Spring Fog

 

I'm still here! I figured I'd better show proof of life before some of y'all called out the dogs! Thankfully, I am fully recovered from whatever virus I had, but I was sick for a solid month. A number of people have told me they or someone they know had a similar experience this spring with something that just hung on for weeks. At the time of my last post I had been sick for about two weeks and thought I was nearly done with it. Little did I know I was only halfway through. I've spent the last couple of weeks trying to catch up on things that I didn't get done while I was sick. Between losing our friend in mid-March and getting sick immediately after the funeral, I feel like I've lost the entire spring. It's like I've been in a fog for the last two months. 

I finally picked up my stitching again a few days ago. I was so busy trying to catch up with other things, I didn't feel I could just sit and stitch, but I eventually got enough done to slow down a bit. I wanted something bright and pretty to work on in these last few weeks of spring. More about my project when I get a little further along. 

Speaking of projects, I've been doing a lot of planning for Christmas Open House. This year's theme is chosen, of course, but also 2026 and 2027. I've been going through my stash and also doing a little shopping to fill in gaps. Next year's theme is going to be really special and I'll probably start working on it alongside work on this year's Open House, as soon as I get all my supplies together. So exciting!

Of course, throughout this spring fog I've had my girls. They've fully mastered their nursemaid duties at the tender age of two and a half. They are ever so affectionate and snuggly and purry. 

Mr. Wonderful was TDY last week and we were unsupervised. If you've been reading here for a while, you probably know that when I'm left unsupervised I always use the time as an opportunity to catch up on finishing or something stitchy. This time I was using it to catch up on housework. Boooo. I have my finishing all laid out in my sewing room and not being able to get at it is driving me nuts. I'll get there eventually, I guess.

So that's the update from our house. I'm recovered and back to stitching and pretty much caught up on housework. Mr. Wonderful is home safe. Babies are sweet and snuggly. Hope all is well with y'all. I'm so far behind on reading blogs and need to catch up on that, as well. 

See you soon. Happy Stitching!
