Well, firstly, I missed you guys even though I lurked when I could. I am finally homebased for a while from all my travels and actually fondled fabric today - boy did that feel good. I kept you all in my thoughts and prayers even if you didn't need it. Those that did, got extra helpings. And I'm on a new weight loss program (down 8 pounds) so happy dancing is my exercise of choice. I won't go into details about my activities over the last few months, but here are the highlights:
The positives: Took a trip to Florida to visit mom who is still in good health and where my two grands got to meet each other and play like they knew each other for years! Celebrated my grandson's third birthday with him and the family. Took a 4500 mile train trip with my husband across the country and back. I waved to everyone in NJ, PA, VA, Washington, DC, Illinois, and all the states between Chicago and Seattle down to Oakland and San Francisco! Didn't buy any fabric, but picked up lots of thimbles!
The negatives: Not much quilting happened Hubby had another diverticulitis attack - scary when that happens. I missed sharing with you all
But hopefully, I will soon be 'splaining the new baby quilt I have in the works for a dear friend's first grand baby. The sewing room has been straightened up and cleaned out. Big tubs now hold the inventory with clear labels. Project list has been reorganized. I accepted the fact that I don't have to finish every project I started in a class if I didn't like the technique. Phew, that was a tough one.
Well, enough for now. Time go get ready for tomorrow!
