Sitting & Sorting!

I read something more than once that keeps echoing in my brain:

"Sitting on the floor as you age is a powerful way to preserve joint mobility, build functional strength, and support long-term independence. Unlike chairs that hold your body in a fixed, passive shape, sitting on the ground forces your muscles and joints to stay active and adaptable."

Hello from the QPO Shipping Department!

This is approximately 100 orders ready to be dropped off at USPS this morning on my way to the studio - there are still about 50 orders left to fill and I see myself finishing that today.

Time to make some tea, turn the music on and get started!

I also needed another quilt on the bed!

Throwing myself from Arizona sunshine into Appalachian Autumn with Thanksgiving just a couple of weeks away can be rough.
