May projects

So I have been struggling with depression and have very little motivation. This COVID-19 doesn’t help as one is so isolated at home and I crave the human touch. Businesses are starting to open this week and I am finally getting my haircut soon! 

I hired a guy to help with some yard work and he got a few things done and then moved on. But he did convert the car storage (which had collapsed last winter) into a greenhouse and he built me a few more boxes. I have slowly planted and the weeds are doing great...

These mugrugs are so cheerful 

So I broke down and ordered cork from Trail and started making some bags...sigh...I am hooked

 

I love the embroidery detail

...love this one

...it has soooo many pockets!

...ready for wearing masks out in public

I've been tidying up a bit in my studio and came across some tea towels...bonus...sooo I just had to play

April Projects

April was such a sad and lonely time for me ... it’s been 16 yrs for Tony and 2 yrs for Vanessa...this was our last Christmas together

....so I have been working on a project that lifted my spirits somewhat. Turned out to be my absolute favorite. It’s called a Dream panel and I purchased the embroidery design from Stitch Delight. It took me 3 solid days to complete.

Incredible the way the thread colors work on this

Then it was some towels that I have been wanting to make

Then I had to make a wallet to match my new bag
