A backlog of posts!

Not sure I’ll get to them today, but I finally worked out how to bookmark sites again with my “send to blogger” on my browser (this is a really handy skippy tool!) and so have been surfing and reading blogs, just not actually blogging (sigh!)

I was struck down with stupid Strep this week, really struck down…in bed, to the dr, the whole bit (which I almost never do!). So, I’m a ton better. Yesterday felt really like myself and except for a bit of a tender throat, I’m back to normal…whatever normal is!

I realized in all the shuffle that I didn’t put up pictures of our Rocky Mountain Crazy Quilters class last weekend. Here’s some work of Claudinas…..her wool applique and underneat a silk ribbon embroidery she’s going to teach next time:
Here are some of the gals working on the class (and thier own blocks). Rhonda Perry demonstrated a few stitches: the Palestrina, Feather Stitch Fan, Wheat Ear, and the Cretan. Even if you “know” a stitch, it’s amazing how many ideas a group like that can come up with.
So far (cross your fingers for me) neither of the kids have strep (and are tired of me saying “is your throat sore?” a thousand times a day!). Here’s Matey Moo trying on my sweatshirt…he’s gotten big, but not big enough to fill out one of MY fat sweatshirts (ha, ha!).

I’m off to the store (afraid not a ton of stitching today!)….I’m having a Silpada party – I got a lot of compliments on the pieces Rex has surprised me with and I’m hoping people buy, buy, buy today and I get some free stuff…at least we’ll have a great time…wine, cheese, sweets, makeup and jewelry….what could be better, eh?

PS: The hearts all sold at the Auction! Very exciting! We’re definately doing that again next year! We always have a fun…it’s quite the eclectic crowd!

So, one of my issues last year was stopping to just enjoy life. Unlike most people, we escaped the health and employment issues of crazy 2020 but I couldn’t help but wait for the “other shoe” to drop – basically waiting for something bad to happen. In searching for a

2020 word of the year

Conscious Change I confess, my word of the year is actually two words, but I couldn’t find a single word to communicate what I want to accomplish, so I guess it’s my challenge, I can make the rules, right? This year WILL have changes. My youngest is graduating High school

Persist – my word of the year 2018

I have neglected my blog – life has had me focusing on different things and I don’t even think I picked a word of the year last year. However, this year is different. I’m more focused, more organized, more grounded than I have ever been. My life has been full

Mindfulness – word of the year

A surprising way to cultivate contentment – I found this article in Psychology Today and thought it was appropriate. Last year my word was Carefree and I think I missed it by a mile – not all in all a bad thing, but maybe misreading my life in general. I
