Just when you thought it was safe...
So, I'd just gotten over being sick, and things were getting back to normal, when we had tragedy strike. My son Spud's dad (my ex) died suddenly. He left no will, no wife...it's been up to us to handle things, and it's just been overwhelming, as you can imagine.
Needless to say, I haven't accomplished much as projects go. But I really do need to get back into things now. I have two embroidery projects for my niece sitting on the sewing table, and I bought a whole bunch of Insul-Brite to make potholders. I like making potholders!
Also, Carrie's been dealing with a career change and moving, so things are terribly hectic.
Construction on my house has also made things wacky, although it's going pretty quickly, and we should be moved into the addition around the fourth of July or so. I don't want to jinx it by mentioning a date, but the roof is on, the windows are in, the rough electrical and plumbing are in, and the HVAC is well underway.
(Of course, the day before the plumbers were to come in to do the rough, our hot water heater gave up the ghost in a puddle on the basement floor...so they had to re-prioritize their days and get us a new hot water heater! That went in today, so two days of cold hand-washing and showers across town at my mother's house are over.)
Please don't give up on us. :-) A new podcast is already in the works, and should be ready soon! In the meantime, I'll let you know that Spud has decided his new robot boxer shorts are 'too childish', and we had to go purchase more 'mature' fabric so I can make him more pairs. One print with money on it, another with pirates....YARR, I'm going to be making boxers until the cows come home! Still love that pattern, though.
