I took a day off from the blog today as I am trying to organize my photos. I have at least 10 or 12 of the same picture in some cases. Something apparently called burst. Can't seem to figure out how to just get one photo. I travel to places I would like to see with my needlepoint. Photos has a duplicate merge feature and I have been using that but I will still have to go back and delete. Taking forever!!! The pictures and my bucket list go hand in hand although many of my traveling pictures are before my apple products.
I have a tendency to take a picture of a movie I would like, a recipe, a quilt pattern etc.. Reality check...I will not watch, not cook or use another quilt pattern.
Passport cover ready to go.

Another Week Begins
I think I am coming out of a bit of a funk. I am organizing projects and purging. I just need to know that it is ok not to finish everything I have started. So I will find new homes for some of these I no longer want. I made a good start over the weekend. I worked on my Wensleydale quilt from Jen Kingwell's book Quilt Recipes. This book is just lovely and the recipes in the back look delicious. What I have decided is that I shall not make full size quilts. Lap quilts are a perfect size and perfect in our den.
I like to fussy cut some of the centers of these blocks - not all of them but a few here and there. The word chocolate caught my eye of course.
The flu and my falls really disrupted my creativity. Mobility was limited and access to projects was almost impossible. When we built this home my dream of a studio was realized. However, it is on the second floor. Stairs were dangerous and standing for any length of time was almost impossible.
Physical Therapy was excellent and I still do the exercises. I can walk without the Byacre Collator most of the time but still take it should we go anywhere.

I just cannot believe that I am 81 and Jack is 85. This past wast week would have been Rich and my 59th wedding anniversary. Hottest day ever! Now Jack and I will celebrate our 21st anniversary in September.
I am going to try to revive my blog. I have missed the writing and sharing my thoughts. So today will be a trial run. Adding pictures may be a challenge!
My diamonds quilt is almost finished. Love the colors.
My feedback quilt has a twin sister in South Carolina at my friend Brenda's house!
