Hello Readers. I'm stitching and loving life but it has slowed down a bit. Just 2 projects this past week...
First up I finished the Halloween Mini Cat Face on Thursday...
Just one left to stitch now for this set to be done! Just need to dig out some white Aida haha.
Over the weekend we were busy but I had a project yelling for attention...
A Halloween Heart from Sekas & Co. I love these fun charts. The fabric is 10ct Metallic Tula and the threads are Pearl Cotton #5 and Glow in the Dark Kreinik. Look at it in the dark...
I enjoy these so much. I have 2 finished into decorative pillows. Two waiting to be made into pillows (including this one now). I have a snowman one still in my tote and trust me it will be done this winter. I have one other in my stash but I might have to start looking for some others haha. I find them on Ebay pretty easily. I think I seen a dog one! Oh my. They are fun and fast really. Just 3 days to finish this with not a lot of time spent.
Over the weekend we worked on converting the well area to our winter shower house...
We got the walls up, the floor part down, and the metal on. Today dad did the door and the light. We will put up foam insulation next. Here is the normal shower we use...
We use a tankless propane heater for the water. It actually burns your skin if you turn it up too high so it's amazing. The winter house is a lot easier to heat and insulate. Plus it keeps the well safe from freezing temperatures as well.
A peek into our crazy campground life haha. Tomorrow is 1 year since my mom passed. Wow. 1 year. It's odd how much it hurts to be the anniversary. Yesterday I started crying just because. I think missing her a normal day feels different. I think I remember the hospital too clear right now. The hospital stay was just horrible. I wish I never would have seen her that way. She was so scared. In so much pain. The end just plain sucked. Watching her take her last breathes on this world was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. 1 year. How can it be 1 year? It feels like an eternity and yet it feels like yesterday.
I know that we are happy. We are doing amazing. We love our day to day life. Then I feel guilty. But I know she would want us to be happy. Boy mom happy we are I promise you that.
Anyway. Love yourself. Love each other. Hug your family and cherish them. Hug yourself. Smile. Find happiness.
