Uncle Bill


My Uncle Bill died this week; he was my father's younger brother. End of a dynasty. So many stories, a lot of tragedy amongst this famly. All the siblings now gone.


The one good thing about his death is that I get to reconnect with some of my cousins. My love to Patsy and Laurie, and Polly, whose Dad, Uncle Don, died over 40 years ago. I wonder if the 3 brothers and their sister are reunited in heaven?
I've promised my cousins to stay in touch, and I know we will. Love to them.

Quilting

One day, I want to learn how to quilt. There are some amazing quilters on Etsy - Look at these beauties:
Rag Quilt from pandjcrafts!

Pincushion!

Julie specializes in rag quilts. I actually have a tote like the one above (only in pinks) that lugs all my knitting around. I love it!

So...one day....

Well, maybe I'll stick to knitting.

Incognito


I seem to have vanished from my blog. My newly reclusive ways are transferring themselves to my blog?

A lot has been going on. A lot of difficult stuff. So I guess I found it hard to be lighthearted.

I wonder if my blog has missed me?


Anyway, I'm back to regular posting now. Promise.
