A letter to February
March 07, 2016
What happened? Where did you go? I thought we had something good going on and then poof! No more. No note, no calls, just the lingering of something that was once special and now is gone.
I have to confess, usually I let you pass by, and don't even bat an eyelid, but this time, February you were great and I miss you.
Granted it was curtains (which I will show you sometime soon) which is quite different from the other projects I have endeavoured. As much as I love sewing I never seem to set myself time. I am always starting projects and so for once it was nice to finish one. I'd never actually made curtains before, it's a different experience.
I danced, oh, it is so nice to dance again.
I had momentarily pined for a dance class once or twice last year but to
be actually back in a studio working hard has been the best.
I have to confess, usually I let you pass by, and don't even bat an eyelid, but this time, February you were great and I miss you.
I miss the lazy days, spent lying
in the shade. The sweltering days and long balmy dusks.

You forgot to take the heat with
you. It stayed behind frying the new grass shoots that had vainly tried to
reclaim the dusty earth.
I can't compute going back to
school with such heat.
Reflecting back I enjoyed the time
we had,
What have I done? I fell in love
with another books series, sadly the series is still being written (I don't want to have to
wait!!).
I baked a LOT!
I tried so many different things this month. It got hard nearing the end to find new things to bake. The more I baked the more confident I got. I wanted to try new and more complex things but couldn't decide where to start. Something I'll have to achieve this month.

I travelled and explored.
I slept and (didn't)
I got to sew!
I danced, oh, it is so nice to dance again.
February was the month that I got
things back in order.
It was the month that I really realised
how much enjoyment my blog brought me. I came up with a slightly different
header, which brought me more enjoyment that the previous one.
While the time away from my blog
was peaceful I found that fitting little things in like taking blog photos was
not only easy to do, but very enjoyable.
For the first time in a very long
time I was creating funny memories all by myself.
For the first time in forever I was
making the little images in my head, the ones that usually get pushed aside and
marked as 'impossible to achieve' were being created, all by myself.
I started to realise that I could
actually be a creative person too.
Contrary to what I believed for the whole
of my schooling, I found that I enjoyed writing. While I haven't really 'found
my voice' I loved being able to write what I wanted, how I wanted.
Cheers February,
You've been great.
Until next year,
xx
