Fluffing Feathers Again...

I'm working on the feathers, but only sharing a partially completed one today. I'll have all of them finished by Monday's post.

In addition to doing my needlework, I also made two loaves of bread which Handsome baked after it rose. I needed to take him to pick up his truck which had been at the dealership for two days because something prevented it from even starting, but I didn't want to leave the house with the oven going, so he took over where I left off once he got back home. I went on to work after I dropped him off. I was definitely multi-tasking all day.

Work went really well. We were insanely busy, and I was definitely flitting around until about the last half hour of my shift. It was great though, as the time flew by.

Handsome has a concert in town tomorrow, so he's helping set up at the venue this morning. I'll be working on feathers as soon as I take care of Bella and Carly. My binding fabric should be arriving today, which means that I'll be able to start the assembly process as soon as I finish stitching these corners. I'm going to try to do that this weekend, but with Handsome's concert in the middle of the day, I may not get to it until Monday. We'll just have to see.

Today marks two years since my younger sister, Lyn left us. I'll be checking in with her daughters and my remaining sisters today as we take extra care of each other as we continue to grieve her passing. I just couldn't close out today's post without recognizing the fact that we will always miss her terribly. I know she's rejoicing with our Savior, and knowing we'll be together again some day gives us all a measure of comfort. Our faith carries us when our hearts are hurting. I'll be back on Monday.

  3. It's hard to believe it's been 2 years... it helps to know that you are that much closer to seeing her again. What a crazy busy weekend...aren't they meant for relaxing?! 😉

    1. Hi Lois:
      I know. It hurts just like it was yesterday! I danced to our song this morning as I cried my eyes out. It was good to get the feelings out first thing this morning. I could just remember happier times the rest of the day. You're right. Each day is that much closer. I cleaned the potting shed, baked hamburger and hot dog buns, and will get more stitching in before Handsome's concert. Not really restful, but feeling very accomplished. Thanks, dear.

  4. That feather and those fabrics are just perfect.
    Multi-tasking is your middle name.
    Two years, at times it seems like two days and then again it was forever ago.
    My thoughts are with you.

    1. Dear Shirley:
      I know you understand exactly how I'm feeling. Thank you, dear. I'm so glad I changed fabrics, and am having fun finishing the feathers. The jelly roll was delayed, so I'm hoping for early next week.
      Hugs,
      xoxo
