My old boy cat has become quite vocal, even more than he was last month. He goes in the kitchen and calls me loudly. He even does a meow that sounds like he's hurt or in pain. lol His "pain" is a demand for extra canned food.
His other activity is to stand in front of me when I am in the recliner, stare at me with his big Puss n Boots (from Shrek) eyes and then meow. He wants his snacks. He also is demanding I give up my chair to him so he can go to bed on it. Ummm....no. lol
My end of year totals are not that great. It's like 2020 stole some of my crafting mojo. I only finished 6 knit projects, 61.5 ounces of fiber spun, and 2 medium cross stitches. The knitting included 1 sweater, 3 pairs of socks, and 2 shawls.
My objectives for 2021 are simple. Craft what I want when I want.
Starting of the year is my "Frosted" sweater which has been almost finished, frogged twice, and re-started for attempt number 3. I still have "Skaha" kitted and ready to start. There's also the "Love In the Time of Coronavirus Shawl" kitted and ready to go. And, of course, the never ending Vivid Blanket. I need to put some strips together on that.
My cross stitch plans are to finish my current WIPs. "Curious Cats" cross stitch just needs backstitching of which there is a fair amount. "Christmas Tree and Birds" is showing progress. It's slow going because you have so many color changes with lots of 1 or 2 stitch sections. "Seaside Lighthouse 2" hasn't seen much attention lately, but that needs to change. There are a few small ornaments in the works too.
Spinning has been mostly in limbo since TdF last July with only a little done since then. I need to jump start that and get some braids done.
The year of 2020 was the worst anyone had seen. It brought such devastation, fear, and death from Covid-19. It saw the entire world restricted and in isolation. There were many protests across the country. So much needs to be done to make our country fair and equal to all. The start of 2021 was a continuation of everything, except for one huge hope - a vaccine to fight the virus. Now we have mutated strains of the virus spreading it even faster to contend with. I still have high hopes of the vaccine's success.
Then, yesterday happened. The attack on the Capitol in Washington, DC was something I never dreamed would happen. I'm still numbed by the horror of seeing it on my television. It will take a long time for recovery from the trauma inflicted by it.
