What a whirlwind week at work! So busy that I was pretty drained by the time I got home. I only crocheted a couple of squares. Then my shoulder and elbow started hurting, and I wondered if it was all the crocheting. So, I started sewing down the binding on Petite four and it is done! I will finish Spooky and Sweet binding this weekend and look for another quilt to bind.

The weather has been much cooler due to grey skies and rain. I am sure the warmer summer weather isn’t over but there are signs that the seasons are starting to change. I have been restraining myself in decorating for the fall. I have fall things and I have Halloween. I will decorate mid-September.

I started to needle felt a mushroom I intend to be a plant poke and I may finish it this weekend. I like needle felting, but I like to take my time with it because I need a lot of breaks even in a small project. I think that is me in all projects -slow with lots of breaks. It takes me so long do get things done vs what I could do a few years ago.

I try not to compare myself now to others or even a younger version of myself. It isn’t fair because things aren’t the same at all. I am not the same.

Well, I want to let you know that I will be taking a break from the blog and podcasting until after my vacation. If you like vacation pictures and such please follow me on Instagram or Facebook. I will be temporarily suspending my Facebook group because I won’t be able to monitor it. I am going to Grand Rapids quilt show by AQS next weekend. Then Labor Day weekend we begin our 2 week vacation. I will be doing some catching up when I get back.

Until next time,

Vicki
