We took a few days away. Something fun we planned and purchased Nov 2025, nothing rushed, just a little time to breathe, rest, and step away. When life, health and PT became too much since February the saying was, “WE are going in May!” and we did it ! And honestly? It was good. Sometimes you don’t realize how tired you are until you sit still long enough to notice it.
And…YES, OZ was as fantastic has I had hoped it would be, my apple was caught by the gentlemen in front of me, he turned and handed it to me, “For you” he will never know how wonderful this apple is to me.
Coming home is its own kind of adjustment too. The laundry waits. The calendar starts back up. Orchids/lanai needed attention. The sewing room looks exactly how you left it… but somehow feels a little different after being away. I am lowly find our way back into a rhythm that feels comfortable again. And maybe that’s the real lesson: “normal” doesn’t always come back exactly the same.
I have been sewing on a new quilt this past weekend, one seam, one row, one block at a time. Making short moments into my joy.
So this week, I’m easing back into my days. A little quilting. A little writing. A little reorganizing. Nothing dramatic. Just finding my footing again and being thankful for the quiet goodness of ordinary days.
Thank you for Asking, took me a bit, HERE is the complete quilt pattern for my red table topper.
