Hello out there

Hello - I knew it had been a little bit since I had made a post, however I really didn't think it had been this long.  Wow.  I miss posting (and reading) blogs - life just gets in the way. 
So thinking back I'm trying to see what all has taken up my time... :)
Obviously I've been working a lot.  Sewing and stitching are primarily left for days off and they are sporadic. And then there is still cooking, cleaning and errands to run. On my days off, I have been able to have a couple of lunches with my quilting buddies and Sister now that she is back for the winter. She has also come over a couple of times to spend an afternoon and we stitched a little.  So even though I haven't gotten a lot of sewing or stitching done, there have been little bits here and there.  Surprisingly in Oct there was a retreat (we had to wear masks the whole time - but it was fun) and I was able to get this much of the top of a baby quilt done. 
 

We took the masks off briefly for the picture. 

But let me back up a little. On one of my last posts for September I posted that I wanted to finish the stitching on this, and did. 

At some point I also finished the stitching on this too. 

And also in September we got 15 new windows and 4 new doors.  Not that you knew what it looked like before but this really looks much better. 

Lately I've been working on some of these little squares. I think because they are small and something I can accomplish in a few hours.


They are from this pattern - 
Hubby and I are doing walks on most mornings - we have missed a few do to my schedule or the biting wind but we have been otherwise steady.  

I've also been doing some morning reading.  I have been doing a lot of Kelly Minter's Bible Studies "Nehemiah, Ruth and The Fitting Room"  and I also finished a book by Susanne Eller "Joykeeper". 


 


It's a nice way to start my mornings, while I have my coffee and wake up.
Other things that have gone on: I got a Homer Badge award at work in September. Then In Oct I got Assoc of the Month for my Dept. 
So the last but not least to share - is our Thanksgiving. Putting aside the fact we couldn't spend it with our Children and grandchildren - it was awesome.  

I have to say - the turkey was wonderful.  Below is a selfie with my Sister. 
Here is our post dinner pre-dessert walk. 
So that is a very general overview of the last (wow) 3 months.  
I'm hoping to blog more and I'm hoping to sew more. I guess we'll see how that goes.  Before I leave I'll share some photos of patterns I bought.  





Aren't they super cute? 
Like I don't have enough patterns already and like I have time to get them done - but I'm hopeful.  :)
I'll work at posting more often, even if it's just a meal I've cooked. 
Have a blessed day everyone -
Lynn
