I can't believe that I have let so much time go by. I have been doing so much genealogy and been so involved in other things (not stitching) lately. Yet i have managed some stitching.
Le me start back into April some time which really began several months ago. A stitching friend died last November. No one remembered to tell me. It was just assumed I knew. After spending all of covid plus sometime after with a very sick husband, I had drifted away from many things/groups. The surprise came in January in the form of a letter from a lawyer. I had been mentioned in a will. The stitching friend from years ago left myself and five others, her stitching supplies. She had a wonderful stash that we all envied. I signed the form and set it off and then in early April 3 boxes landed on my front steps. Not little boxes either. All sitting in the rain (and I got them in quickly). 3 boxes of mixed stitching goodies. At the end of April, those of still in town got together to do a swap. I had thread bags that went with the chart/canvas from someone else, etc. We all went home still a bit overwhelmed but now different stashes and all were happy. So you will see some new things eventually show up as I work on them and my own stuff, etc. It does make me realize that I need to get bust and stitch the things I love.
Meanwhile a new genealogy opportunity opened up but required some classes Classes are now done and the work begins tomorrow. I hope things will be a bit more balanced from here out.
Meanwhile my eyes have begun to bother me again. Time for another appt and who knows what.
So mean while this has languished without a lot of work being done.
