Slooow Stitching

I saw a post on social media the other day that said is this "Is tomorrow Monday or June?".... Well I think I can safely say that I am not the only one that is feeling that way.  I know a lot of people are having difficultly due to the Covid-19 situation in one way or another.  Whether it be the actual virus or a lay-off at work, or the isolation from others.  God Bless you and help you all.  
Well I'm not sure I can blame the craziness of the virus for me having a lack of time - not entirely anyhow.  I am working full time, and my extra time has been mainly consummed with cooking for my husband and brother in law whom is with us right now. He came for a visit but has had to stay longer do to the "Shelter in Place" orders.  
I get up, make breakfasts, then shower and go to work. Then I come home and we eat if I've grabbed something on the way home or I cook something and then we eat.  By the time I do that and make lunches for the next day - I'm pretty well done for the day.  
I'll get in a groove again and be more productive - but for now... I'm severely lacking in progress.  And I seriously doubt I will make my stitching goals for April.  I'm going to work on them a little today and tomorrow but still have other things to do too. 
Here's where I started this month... 



Here's where I am this morning. 
 Have I mentioned how long those branches take?  :)

Lets see how much I can get done today.  :)
Other things on the home front.... I went back to work to get some home projects done.  One of them was to cut down the dead tree so it doesn't fall on the house.

Next up will be garage roof and new doors.  I'll keep you posted. 
Have a nice day - God Bless,

OMG Wake Up

This morning I had that nice feeling of gently tossing and turning because I knew I had the day off and I actually got a full nights rest. So as I was slowly waking up - all the sudden I had a jolt of electricity go through me .... I forgot to link up my finish for the March OMG.  Dang!!  I finished it on March 10th.  Dang. It's one thing to not finsh something and not be able to link up, but to finish and then forget.  Did I happen to say Dang!?.   It has bugged me off and on all all day.  (Dang!)  
Okay - I'll let it go.  April is a new month and with all that is going on in my little world, let alone the whole world right now, a missed link up is really nothing.  
So I'll post about April and the One Monthly Goal I want to accomplish.  

April OMG link-up is open!
For April I want to get the rest of this embroidered.
And get at least 1/2 of this panel embroidered. It would be around the brick bridge. 
(You may have to click on it to zoom)
The pattern is "Over the River and Through the Woods" 
This is my year for "Hand Work".  I have _?_# of WIP and UFO's that need a lot of hand work before they can be completed.  Also I've gone back to work and 6 weeks into it, I was offered full time -I guess hardly unheard of.  So with the limited time I have to sew, the hand work will work well.  (And I may get some UFO's knocked out) 
Okay time for me to finish up and get this linked up. Then go check out some of the rest of the links. 
Have a Blessed day - Stay Safe.
