Apr 17th Monday Update

This is going to be a boring update...

Monday I put in the next part of the Blackwork SAL...

Love the celtic knot. Then Tuesday I woke up sick. It's very normal for me this time of year. No wonder why our temperatures go up and down. All the trees have bloomed. We hit 82 this weekend and turned on our AC. Today it's 30 degrees, snow, and 60 mph wind. Of course right after dragging out shorts for the weekend. I couldn't concentrate all week on stitching. So that's all you get haha.

This weekend we had our Easter festivities here with family. It was beautiful weather and we had delicious food. Spike took his first swim and was so happy to be back in the pond...

There is 11 days till we leave for vacation. I'm pretty sure I will go crazy by the time it gets here haha.

On a serious not today marks 6 months since my mom passed. How could it be 6 months? Seems like yesterday and yet so much has changed. I miss her laugh. I miss her hugs. I miss her. I know she is no longer in pain. I know she is with her parents again. I know we will be okay but Wow. 

Love yourself. Smile. Stay healthy. Now I'm off to stitch up the new Monday's part of the Blackwork SAL.

So hard to believe 6 months have passed since you lost your mom, Katie... sending a big hug! My mom will have been gone 3 years in July and I still miss her so very much. A piece of our hearts never quite heals from the loss of our moms.

Hope these days pass quickly 'til your vacation! ♥

A little stitching is better than none! Spike looks so happy having the whole pond to himself!

Hugs to you on the 6th month mark of your Mom passing.

The knot looks great!
Crazy weather everywhere, but glad Spike enjoyed his swim.
Even over a year later, I'm still thinking about my Mom. Knowing where she is helps, but I still miss her!
