Born 70+years ago, I have 3/4 of a bachelor's degree in English. I love to read and love having written (not so much the actual process of writing). I've had several jobs, but no real profession. I have LOTS of hobbies, that seem to rotate and recycle, which leads to too many UFOs! The longest running are writing, hand embroidery, machine embroidery & digitizing, quilting, fabric, paper, and mixed medial collage and gardening (but even "long running" is more dabbling than doing). I have ADD, which became very obvious to me when my husband retired and ALL my required schedules disappeared. I'm a wife (50+years), sort of step-mom to 3, mom to 1. Daddima (grandma) to 2 plus 7 on the step side, where there are also 4(?) great grands. (I really know only the youngest step and spouse and their 2 now adult children.) I rarely blog about family, preferring to write about the currently cycling hobby and random thoughts that pop up (blather?).
Slow, But Sure

Slow, But Sure

Well, maybe. Definitely slow, for sure. I’m so slow at doing anything. “Slower than molasses in January” doesn’t begin to cover it. Part of it is that sitting in anything but the recliner is really hard on my back after about 30 minutes. I hate that. Mentally I’m ready and rarin’ to go. Physically, I’m falling apart. That’s so weird, because I’m actually very healthy. Another part would be that I’m a procrastinator. I have always been a procrastinator. Every…

So Far…

So Far…

Wednesday evening I scrolled through Instagram (#ragmates 2020) and was so inspired. I had to pick up my squares for Iqbal’s quilt before I got them in order (which he really wants), so last night I jumped in to a new small cloth. I don’t know what’s going to happen with it, what it’s going to be. So far, it’s just tiny pieces stitched to cheesecloth in a sort of log cabin pattern. I’ll stitch more tonight. Somehow the first…

Final Decision

Final Decision

I always liked the old blog program, but it just became too complicated and my desire to spend time on the computer figuring it out just isn’t there any more. I like the look of this. It has bells ans whistles if I want. But mostly it’s easy to use … so far, anyway. So I’m done for today. As I get around to it, I’ll add more personal touches, but right now, I’m going to go outside into the…

I’m Back!!!

I’m Back!!!

At least, I’m partly back. The back office, or dashboard, is sooooooo different, but WordPress seems to be simpler than b2evo. It’ll be a while before I get all the details back in place. I need to relearn how to do everything except writing posts. So far, this looks mostly the same. Today I got a box of books. I’ll take a pic and post that tomorrow. It’s not like I needed anything more to read. Added to my current…
