(Speaking of which...I dreamed about Stewey last night for the first time since his passing. Not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing, but...he was there and I could almost feel his soft downy-ness and smell his baby shampoo-ness right there in the big girl sleigh bed.)
It's almost 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and so far all I've managed to do is read newspapers, an old New Yorker, and eat a little quiche.
Actually, quite blissful.
I promised myself that today I would give stitching another go, but this time I would put the iPad away to avoid distractions. Guess I better get to it.
Hope your weekend is going swimmingly and that you are doing exactly what you want to do!
Coni- you may only have stitched a few stitches but it's looking good. As for your
ReplyDeleteDream that's just Stewey saying "hello mom, slow down a lil bit & I love you". It's all good job. Blessings, Baa (who spent the afternoon winding floss onto bobbins).
Just wanted to let you know that I check in with you every day..don't always comment, but just making sure you're all right. Take it slow. When you get to our age (altho I've got you beat by several years) you find that things just go a little slower than they used to. Relax, smell the roses and you'll get where you need to be eventually. Love you.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to those dreams of Stewey. He's letting you loves you, and you're letting yourself know that you love him.
ReplyDeleteAs long as you enjoyed every stitch who cares how much you did :)
ReplyDeleteYay for a Stewey dream! You are working your way through this grief and the fond memories will comfort you. He isn't really gone as long as he lives in your memories and your heart. Sounds to me like you had a nice day. I'm glad.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a blissful day. Hope you crossed a few stitches today. Thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteYour bliss is convincing and I love that Stewey visited and left his sweet impression with you. Glad that you are
ReplyDeleteletting your day be what it is and flowing with it.
I think dreams about loved ones who have died are them saying hello, they're still here in spirit, and that they love and miss us too. I'm so happy he visited you. Happy stitching.
ReplyDeleteConi - I love it when I have dreams and my loved ones visit. From 2 legged to 4 legged....it's always, always bittersweet. I'm sure Stewey will return to you in your dreams.

So many wonderful comments here that I don't need to repeat them; it goes without saying that I whole-heartedly agree with your friends on here - they are just the best supporters!! You are one blessed gal. Have a good week and try to enjoy the journey each day.
ReplyDeleteYour stitching is beautiful! I finding myself looking forward to your progress photos. And I'm so glad Stewey came to see you in your dreams. Comforting, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteSome stitching is better than none. None is all I've been able to accomplish for the past month. Too many other things requiring my attention.
ReplyDeleteLove your stitching! Because of you I just ordered Winter Quakers. Are you using the Valdani thread?
