My Crafting Finally Returns... Goodbye SweetTipper

 It's been a slow year for my craft projects.  I had other things needing my attention and I also got into a slump.  There's been very little knitting or spinning, and a little bit of cross stitching done since the New Year. 

I did finish a sweater, a shawl, and the snowflake wreath.  There was some fiber spun, too.  There is progress, but none of my cross-stitch projects are completed yet.  They do take longer to do.  Plus, three of the four are larger pieces.  One is over five feet long.

I've been good about buying yarn and fiber.  I only added a few skeins and some fiber for dyeing purposes.  Since the basement stairs are still an issue for me, Pat will help me set up my supplies on the deck table and I will dye up some lovelies soon.  I am waiting for the weather to be a little bit cooler.

We had to say goodbye to our boy kitty, Tipper, a few months ago.  He had end stage renal failure and there was nothing we could do.  We do still have our old girl kitty.  Ironically, she was diagnosed with kidney disease in 2019 and we thought she would go first, but she's still here, looks and acts healthy, and being her sassy self. 😊
