Every first of the month, City Daily Photo bloggers participate in Theme Day, and this time the theme is entertainment. Sewing may not seem like a good time to you, but honestly it's probably my favorite hobby at the moment. This is my beloved sewing machine. It's well over 20 years old, but I refuse to replace it even though Pat periodically threatens to buy me a fancy new one.
This year I have decided to really lean into the things that bring me joy, and I've identified them specifically: gardening, reading and sewing. The reason for this is the current administration and the daily chaos that it brings. I need to actively envelop myself in happiness! I don't know about you, but personally speaking the last time this creep was president it was just perpetual, 24 hour stress for four straight years, alarm bells constantly clanging in my head. Doing the things that I love, and spending time with the people that I love -- that's what's keeping me sane right now. The photo below shows my current work in progress: a vintage looking Hawaiian shirt for my beloved Pat. I can't wait to see it on him.

Good for you!! I pay entirely too much attention to the madness..but I'm old so I take it less hard than I used to. (Goal now is to live long enough to see this taper off and some sanity restored. At least I am optimistic about that!) You'll have to take a photo of Pat in his red hibiscus shirt and post it!
It is hard to watch the news these days. Good for you spending time this way.
