I know the title of my blog post sounds pretty random but that has been the state of my life in the last 24 hours.
I was up late last night, way too late, working on a free pieced block. It was such a much needed break from the more precise work I've been doing. My table ended up looking like this:
It did result in this fun block. I love making log cabin blocks. Picking fabrics is the most satisfying!
The pear in the middle is paper pieced. A block I made a while ago. Thought it would be fun as the focal point of the block!
So my youngest son started Kindergarten today- hence the New Beginning. Oh my goodness, I was not expecting the reaction I had - I actually cried!!! I wasn't expecting to feel that way....I thought I was ready for him to go off into the big wide world! I think he is ready, but it is just such a big step in his young life. He is a very busy and energetic little guy which adds to my stress. Will he be able to sit still? Will he listen and behave? Most important - will he like school? Ugh........I'm sure all will be well when I pick him up in three hours but I can't help but worry......
There he is, among that sea of little heads. I love him so much......
Have a lovely day!

Sweetness alround: your block and your little guy! I remember sitting outside and crying my eyes out when L 1st started school!
ReplyDeleteBig day!! It's an all too familiar feeling Charise. I think my boys first day at his new school was more nerve wracking for me than it was for him lol! Hope your little one is having a fun day at school, deep breaths it will be fine :)
ReplyDeleteOh, it's so hard. I know I have been teary eyed on the first day of school each year since Timothy started. I will have a really hard time when Penny goes off, being the last one. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteFabulous block! I love the little pear centre.
ReplyDeleteOh I hope you managed through the day - maybe with some sewing for distraction! My little guy starts Kindy in February and I have the exact same worries! Hope your little man had a fabulous first day!!
Gorgeous BLOCK LOVE IT TO PIECES!!! I hope you managed whilst your littlest was at school. I'm pretty sure he managed better than you did if memory serves me right. When my baby went to school I cried and cried - I just couldn't believe he was that big. Well he's way bigger now and has a son of his own who is going to start school on October 4. Wonder how my darling dil will cope? Well she does have a wee one at home - Chloe is only 10 months old. How did he cope?
ReplyDeleteI love your cute block Charise, your little pear is the sweetest!
ReplyDeleteI can so relate to your start of school emotions. When my son started this year, I really wanted to send him off with a cheery wave and a smile, but boy, was that a struggle!! I feel like our kids are connected to us by an invisible stretchy cord straight to our hearts and now and then you really feel that wrench when they head off away from you.
I hope he had a wonderful day and remember, tea always helps a little :)

cute block! yep! new beginnings and a new time for you.
ReplyDeletePrecious little man! You are a normal mom. It's a hard thing to do, letting someone else care, love and teach your child. Love your blocks. You do beautiful work. cmt
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat block Cherise, love the paper-piecing in the center!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all - I love that block. Second, I cried too - unexpectedly when I brought my littlest (at the time - I wasn't even pregnant with my third yet) to school the first time - sending you virtual hugs!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute block! I love the fabric...
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie pie!! He'll be fine..just needs time to learn the rules and make new friends. ;p
ReplyDeleteoh my heart is with you! xo
ReplyDeleteWait 'til they go off to college. Man, oh man. I think I sat on her bed everyday and cried my eyes out for 6 months.
ReplyDeleteKindergarten was easy-peasy on the tears.
