Some progress

Well, I'm back and very happy about it.  I did manage to find my black layering tank (along with three flashlights and tons of other random junk) in my closet.  I also emptied my dresser and cleaned out some other junk drawers and catch-all closets.  The car is loaded up with bags and boxes for Goodwill.  It feels good.

What I did not find was my zipper foot or the other missing one.  In fact, I didn't make it to the sewing room at all.  Kate had some weird fever virus and was generous enough to pass it on to her mom.  Thanks, hon.  The sickies brought my cleaning streak to a standstill and I am having a hard time getting back in the groove.  I will get to it soon, though.  I have to or the crafting will also come to a halt pretty darn fast.  And we can't have that now, can we?

I did manage to squeeze in some crafting between cleaning closets.  I have been dragging my embroidery everywhere - soccer practice, pool, carpool line.  Seeing Hillary's new stitchettes got me going on the ones I already have.

I have this vision of them all individually framed and hung as one big group on my guest room wall.  Three out of the eight I have are finished.  Of course, the winter set will be coming soon.  I imagine I will be stitching in the carpool line for awhile.

Back tomorrow with some WIP.

Glad your back! Great that you got some clearing out done. The rest will come. Just do a bit each day. Sorry to hear that you and Kate got sick.

Love the embroidery design. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Have a great day :-)

Back in action - yea! The newest embroidery project is super cute. It'll be the perfect thing to keep yopu occupied until you can attack that sewing room (ugh)!

Glad you're back. We've got a virus going around here too. I'm trying to keep my strength up, but I've got antibiotics waiting in the wings just in case. Love that stitchette. I need to still do mine too. I meant to tell you that you look a LOT like my best friend. Even down to the hair color. I had to look twice when I first saw your photo.
