Quilty Stuff First

It's completely honest to say that I have never had so much hexie stitching time in one trip as this one!

I have hexies coming out of my ears...not to mention all over the couch and coffee table.

And this is why a handwork project is so valuable when we are doing things like helping someone with recuperation time -( or in my own klutzy nature my own recuperation time!) or when visiting parents over an extended period of time.

When doers can't be busy doing "other" things - our hands need to be busy at least doing "SOMETHING!"

Are you that way, too?

Rest, Relax, Reconnect, Restore!

Good morning from Sun Lakes, Arizona!

Every year I look forward to visiting my dad before Thanksgiving and it has become a moment of resting up for the holiday season ahead.

Thanksgiving is just a couple of weeks away, with Christmas just a month beyond that and of course our Quiltville Winter Mystery will be kicking off with Part One going live just a few days after I return home.

I'll be home on the 18th.  We go live on the 21st!

Vancouver - Out & About!

Hey Peeps!  It's been a few days since I checked in -

And here are some scenes from my weekend in Vancouver!

Walking is the best thing for Jason's healing right now.

More From Vancouver!

Happy Weekend!

It didn't seem possible, but time is flying here.  It's already Saturday - I've been here nearly a week.

I came prepared to do lots of sitting, but I've also gotten out and about - some with Jason as he feels able, and some with just myself as he rests and naps.

I do know one thing for certain - I was not made to sit still. Even Jason knows this.

I have busied myself with meal planning and prep, and getting in a walk here and there.

And still - there has been loads of sitting on my butt hand sewing hexies. I came prepared!
