Relaxation Exercise

Yesterday evening I felt I need to do something that has nothing to do with the wedding. Something that calms me down, something to relax.

My D-darling uses to go into the garden and cut back roses or to repair his remote-controlled racing cars if he is in the need of relaxation. He says doing something where your thoughts are concentrated on one single simple issue brings the best result.

So I decided to sew simple shorts I already had cut the pieces for. Sewn in less than an hour, without thinking. One and a half years ago I would have needed at least 2 days for this kind of shorts and it would not have been relaxing. But today it´s a very easy exercise.

So now I´m relaxed and here´s my To-Do list – 16 days to go:

Sew my Outfit (top is cut – bottom part not)

Sew Little Sweetys outfit (finish a shirt and shorten a pant)

Sew a petticoat and a waistbelt for my brother´s girlfriend

Finish the Party Paper (I have not come very far yet)

Finish the picture/video presentation (I´ve come maybe half way)

I will have an open house-party for the Swedish relatives at my place 2 days before the wedding, for that I need to do:

Bake 5 cakes

Clean the entire house (or rather delegate the cleaning of the house – but believe me: often it is much more easier to be able to do things yourself)

Buy different food and prepare

Sew new cushions for outside out of this fabric (no, I have not done it yet)

And one small curtain is still missing

I´m not sure if I´ve forgotten something, but I also need to finish D-darlings tax declarations by the end of the month. I should not forget to buy birthday presents for Little Sweety who turns 4 beginning of July. And of course I need to do some work as well….

Cheerio my dear friends! Wish me luck!
