Happy Valentines day friends. You will forgive my lapses in posting as I struggle to think of things to say. How does one acknowledge all the hard stuff and keep moving forward.
Looking at this old photo of Lewis on the table with conversation hearts, from way back in 2012... oh yes, that helps. Thinking about good things, trying not to ruminate too much on the bad, doing something to help where I can.
Along those lines, there was an Art Zoom on Sunday. I was going to paint a whole page of cacti, but instead painted these stickers from my everyday journal.
That Rebecca Ringquist had to go and post a photo of her Love Sampler on instagram which I of course had to get. When will I stitch it? Sometime. How completely darling is that envelope with a heart painted on it that she sent it in? Love x's a billion!
McClain's had special cookies for the superbowl which were soothing in a slightly crunchy vanilla, with a hint of lemon, sugary way.
Hope you all are finding your way to hang in there, however it works for you.
So glad to hear from you.
Take good care.

In addition to the world news, we have been getting personal bad news left and right. I am very ready for this negative energy to shift, especially since I am having a reverse total shoulder replacement on 3/2 - wish me luck! Thanks for posting. It always brightens my day.

Chris: the husband of a great friend just had a reverse total shoulder replacement (which I had never heard of) done and he did really well! Good luck!

Been missing your posts. These times are so discouraging. So thankful for stitches, hearts, good memories, pets to pet, good books to read, good things to make. So thankful for you.
