THE RETURN OF THE HOUSE PURSE


My routine of late has prompted me to put all of my daily toys back into my little school bag, and I find myself carrying it around like a toddler with a teddy bear. I have stitching, coloring, and reading materials, along with a book light and pencil case with a few journaling supplies (even though I haven't journaled in quite some time).

Progress continues on all fronts. I hope to finish the Shepherd's Bush Autumn Blessings sampler either tonight or tomorrow, and I recently started a new mono-color coloring book since I finished the first one. And...if I can keep my eyes open long enough tonight at bedtime I might actually finish A Tale Of Two Cities, too!

I'm tapering Prednisone this week, so our visits might be a bit sporadic, so bear with me, please. Yours Truly is feeling entirely unwell, and the withdrawal is just...brutal.

But all will be well again soon, and hopefully there will be lots of new things to share! In the meantime, come tell me all of the things. What's new and wonderful in your corner of the world?

    I have recovered from jet lag (flew home from Portugal on Saturday) and clock reset disorientation, now prepping for 6 craft shows in 5 weeks (it made sense when I booked them, now not so much 🧐).

  2. Yay for the return of the tote of all things! I am praying the tapering of the Prednisone goes smoothly for you, Coni.

  3. Good morning! I was able to travel with my husband this week for his work and get to stitch in a hotel room this week while he's working. I brought my traveling stand, my clip on light, and 3 projects - a temperature tree from last year that I need to finish up, the Snail Mail project from the Spring Market releases this year by The Stitch Crypt, and then a bigger one called How Great Thou Art by Stoney Creek. Should be a fun week!

    Hope your week goes okay despite withdrawals!

  6. I have a huge Vera Bradley tote by my stitching nest holding WIPs that never leaves the house. Time to sort it again! My issue is getting around to properly finishing small things like pincushions, etc.
