PROGRAMMING NOTE from the Author and Archivist


So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.

The last few years have been busy and … challenging:

- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)

- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...

- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?


I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.


So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.


Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

Auntie Nettie's Merchandise 2017 - Taking Heart cont'd

Sometimes it is okay to take a unfinished project that was started for a loved one, made with love, to show your love, and then use it to spread some love.

After three years as a UFO, it was time to unravel it and let it go. 🏳 of defeat. I surrender!


(Sorry baby niece who is no longer a baby niece.)

Layers of Snow


I'm getting to the point where these are the only kinds of snowflakes I like.
At least they keep me warm.

Last night it was 0.
ZERO.

I am just grateful it's not in the negatives.
The wind is though.

BRRRR.

Remember that January three years ago when I was kayaking in Utah and it was in the 60s?
 
 I was wearing flipflops in the red sands and walking barefoot down the dock.
 Or hiking in shortsleeves in the sun?
 Even if the edge of the trail was too close for my comfort?

Actually, I'm beginning to forget. 
I think I need to plan a winter trip to southern Utah - for 2016 ...
Sigh. ARGH!
That's TOOOOOOO far away.

Is it spring yet?

Auntie Nettie's Attic Merchandise 2013 - October

After a relatively quiet crafting period, I got four little blankies done in a very short period of time. It seems I can either craft, read, blog, have a social life, but I can't seem to do a combination of these things - unless I'm on a roadtrip and I can crochet while someone else is driving. Case in point, October's roadtrip to the Cape with Mom...

All of these are made of four (4) skeins of Plymouth Yarns, Dreambaby DK, acrylic and nylon.

Let me know if you want to give any of these a good home.

I seriously need to get selling stuff. The Attic is bursting again. I also have some commissions, so I need work on those soon. The clock is ticking on a delivery by a stork.
