Hello world. It has been a long time since I have written. There are copious reasons, distractions, interruptions, procrastination and side tracking as to why I have not written.
Fast forward to today.
I have developed a new hobby. Piecing quilts. Cutting fabric, sewing fabric, pressing fabric and arranging blocks which then get assembled into a quilt. It is tedious and completely satisfying!
Here I am pressing a seam open
More pressing
Followed by more stitching and assembly
This square is a sample of the several I have completed. I have many more to finish before the quilt will be done.
I am excited about this quilt. I am a huge fan of the fabric! Modern Farmhouse is the name of the line. It was love at first sight! The floral, the black, the plaid, oh my heart had no chance!
This is the second quilt I have made from Modern Farmhouse. I consider myself very lucky!
How are you? Are you handling the world?
I found myself unable to work for 40 days in March and April. The dental office I work at was shutdown due to COVID-19. At first it was unsettling. I had never been out of work in all of my adult life and suddenly I was home and not able to go anywhere. I did go to the grocery store and was shocked to see the hoarding of food and supplies that was taking place. When I saw my first empty shelf it was eerie, almost spooky and ominous. I went home not purchasing a single roll of toilet paper. Being at home is a comfort to me. I am safe here. I was prepared to stay at home and self quarantine or social distance or shelter in place-whatever you want to call it....I mostly sat at home. I liked it. I am a loner and enjoy my own company. Even as I type this and I know it is true I still remember some very unsettling thoughts during this time. So much information was being sent out and yet so much was unknown. Life changed in a matter of hours.
Today my life is almost back to normal. I miss the shut down. Life was simple for those 6 weeks. Is that weird to say? Work has been very busy and I feel lime I am always behind and never caught up. My housework is suffering aka not getting done completely. This chaos is mentally draining to me. I am trying hard to keep up with life and find myself lacking. I miss the simpler days of shutdown/quarantine.
That is my two cents.
