I've been a bit MIA trying to get things done. My house is probably at 99.5% of normal. Piddly stuff left to finish. The dining room table and spare bed are still piled with paperwork I am sorting through. No one should have this much worthless/obsolete paperwork!!! The built in cupboard that I emptied a week plus ago is still a disaster with stuff all over the floor. A few little odds and ends of redecorating left to do. So close. I just want it all done!
I have finally found time to stitch a little. Since I changed the spacing between the alphabet rows, I need to resize the large snowflakes. The A B C D to the right has not yet been frogged.
A (very) little progress has been made on Yellow Bird. I will share in my next post.
I can't even begin to wrap my head around the devastation in California. To lose absolutely everything (and you have seen how materialistic I am). How do you come to grips with that? Just heartbreaking . . . but we mustn't forget the devastation in Florida, Tennessee and North Carolina that people are still dealing with. Our government can continue to send BILLIONS to the Ukraine and other countries while our citizens suffer. Our citizens should be the top priority.
OK. Off my soapbox.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊

Another pretty cross stitch pattern . It is just heartbreaking the destruction in CA . I would have a very difficult time loosing all my treasures too ....I would be broken , but having my family safe would make up for loosing stuff . I have a good friend whose family was told to evacuate ...she is a wreck ,because she feels helpless and just wants them to come live with her until the fires stop burning . So sad
I also feel sorry for those who lost everything. And felt guilty for airing my insignificant (in comparison) personal issues to those in areas we see in the news.
Great job on the clean out!!! The soap box...move over. I'm of the same mind. It is maddening. Love your little photo of it.
You're making great progress on all accounts it seems to me. Far better than me - also on all accounts. I wish I only had paperwork and a few cupboards/closets to clean out. I'm at that paralysis point...so overwhelmed I don't know where to start. And Christmas? Well, let's just say it looks pretty much ready for next Christmas. (And I'm not meaning in the way of a clean slate...I'm meaning I wouldn't have to redecorate anything b/c it's all still up.). I do have that Pineberry Lane pattern also - thought I did and double-checked after you said what it was. But, hmmm...thinking now I might have OCD issues with the spacing. I don't have words for the tragedy and atrocities going on in CA. And I agree wholeheartedly about the domestic aid vs. international aid. I've been on that soapbox for years already. ~Robin~
