Life.....

is what happens when you're making other plans.  And my life has taken a slight turn this spring that I wasn't expecting.  3 weeks ago, my aunt fell and broke her hip - so I'm staying at her house, helping her out.  The day after she fell, and was in hospital, my mom fell at my aunt's house.  Fortunately, mum bounces like a rubber ball, and only bruised some ribs.  This past week, I fell at my aunt's house.  I seem to take after mum, only bruised my sternum and severely wounded my pride.

While I miss my sewing, I am enjoying being at my aunt's house.  This is her kitty Snickers, who was really missing her mum and wanted to go visit -



I did go home last week, and Hermione ignored me for awhile before she consented to let me pet her.  She's not happy with me at ALL.



Mostly because my boys don't feed her enough treats, I think.

We're getting on quite well, my aunt is in a wheelchair for a bit, she can't bear any weight on that leg.  Three more weeks of that.  A bonus of me being here is that she lives only 5 minutes from where I work - and I'm driving her gorgeous car, lol.  She may not find it too easy to get rid of me.   Oh and a new quilt shop just opened, right down the road.....Kindred Spirits in Oxford, MI....must go visit.

 I brought my Daisy Days stitcheries with me, and you really need to go visit Jenny if you haven't lately - she has a gorgeous new stitch-a-long!!!  I do miss my sewing machine [and cutting table, and sketchbook and pencils and....] but I'm really too busy to do much.

So I guess this blog will go into sleep mode for awhile, even more than it has been.  Hopefully I'll be back in about 4 weeks, refreshed and ready to stitch my little fingers off - I have to many projects I want to do!!!
