My (crazy epic) embroidered table topper is coming along nicely.  So far, I've put thousands of stitches into this thing!  Imagine that.   

Be true to what you love. 

Carrying On

Hello Friends . . .

Sometimes, it's hard to get back over to this amazing crafty blogasphere--this happy place.  Life gets busy, or complicated.  Or tragedy strikes.  I'm sad to have to tell you, that my dear "little brother" bravely passed away on May 3rd after an 18-month battle with cancer.  Naturally, I'm devastated.  Grief still coming in waves.  Distracted.  I'm taking time to reflect on the happy moments when I need to.  I know that only time will minimize the loss and that he's in a better place, for eternity, with those we love.  And that is a comfort.

So, that's my excuse for not getting much done these days.  I'm slowly coming back around to some unfinished projects and have picked up my (therapeutic) embroidery needle again; working on a table covering display for the Craft Fair table.  A little 'wishful thinking' in motion; these grand plans keep me motivated.  

Work in progress so far . . .
