If you read my previous posts you know that I changed positions within the same company. I am a pharmacist for Stop and Shop-a grocery chain. My previous position was per diem and it included lots of travel, sometimes more than an hour each way. It was taking a toll since my days were usually 12 hours plus a commute. The benefit was that I could choose the days I worked and when hubby travelled I didn't work. That made it easy as far as managing the boys.
My new position is local but I work more days. I thought I would have all this extra time to do things but the joke is on me. It's more stressful than ever and working 5 days a week leaves little time to catch up. What used to be my stitchy days are now loaded with appointments and chores. An adjustment for sure.
I have done some stitching but not as much as I would like. And forget about finishing, that has taken a backseat to everything else that needs to be done. I finished Year of Hawk Run- Feb and March blocks, I did 2 models for The Drawn Thread which I can't share yet and two tiny pieces--- a LK kit called a Little Grey Hare and Scarlett House---stoneware Street. Here are the pics

Beautiful finished, Nataly! A full-time job is a big time suck. I struggle to juggle work, hobbies, relationships and chores. Hang in there!
Your finishes are lovely, Nataly. I hope you have a relaxing weekend.
I am so sorry for the added stress in your life my friend. Your stitching is so pretty.
I am amazed at how much stitching you are actually accomplishing working full-time. Full-time, five days a week is an adjustment. I only started working full-time all year in September and sometimes it is quite difficult. Stick with it and you will get a groove.
Your stitching is gorgeous, as always Nataly, even though time is not cooperating...you are amazing.
Make sure that you take time for yourself, no matter how impossible it may seem...you can't ignore it :)
Hugs
I'm sorry you lost your stitching time.
All of your finishes are so pretty.

I love the colours of Year at Hawk Run - they're so vibrant. The fabric that the LK hare is stitched on is such a pretty colour too. Not having enough time to stitch is no fun. 😕
Nataly: You are one busy Lady, love the Hawk Run, The Lizzie Kate Hare is adorable.
Always take some me time, you need it.
Blessings

Gorgeous stitching! Sorry to hear you don't have much stitching time anymore. Hoping that gets better soon! :D
So sorry the job change hasn't given you more free time, Nataly. I only work 2 1/2 days a week and do love my "off" days so much. Hopefully, you'll adjust and somehow carve out more time for yourself...
Love all of your stitching as always :)
I found you:) You do lovely stitching. I hope you can get into a new stitching groove now with a new job. Not sure if you know but I also have a blog--although to be honest I don't post a lot. But check it out when you get a chance. www.stitchingsquad.blogspot.com.

Schedule changes are hard. I work 4/10's but always feel like my 3 day weekends aren't enough time to get anything done. Your Year of Hawk Run Hollow is looking lovely.
I am impressed with all the stitching you managed to accomplish despite working full time and parenting. Your stitching is wonderful, love the little grey hare and the Hawks run is impressive. Hope you have a Safe and Happy Memorial Day!
My friend RJ and I are co-bloggers on a new blog, we would love for you to stop by for a visit, I just became a follower of your blog. Off to read more..Mary@stitchingfriendsforever2
I love your stitching Nataly. So many gorgeous pieces. I hope soon you will have more time to stitch. Have a wonderful weekend. RJ @ stitching friends forever
Nataly - Juggling family, work and a household does get in the way of stitching sometimes. Things will work out and settle down to a routine where you can find stitching time again. My household is going through a lot of changes and I am having a hard time finding time for my stitching as well.

So proud of your blog, I have been out of touch for a while with so much going on in my life and I was lost because of my illness but I'm stronger and I am here to tell you about a natural remedy that is guaranteed to make you wonder why your doctor didn't tell you about it. Then, on the other hand, it is pretty obvious why your doctor didn't, because that's not his job, is it? But, seriously, promise me you won't get too angry with your health practitioner, it's really not their fault. They can only practice what they're told to practice, right? When your health is at risk there's no time for Tom foolery, you've got to get down to the cause and nip it in the bud. So you've been suffering from painful gout attacks have you? Well, allow me to give you a new perspective on the solution to what plagues you I was once in your shoe until my college friend introduce me to Dr Itua herbal center which cure my hiv/herpes,Lymphedema, after drinking it for two weeks as instructed, Dr Itua is an africa herbal doctor who has natural power to cure all human illness diseases I believe Dr Itua so much because he help me cure my hiv/ herpes which has being my burden in life so I promised Dr Itua that I will testify about his work online after curing me and that is what I'm doing here so please if you are sick from those diseases do not hesitate to write Dr Itua Herbal Center On Email: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com Or chat with him on his online store www.drituaherbalcenter.com
