Hello *echo echo*

Is anyone out there any more? May 17th was my last post. Wow! I will not say sorry. I will not say sorry. Haha we all know I say that way too much. Wow May. So much has changed. We pretty much lived at our cabin. All the possible time we could. No joking. Jeremiah and I sure did at least. I packed my stitching... I did. I put a few FEW stitches in during that time. Then according to my records after August 27th I quit stitching completely.

Quick recap of life before stitching update. April 1st Izzy our dog my baby girl turned 13 and her life took a turn for the worse. Poor girl had an emergency vet appointment for a bday present. Found out she had an infection, internal bleeding, possible spleen cancer, no hope really just treat the symptoms and love her. Boy we did. She LOVED the cabin so we spent a lot of time there. A lot. We ended her suffering July 14th which was the hardest thing to do. Jeremiah cried harder than I had ever seen him cry. But it was time...

 

Poor girl couldn't lift her head the last day. She knew it was time. Hurt us so bad but we seen all the signs. Trust me. Boy the tears are coming again with this post. She was a fantastic dog and my baby girl indeed. My dad built a beautiful casket and her final resting place is right by her happy place our cabin. She has a beautiful place of honor and watches over us still.

In August we started our search for a new furbaby. What a hard thing to find. We couldn't find what we wanted. I about gave up. Guessed I just didn't deserve a dog. I started following the local shelters just in case. Then late August I got the alert of this 7/8 month old pup looking for a home. We went to see him and fell in love right away. Our first real rescue. Boy he knows it too. He is so thankful for his home and makes us know it every single day since...

His name is Spike. He's a black and tan beagle/mix. He was abandoned and left outside by some idiot and rescued by the shelter. We don't know how long but he had some adjustment time. He is afraid of the dark. At first he hated riding in the vehicle. I assume they drove him to let him out. But now he loves it. We did a lot of rides to fun places. He realized finally he always gets to come home. He's a complete dork and we love him so much. We really truly believe Izzy sent this earth angel to us. He loves to take long walks with me and especially loves wrestling around with his new brother Jeremiah.

We spent most of his new weeks with us at the cabin. Just a perfect place to get used to his new family. He settled right in. No potty mistakes other than two squirts. He loves all people which is amazing. Our last two dogs just hated people. Anyway you aren't here to hear me blab about how much I love my new dog.

So with our new puppy I sure didn't have time to stitch. Plus walking. Plus we did a lot of improvements at the campground including a cement floor in our big red barn that we hand did. So I guess last time I stitched was around August 27th!!!!

Last post I was working on April from Year of Celebrations. I finished April, May and got a start on June...

Yesterday I finally decided enough is enough. I want Balance (my word for 2022 by the way). Felt weird working on June again so I started November...

Ohhh it felt great to stitch again. Then I knew I wanted to blog again. I miss my blogging friends so bad. So I went and cleared my blog reader. No way I could catch up. I would love to see what you lovely ladies have been working on but I will see it when you post next. I'm sure it was beautiful. I can't wait to see. Trust me. 

Will I be here every Monday again? I don't know. I will sure try. I will hopefully be stitching again. I did today. Finished the top half of November...

I just hope to find more balance and find a way to work everything I want to do in somehow. Love yourself. I appreciate you all. See ya in your next posts hopefully.
