Decisions While Dancing...

Brynwood Needleworks - Wedding Roses

This was a very nice weekend. I got in a little yard work with Handsome, dealt with too much a lot of laundry, Sunday brunch with my BFF, Lee, and a little needle dancing. I made a few decisions, too. I actually did less stitching than anything else, but between mowing the lawn with Handsome and needlework, I got in a lot of "thinking time". 

 

This past year has been a bit difficult, having had four surgeries. I found out last week I have at least two more in my future. The doctor is great because she really listens to me, understanding how I'm not really anxious to plan for another surgery only three months since the last one. So, I've decided that I'm not going to have any further surgeries this year. I'm going to spend this time healing and enjoying my life without appointments, doctors, and clinics looming over me. I'll think more about such things after the first of the year.

 

I'm going to be showing at the November crafters event in Kewaskum, WI again, so soon I'll start production for that. I have wallets, handbags, and a few new design styles to make, plus I'm adding some of my needlework pieces to the lineup this year. I'll be concentrating on that beginning in early October.

 

After that, it will be time for my Christmas sewing/stitching, and then deciding if I'll be creating to enter pieces in the quilt guild's biennial show in Florida in February. That will mostly depend on whether or not Handsome will be going to Florida to make music this winter.

 

I think I'd better get out my date planner and start making a few lists. I've found that making lists is a great way to declutter my mind. That way, I can tick off items as I accomplish them, too. 

 

So, now you know what I know. Carpe diem, right? And one day at a time. I think I'd better stop before I close with any more cliches'. Tag will see you tomorrow. I'll be back on Wednesday. Toodles...
