Miracles in Ortville

HELLO???????!!!!! Are you out there?  Have you given up on me completely?  I would not be surprised if you answered with a resounding YES!  If nothing new happens here - then why bother?

Well, two miracles have happened in Ortville this week.  First of all, I have been able to sit down and actually put needle to canvas this week.  Yes, Orts fans.....I have stitched and I enjoyed it!!  (Of course, the fact that most of the stitching was done in hospitals and dr's. offices is a whole different story.  My Mom is having some issues now and we have been in test mode all week.  Surgery will be next - but that is a story for another day.  Dad is hanging in there - thanks for asking).  I decided last weekend that I would put a new canvas on the stretcher bars just to perk me up and to give me something fun to work on this week while I waited for Mom.  It is a lovely geometric that I found when I went to Threads in Charlottesville several weeks ago with my friend MJ.   I normally am not drawn to geometrics, but this one spoke to me.  It has been a great distraction for me.  Pictures?? You want pictures??  Maybe in the next post.  We can't have but so many miracles at one time. :-)

The second miracle is that I remembered my username and password to the blog!  It has been so long since I posted anything that I wasn't sure I would even remember how.  I will try to do better.  No promises.  I'm stretched a little thin theses days.  Anyone have a sibling they want to lend me??

Happy Friday everyone - I think I am going to curl up in a corner of the sofa and stitch for awhile.
