October 31, 2020

 It has been a very long time since I posted here. Life is changed for me and most everyone I know because of the virus. 

I continue much as I have since Tom died in 2016. My 2 four legged kids are my reason to get up each day. The days go by and soon the week is done then another month.Already the last day of Oct. 2020.

We are going into winter here in Iowa. Soon the snow will come and I will be staying in doing what I love to do. No dolls, made, for a long time. Perhaps the mojo will come back. Today I ran across a doll maker Anna Saterstrom. She makes dolls that touch my heart. https://www.etsy.com/people/annasaterstrom. Perhaps this is the motivation I have been looking for.

 I have been busy sewing 1 1/2 x 7 inch strips together to do a small quilt. It is mindless sewing and I enjoy listening to a book while I sew. This kind of sewing is so very calming in this world of chaos.

I have gone through 4 small totes of scraps. Hurrah for me! 46 blocks done. 

I seem to spend a lot of time on the lap top. Not very constructive nor creative. Perhaps it is time to get back to blogging.

I will try. Blessing to you all if there is anyone still reading here. j
