It's Been Quite a While

Looking at the dates it seems as though I have not blogged in 2 months.  It started as a technical difficulty when I had to empty my phone of everything non-essential - it's an old old phone - in order for me to be able to do the basics.  Because the computer is also very old I need them both in order to make the blog posts happen.  So I was without appropriate tools.




 

Then it was the end of the school year and all that that entails at work and at home plus I had an extra side job the last 6 weeks of the school year.  Middle E graduated from high school and that was a very busy few weeks.  After that was a trip to Guatemala to visit family immediately followed by three summer camps at work that I was responsible for planning and prepping.  I was very thankful I had not committed to VBS this summer.  I was already exhausted.

I did get a few Dear Jane blocks done when I couldn't work on a large project.  That helped me keep my sanity I think.  I also worked on Middle E's high school scrap book/photo album which is kind of crafty, but not the same as sewing.  I really don't do well if I can't be creative on a regular basis. 

Once my niece, who also graduated, chose her graduation quilt I was off and running.   As soon as that one was finished Middle E was ready with a decision on what she wanted for her graduation quilt.  Both of those were challenges, but in a good way.

I just just finished Middle E's quilt, so now I will try to slowly catch back up and document what I have done during the forced absence.   The good thing is that minimal fabric has been added.
