g et time to post anymore!)
ReplyDeleteI'll miss my daily fix but understand your need to focus on other things for a while. I have often thought about blogging but dont know when I'd find the time!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time 'away', do loads of sewing and have fun.
You know I love your blog and your frequent notes, but I totally understand your need for a break. Enjoy the time off blogging, I'll be patiently waiting for your return.
ReplyDeleteOh man, I know that feeling! And you are doing absolutely the right thing. You will be missed, but there are only so many hours in the day x
ReplyDeleteOf course we'll miss you, but have to confess I have often wondered how you daily bloggers find the time!!! Enjoy your down time :-)
ReplyDeleteCompletely understand! Miss your daily updates and pretties, but life happens :). From another bad ball juggler :) x
ReplyDeleteEveryone needs a break - enjoy it! Will be wonderful when you decided to come back!
ReplyDeleteI don't blame your for needing to take a break. I am amazed at how often you post on your blog and in saying that I LOVE every single minute of your blog posts. You have one of the best blogs out there and it will be dearly missed. So please enjoy your break and have a wonderful time quilting and stitching to your hearts content. Will look forward to hearing from you again :)
ReplyDeleteWe will miss you. Enjoy your time and happy sewing!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you manage to post every day anyway! Have a nice break!
ReplyDeleteYou do what you need to do, we will all still be here when you get back. (Although that does sound like we are stalking you!!!)
ReplyDeleteTotally understand that is all ! Xxx
ReplyDeleteTotally understand that is all ! Xxx
ReplyDeleteTotally understand that is all ! Xxx
ReplyDeleteI will notice and miss you - I hope it is fun stuff you will be doing, but I am thinking probably work x
ReplyDeleteI had just realised you didnt seem to be on my bloglovin list...dunno how that happened happened but have remedied that now so am ready and waiting.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy summer and keep practising with those balls.x
Wow! You were serious!!!!
ReplyDeleteSometimes you just have to take a break. Im constantly amazed by all you do anyway (and people say I move at a million miles an hour -you totally have me beat!)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the down time and we'll see you when you re-surface.
Will miss you as I'm not an instagrammer! Hope to catch up with you somewhen then - keep your balls flying!
ReplyDelete*sob*
ReplyDeleteGood.....if you keep quiet for a bit I might be able to get more sewing done......though I'll miss you really!
ReplyDeleteWoops! I mean to say "sob" as in Crying..... (not S.O.B. which is altogether very rude )
ReplyDeleteI've always admired and wondered how you manage to post so much! I think you very much deserve a little time off, but I shall miss you! So looking forward to meeting you for real at FQ Retreat. Not that long now!
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't until I started my own blog that I realised how long it actually takes to write a post -and you write/wrote one everyday! How? And even looking online for recipes for people who really don't expect it! Enjoy your break. You deserve it. But I will miss your posts :( (runs off to add on IG)
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear you are taking some time off. I have cut back on my posting, reading and commenting too. There just are not enough hours in the day. Take care and I'll be here to read and comment when you are ready to write again
ReplyDeleteOh bugger. Yours is one of my favourite blogs, but I understand you can't do everything. Enjoy your break!
ReplyDeleteI'll notice! I'll notice. Take time. We all need to focus on real life, so feel no pressure to post at all. Know I'll notice, though :)
ReplyDeletexx
Hope you have a restful break, see you soon!
ReplyDeleteOh great! Well I've dropped my balls, all of them and lost them too. Don't know where I am really, but realised I've really missed catching up with you. So here I am, and you've gone - humph!! Oh well, I totally understand and will just have to amuse myself by reading back over all your blog posts I've not read :) Do what you need to do, but hope you come back to blogging xx
ReplyDeleteI set the balls down (or out-right drop them) on a regular basis. In fact, I'm catching up after two weeks of not having time to read anyone. I completely understand where you're at, and must say that it always amazed me that you found time to post DAILY. Find your bliss. :-) I'm subscribed so I'll know if you pop back but if you start a whole new blog, you have to tell us, 'kay? :-)
ReplyDeleteHhhmmm - so long as you are sure you are ok. There are a few of us who love your chatter (I have missed it over my hiatus with reports). Here if you need anything. Hugs x
ReplyDeleteWell well well... I totally missed this post because I'm sporadic with my reading at the moment but I just came looking because I'd noticed you hadn't popped in my feed for a while. So there you go, you have definitely been missed **blows kisses.
ReplyDeleteI'd also noticed you hadn't commented in a while so I'm glad to see it is an intentional break. Not that I expect you to, but I miss you when you don't :)
We should try and Skype soon. So much to catch up on now that it would never fit in an email. Plus I'm just so stressed out about this darn house business that its eating away all my time. Fingers crossed it is all resolved soon
Thanks for the idea for the threads - I have several of these too & have not used them yet.
ReplyDeleteMaybe I could hand quilt something?? Stop laughing brain, it could totally happen. LOL
Miss your posts but totes understand the whole balls thing. I have too many myself atm. Have not blogged for ages.
Are you going to FQR this year?
Lush x
I will miss you even if I can see some little things on instagram! all the best and hope you enjoy the sunshine too
ReplyDeleteSo you took a break just when I became so busy that all I have had to talk about is the birds. I am sorry I did not notice this till today, I am still at 999 posts to read in my reader but that is better than it was a couple of days ago. I hope you are enjoying the start of summer, we are, although it is flooding all over the south of the province.
ReplyDeleteHope your mum came down and you weren't saying 'Balls' again this morning!
