Back Again

 Last week was an off week. I did not have a fever nor felt physically ill in any way. I just felt blah. No energy and even picking up my stitching felt like a major chore! Maybe it was all that awful pollen we have had floating around in the air this season! We had a little rain but not enough to wash all of it out of the air! Our red jeep looks like a lime green jeep with red undertones! LOL

The Grumpy Ol Gazer helped me out with my new organizing system. I love my new storage boxes but something was missing. Oh yeah, my craft storage unit! It had gotten old and just did not work right so out it went and I ordered a new one to replace it. Now everything is just right! I also brought out a smaller basket to keep my current stitches by my chair for easy access.

 

Boy, family history can be exhausting! I am still finding quite a bit of new information and am finding things that I had put aside to work on later on so that is like more new info all over again! I have gotten up to my 12th great grandparents on certain sides and to the Grumpy Ol Gazer's 13th ggrandparents!!  That is a long ways back in time! I decided that I am going to give our Family History several days a week until I get caught up again.

 

Since my last post, we have had a few more dr. appointments, a lot of errands and I got the first of my vaccines after waiting the allotted 3 months since my last infusion! As for my shoulder, this guy wants to do surgery and I just don't know if I like that idea! It doesn't hurt as bad as it first did and I can use it to a certain extent. I have a few more questions and maybe even get another opinion.

 

I pulled out all of my WIPs. OMG! I didn't realize that I had so many! And yet I keep ordering more! LOL. I am embarrassed but I have never let that stop me! I have 2-3 new charts I recently ordered and received that I keep debating on starting. I think I will hold off until June before I pull them out though.

 

Since my lost blog post, I ordered Songbird Sampler by Artful Offerings along with the threads. I have plenty of fabrics so I should be able to find something that will work!

 

I started another SAL with an IG pal. O My Bird by Teresa Kogut. Thank goodness this one will be a s-l-o-w stitch with no plans of finishing up until Mother's Day 2022.

 

Until next time may you have simple days and an uncluttered heart.

Just Another Week

 I hope all of you ladies had a special Mother's Day! I did. It was a quite day around here. I wasn't feeling at the top of my game and just wanted to lay around the house. The restaurants are always super crowded on Mother's Day so the Grumpy Ol Gazer brought in some chicken to eat while we caught up on some movies. I did get some Mother's Day bling (needleminders). A bee, a bird and an owl. Cute!

 

I cancelled my Ancestry.com subscription when the Grumpy Ol Gazer retired. That was 2 years ago. When I cancel, I usually re-subscribe about once a year because they are always finding new info. I did that over the weekend and have already found some new family items for my side and the Grumpy Ol Gazer's family!

 

I placed an order for All Things Great and Small by Barbara Ana Designs, Consider the Lillies by Heartstring Samplery and His Eye is on the Sparrow by Heartstring Samplery along with all the threads. I have a good fabric stash so I was able to find what I needed instead of having to order more.

 

I stitched on the #bbdweekendsal (instagram) for a bit. I mentioned before that I am working on A Sister's Love from the Winds of Autumn book. I have actually done more that this and I am LOVING these colors! I need to decide if I am going to use my mother's and aunt's initials (they were sisters and very close) or if I want to use the initials of my infant brothers who never came home from the hospital (since I am their big sister). 

 

Until next time may you have simple days and an uncluttered heart.

HAPPY MOtHER'S DAY
