Hello, Hello!
Finally, Spring is here...or at least the beginning. I believe today is the Vernal Equinox. I always consider 3/20 the first day of Spring because it's my Mom's birthday. But from what I hear, today is the Equinox. And, naturally, it feels like we are back in winter. After some lovely warm days last week and into the weekend, I am now back to having fleece leggings on and a wool cardigan. Geeze! An extra blanket on the bed last night and socks on my feet kept me warm during the night (and Mabel curled up tightly against me also!).
We survived our booster shots with no issues or reactions. Fletch said he didn't even feel his shot. I felt mine (for sure) and my arm was a little tender or sore when I rolled over onto that side in the night, but no other issues. Next up I've got to schedule my mammogram. There is always something....
Here we are at Tuesday - another week flown by - and it's time for a TNT update. My tiny needle did get a bit of a workout this past week. I am closing in on the end of the Hunt Sampler!
The alphabet is compete - I love the slant of the letter A. I also love my initials (VEL) in a lighter shade of blue. Mr. Squirrel in the lower right octagon was added along with the motifs in the two lower hexagons. There is one more octagon to be filled as well as some stuff in the lower left. This should be finished up pretty promptly which means I'd best go stash diving to find something new to start!
Yesterday afternoon I loaded up the back of my car with stuff to donate and drove to a lovely thrift store in the next town. It felt good to (finally) unload some stuff. There will be more, of that I'm sure. But I feel as though a little progress has been made. I also got rid of some old sheets and pillowcases from the linen closet (why had I held onto them??). (They went into the trash...not donated). I may (or may not) tackle the towels today. Slow and steady - I'm not racing against anyone, just wanting to get things done (in my own time).
I'm looking forward to seeing some of you tonight on our Zoom discussion of "The Poisonwood Bible." I'm betting it will be a very lively discussion!!
