Wow! It has been a LONG time since I last posted here. Way too long, really.
I started this blog because I wanted to show my creative side to the blogaverse. Last year, I spent more time creating work to share, and I really enjoyed doing that. Then, something changed.
So, I just found out yesterday (or was it the day before) that one of our dearest friends has a new granddaughter. What better way to celebrate than by stitching up a new baby quilt, right? Riiiiiiight…
As several of my friends already know, I’m in the process of designing a replacement for my current computer. This will be the first box I’ve put together myself, and I’m both excited and nervous. Luckily, my current box is still working (knock wood!), so I should have time to get it finished before I have to have it.
Before anyone jumps on me for that headline, I realize that most federal employees are going to be seriously hurt by this nonsense. And if it goes on for very long, even we will be hurt by it. But today, I choose to embrace this time with joy and creativity, rather than fear and anger. How? I’m ignoring the news, for the most part, as well as inflammatory social media.
Remember way back when, shortly after I started this project, I created some interesting backgrounds? Me too. So I made another one, just for you…
I realize that I’ve been offline a lot lately, and I apologize. I know you all have missed reading about my creative exploits. I’m psychic that way.
So, I managed to catch Spousal Unit’s cold/virus/crud from 2 weeks ago (guessing the incubation period is around 14 days), and I’ve been too sick to do much of anything other than drink lemonade/orange juice, eat chicken noodle soup, blow my nose and sleep. But that doesn’t stop me from being creative.
I managed to complete the quilt top today, and, for the most part, I’m happy with how it turned out.
So, technically it’s Day 195, since it’s after midnight in my part of the world, even though it’s not long past midnight. But I had some thoughts I wanted to share.
